An oldie but goodie! – Our freezer is 35 years old, so the model isn't even able to be reviewed. But I can't say enough about this little sweetheart of a freezer we bought in 1987 to store our homemade apple juice, among other things. It is a 10 cu White Whestinghouse chest freezer model #FC105, and is 35 and a half years old. The only thing we've ever needed done is… Read more

an new hinge, which I just installed, which is why I was looking up parts. I defrosted it and vacuumed the coils every year in the fall for the new apple juice. It still keeps everything solidly frozen and runs perfectly. I hope I haven't jinxed it!

I am a happy puppy! – I have just fitted a Westinghouse induction cooktop that has many of my neighbours envious. I have taken great pains to get what I wanted and I would like to discuss my project with a new product manager. There are improvements that I believe would make Westinghouse induction cooktops peerless. This idea would certainly be easier on John citizen and could possibly be developed as a new range into the Westingihouse stable Show details

Westinghouse Chest Freezer – Great size family freezer, loads of room plus a basket. We had an old Tuckerbox freezer which was great, but used a lot of energy. This one uses much less, has just as much capacity, is light weight (easy for cleaning), has an external drain, and takes up less space. All this under $350. Love it.

Very quiet, does what it says. Needs more baskets – This is a very very quiet unit, it sits in my garage anyway, but wow, don't even hear a hum when it is running. Size-wise, is what it is, says 200L you get 200L, I guess it is all in the name. Comes with one basket, definitely needs more if you want to buy two more baskets you'll be up for nearly another $100 though so they get you there and you… Read more

don't have the option to buy as an additional accessory from your retailer.

It says that it is not frost-free, and it certainly lives up to its name though, mine started frosting on the side almost immediately if you have vac sealed food that is best. If you don't well you will see a lot of ice start to form inside your food containers or on your food in bags. My plastic containers are beginning to look like the trailer from Frozen. Can't complain about it too much though because it never claimed to be frost-free.

Loses a star for only having one basket and additional baskets being so expensive, plus frosting so fast means ill probably be defrosting regularly.

Excellent chest freezer for a decent price ! – Have decided to stock up and buy my frozen food in bulk and my fridge freezer combo at the moment just wasn't big enough so bit the bullet and decided to purchase a stand alone chest freezer , was slightly concerned about the upcoming power bill , to my amazement the power bill was no different to the one before purchasing this freezer , is whisper quiet and has a decent internal volume

Love it! – Pros - Great size. I use it to store pre-made meals and it is fantastic for buying meat or other foods in bulk when on special. For a family of 5 it is a perfect size. Have had ours 8 months already and only needing to do a defrost now. It was recommended every 6 months so I'm happy about how good it's gone frost free. Haven't noticed much of an… Read more

increase in the powerbill.

Cons- Door takes a good 10-15mins before it can be re-opened but this isn't a problem for me.

Great small freezer – This size freezer a good accompaniment to my upright model, also a Westinghouse. We live outside town, and do a weekly shop. It is quiet and economical, holds sufficient food for my family and I can freeze leftovers when I make too much. Will also allow me to cater for parties when I make food ahead for the occasion.  Show details

Compact Freezer for those that live in apartements – Bought this freezer after having left behind the Fisher and Paykel freezer which I had back in Perth Western Australia. As someone who prefers to buy things in bulk and just store in the freezer, I was always annoyed when I bought stuff and found that my regular Fridge's freezer compartment was always too small to accommodate the things that I… Read more

bought. So I did some research and compromised on this one due to the little space that it uses especially when it comes apartment living. So far so good. Does the work well. The suction caps can be quite inflexible but I guess that's the beautiful thing about it as it will stop air from leaking out and help with reducing those power bills. Would I recommend it to anyone? Yes definitely!

Loads of space – This freezer is just great for us (small family of three) it can hold 6 loaves of bread easily without taking up much of its huge space. 2Lt ice cream blocks, no problem. We keep ours in the garage as a second freezer for bulky items. The only annoying thing about it is that once you open the lid and close it again, the suction is so strong that… Read more

you can not open the freezer again for about 15 minutes. I tried to open it many times and find that the whole freezer will lift off the floor before it will release the lid. If you forget to get something out then you are pretty much stumped for the next 15 mins until it decides to let you back in. Other than that, it has worked perfectly for the 18 months that we have had it. Very pleased with the freezer but I will admit to yelling at it sometimes when I find I'm locked out.

Great for additional space – We use this for additional freezer space as our integrated drawer freezer doesn't have a lot of room for bulk orders of bread, meat, etc. The chest freezer is quiet, seals well, and has more than enough space for a two-person household. One thing to note is that, because it's not frost-free, this isn't ideal if you're opening it every day. We… Read more

only open it once or twice a week and have still had to defrost it twice in under a year. That said, the plastic scraper it comes with works great, and it doesn't take long to get all the ice out.

