A freestanding frost free freezer stands on its own rather than being built into cabinetry. It moves cold air around the inside so ice doesn't build up on the walls and drawers, which means no manual defrosting and food that stays easy to see and reach. Before buying, measure the height and width of your space, leave room around it for air to circulate, and check which side the door opens, since a fixed hinge can't be swapped.

AEG's take on this is a tall upright from its 7000 Series, with a matt black finish and electronic controls that show the temperature on a digital display. For more choice, see AEG freestanding freezers, the compact AEG undercounter freestanding freezers or all AEG products.
