Because you make bulk purchases, you are able to make less frequent visits to the grocery store, saving you precious time that you can use to go jogging or walking or activities you never had time for.

What's more, by bundling your grocery shopping, you save on gas, whose price is rising by the day.

As is the case with most chest freezers, the Frigidaire GLFC2027FW is white and is easy to keep clean because dirt shows easily. When you have a clean freezer, you are also likely to have a hygienic environment. A clean kitchen makes cooking a pleasure and prevents disease-causing bacteria from spreading. The peace of mind that comes from knowing that your family is healthy and well is invaluable.

This freezer features the Gallery Series' trademark food organization system. This consists of heavy duty dividers that are adjustable and are great for holding different types of food in separate compartments...

The adjustable dividers make it easy to locate and retrieve food and eliminate the risk of cross-contamination - keeping your ice-cream from smelling or tasting like beef, for example.

The freezer also comes with printable storage labels. These help you organize your freezer items by type and expiry date, which in turn makes it easy to locate and retrieve food. Labeling food properly ensures that the food frozen first is used first thereby eliminating the risk of food wastage.

Frigidaire GLFC2027FW Benefits

Because the Frigidaire GLFC2027FW is a luxurious chest freezer, it comes with a raft of useful features. These include:

3 lift-out storage baskets
Food organization system
Adjustable temperature control
Power indicator light
Lock with pop-out key
Interior light
Defrost drain
Oil cooler

The 3 lift-out storage baskets are handy for storing and retrieving small or frequently used items. And of course, these baskets can be completely removed from the freezer to create room for bulky or tall items.

The baskets and the adjustable food dividers complement each other well. They ensure that you have a well-organized freezer with little effort. It is, in turn, easier and less stressful to store, locate and retrieve food and generally maneuver around the freezer.

The adjustable temperature knob enables you to alter your freezer temperature as needed. For instance, it is recommended that you set your freezer temperature to a colder setting 3 hours before freezing new food items such as meat and vegetables. This stops bacterial growth but also helps preserve the food's wholesomeness.

The power indicator light tells you, with a quick look, whether your freezer is receiving power. If it is not, you are able to take corrective measures to reinstate power supply to it, preventing food wastage and the related investment.

The lock with pop-out key automatically ejects the key upon locking, ensuring that you do not forget the key in the lock. You are then able to prevent unauthorized people with dubious intentions and your little children from accessing the freezer...

In that sense, the lock helps to child-proof your freezer, keeping young children away from danger.

The interior light, is, in order to maximize lighting, located on the inner side of the freezer lid. It is crucial for storing and retrieving food in dark and dimly lit rooms. However, it is also handy in well-illuminated rooms as it spotlights the freezer items, enabling you to identify what you're looking for quickly.

As is the case with virtually all chest freezers, the Frigidaire GLFC2027FW needs to be manually defrosted when a 1/4 to 1/2 inch layer of frost has formed, about every 12-18 months or so. While this is a tedious exercise, it is vital as a freezer with a thick layer of frost does not freeze well and consumes a lot of energy.

The defrost drain makes freezer defrosting easier. You don't have to lift and overturn this heavy freezer, which weighs 195 lbs, in order to drain the run-off water out of the unit. Simply tilt the unit toward the defrost drain.

And, to avoid mopping a wet messy floor afterward, you can channel the water run-off directly into a sink. To do so, just attach a hose adapter and garden hose to the defrost drain.

The oil cooler drives hot air out of your freezer, ensuring that the freezer cools faster. As the freezer compressor never overheats, it is guaranteed to last longer.

Consumer Reviews

This section details the pros and cons of the Frigidaire GLFC2027FW chest freezer highlighted by real buyers and our review of the manufacturer's specifications.

Advantages

The Frigidaire GLFC2027FW is quite large. With that huge cold storage capacity, you are able to shop and cook less often. In so doing, you save time, money and gas...

You can then spend the precious time saved on fun activities with your family. And, by buying in bulk, you buy at a discount, which saves you money. This helps you keep your food expenditure in check. This is especially important in this period of drastically rising food prices.

The adjustable food dividers are a huge plus as they make freezer organization a lot easier.

The lock and key are great for keeping little children safe and thieving neighbors and relatives at bay.

Disadvantages

This chest freezer model has to be manually defrosted from time to time. While this is by all accounts a cumbersome exercise, it is necessary for the freezer's efficient operation. Indeed, a chest freezer that is defrosted on time freezes well and doesn't consume too much energy.

The Frigidaire GLFC2027FW is not Energy Star qualified so it is not the most energy-efficient 19.7 Cu. Ft. chest freezer. Freezers, along with refrigerators consume nearly a sixth of all electricity in a typical American home so this chest freezer doesn't exactly help in bringing down your energy consumption...

That said, it consumes 480 kWh of electricity each year, about 55 percent what a single 100 Watt light bulb does. This translates into an electric bill of about $51 a year, or $4.25 a month.

Only buy this freezer if it is not too big for your requirements as half-full freezers tend to use more energy. You can, of course, fill up the empty space with old juice, milk or water plastic bottles filled with water, old cartons or even scrunched up newspapers.

With such a large freezer, you run the risk of unwittingly burying and forgetting about food. This buried food is as good as wasted and the money invested to purchase it as good as lost. Admittedly, food dividers mitigate this risk well although they don't altogether eliminate it.

This freezer has dimensions of (HxDxW) of 35 in x 29 1/2 in x 61 1/4 in and is huge. Don't be tempted to buy it unless you have adequate room for it. It is certainly not recommended for apartments and condos as it probably will not fit. Even when it does fit, it is likely to clutter them.

Conclusion

The Frigidaire GLFC2027FW is a large lockable freezer that enables you cash in on bulk purchases, saving you both time and money. Its revolutionary food organization system is also a huge plus as it aids in locating and retrieving food.

The model is recommended for large families with the floor space in the kitchen, garage or other outbuilding for it.
