The Sensis RFTLF01Z54EW is a freestanding tall freezer with 169 l of net storage, laid out over four drawers and a sliding tray. It suits a household that needs more frozen space than a fridge freezer offers, and it is made to run in a garage or outbuilding in temperatures as low as -15°C, as well as indoors.

Cooling and storage

Four drawers keep meat, fish, vegetables and ready meals apart, and the sliding tray at the top holds the frozen items you reach for most often. Low Frost uses hidden cooling circuits so less ice builds up, which means you defrost less often and it takes less time when you do. The freezer can freeze up to 7.7 kg of fresh food in 24 hours, and if the power goes off, food stays frozen for up to 11 hours.

Controls and everyday use

A mechanical temperature control sets the conditions inside, with no menus to learn. The rated noise level is 38 dB, so it runs quietly in the background in a kitchen or utility room. The energy class is E, with annual energy consumption of 191 kWh. The door is reversible, so it can open from either side to suit where the freezer stands.

Size and installation

This is a freestanding freezer measuring 54.8 cm wide, 138 cm high and 56.5 cm deep, and it weighs 38 kg. The energy label gives a larger overall size of 142.3 x 56.5 x 58.5 cm, so allow for that figure if the space is tight. Its climate classes are SN, N and ST, and Sensis rates it as safe for a garage or outbuilding in temperatures as low as -15°C, so it is an option if kitchen space is short.