Excellent – I bought this freezer to replace an older fridge to house my home brew fermentation vessel using an external thermostat. It works an absolute treat, have not run into the problem of sticking door seal like others have stated. It's not frost free but doesn't affect me because I turn it off when not in use.  Show details

Excellent – Supports a great deal of space, and is ideal for any small to Medium family. Maintains a constant temperature and is quiet. The seal seems to be rugged and should cope with regular lifting. So far it hasn't needed any defrosting, as our old Tuckerbox required. Our previous Haier had just broken down, and we missed out on the Aldi unit, which was far cheaper.  Show details

Great freezer but lid can be hard to open – Purchased the freezer and it has been fine but when it is empty and you have recently opened the lid, it creates a suction effect making it impossible to open the lid until you wait for a while. Having less of an issue with this now that it has heavier food in there. Apart from that, it looks good and is keeping my food cold.  Show details

Excellent Product – I purchased this freezer four months ago. So far it has worked well. It runs quietly. It freezes at the manufacturer-recommened setting to -19C, slightly colder than the minimum -18C required for frozen food storage. It has a good design and the interior is roomy. The freezer seal functions as designed and described by Westinghouse in the user's… Read more

manual that is supplied with the freezer. The freezer did not made any noticeable difference to the last power bill, but time is needed for a more accurate assessment of electricity costs. I recommend this product given it's consistent performance and reliability. The only negative is by way of a suggestion to Westinghouse: another basket would be useful. You have outdone yourselves regarding inflated pricing for extra and replacement baskets for this product.

Happy with freezer – We are very happy with this freezer after having to return another brand to a different store as the lid could not seal properly and then it started to smell. This freezer has a heavier lid and seals properly and you know air cannot escape, so no extra money wasted on electricity bills. This lid also opens easily enough, even after just opening… Read more

it. I have not found any problems with opening the lid and it sticking close - I live in the tropics and it is summer time. It is quiet with only a slight click when the motor kicks in and then it is quiet again. I would love to see an interior light as I had gotten use to one with our now deceased Fisher & Paykel. It would also be nice to have those extra lights that tell you when it is freezing etc. But, hey, we are very happy with this freezer and Harvey Norman gave us an exceptional deal. Great value for its money and it does what it is advertised to do - which is freeze and seals in the cold air.

Burns everything in it within hours – Hubby and i bought this freezer on sale from HN's about the middle of the year. It's a 219L chest freezer and it's about the size we needed as we live remotely. After getting it home we were pretty impressed with how well it was running and how we can never ever hear it. Except for it's size, you'd never even know you've got a freezer running. … Read more

We stocked the freezer with out weekly/monthly shops of meats, complete meals, zip lock bags of dog foods and chinese containers of freshly made soup.

To our disgust, within 1-2 days ALL the meat was freezer burned so badly we had to use it for dog food. That is, over $200 worth of beef and chicken. Even the ice cream is ruined.

We turned the freezer down and the same thing continues to happen even on it's lowest possible setting. We are constantly losing $ on meals and meats put in there and we've tried stocking it more, layering the foods differently, using the hanging baskets differently, double bagging the meats, lining the floor with the soup containers etc etc. the list goes on. Regardless of what we try this blooding freezer keeps sucking the moisture out of already sealed bags/containers!

The freezer is not sealing properly either, its sporadic at best. Sometimes it does suction closed and stay like that if you try to open it again, you can't. (like all good quality freezers) however 90% of the time, the seal is so light it's like its only the weight of the lid actually making it close. Its easily opened with 1 finger! Again, we have messed around with the positioning of the cages inside it and have no good results, its just hit and miss.

We are currently trying to contact Westinghouse to see if this is a known issue or if we are doing something wrong but i highly doubt that. Pending their reply i think i will be selling this freezer and going back to a fisher and paykel with which we never had any issues.

DO NOT BUY!

Failed on the 1st week – Bought this a week ago and it stopped working. They couldn't fix it and I am still waiting for westinghouse/electrolux to get back to me on a solution. My full load of frozen food is now going into the bin. Thought a branded product will not fail me that soon, should have bought a less known brand for lesser price instead  Show details

Does exactly what it is supposed to do – Bought the Westinghouse after returning not just one but two Hisense units. The Hisense chest freezers both had faulty seal rims (dips in the the actual plastic moulding that were too deep for the seal to close off), causing excess ice build up. Both Hisense units also made an unpleasant gas type odour which left me feeling unwell after a few… Read more

hours in the same room.

The 200L Westinghouse is clearly a better quality unit with a perfectly straight/flat seal rim and a much larger, more solid seal. There is no odour and the unit does not run as often. Should have saved myself some trouble and spent the extra $70 on the Westinghouse at the outset.
