Buying a freezer: what should you look out for?
Anyone about to buy a freezer faces a few concrete decisions. The three most important factors are capacity in litres, the type of freezer and the energy rating. Together those three determine both the purchase price and the running costs over the long term.
Capacity: the capacity of a freezer is expressed in litres. The more people in a household, the more capacity you need. As a rule of thumb, allow 50 to 60 litres per person.
Energy rating: the EU energy rating scale runs from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A freezer runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A more efficient rating makes a measurable difference to your electricity costs over a year. On a 200 litre freezer, the difference between a model rated C and one rated E can add up to 40 to 60 euros a year.
Dimensions: always measure the available space before you buy — width, height and depth — and allow a ventilation margin of at least 5 cm around the appliance. Freestanding freezers stand on their own; built-under or under counter models fit beneath a worktop.
Freezing temperature: the standard minimum freezing temperature for safe food storage is -18°C. Every Heinner freezer at Pro Witgoed reaches this level and is therefore suitable for the long-term storage of meat, fish, vegetables and ready meals.
Which type of freezer suits your situation?
There are three common types: freestanding freezers, chest freezers and fridge freezers. They differ in capacity, footprint and ease of use.
- Freestanding freezer: a slim upright cabinet, suitable for the kitchen, the utility room or the garage. Easy to use thanks to drawers or compartments at eye level.
- Chest freezer: a wide, horizontal design. The most capacity per euro, but it needs more floor space and a little more effort to reach the items at the bottom.
- Fridge freezer: combines a fridge and a freezer in one appliance. Space-saving and practical if you need both fridge and freezer capacity.
First-time buyers and small households are best served by a compact freestanding model or an under counter freezer. These are easy to position, more than enough for one or two people and have a low purchase price.
Families and landlords get the most out of a larger freestanding freezer (200 litres or more) or a chest freezer. A chest freezer gives you the most capacity per euro, which makes it the most economical choice if you regularly buy in bulk or store seasonal produce.
Freestanding freezers
The freestanding freezer is the most versatile choice. You can put it in the kitchen, the utility room, the garage or a storage room, anywhere there is a socket. The layout with drawers or compartments makes it easy to sort your food and find it again. At Pro Witgoed, Heinner freestanding freezers come in several capacities and are available straight from stock.
Chest freezers
A chest freezer generally gives you the most freezer capacity for the lowest price per litre. That makes the chest freezer popular with landlords furnishing a whole property, with larger families who buy in bulk and with keen gardeners who want to freeze the harvest as the seasons come round. The drawback is the horizontal design: you need more floor space and you sometimes have to reach down deep for the items at the bottom.
Why a Heinner freezer is the smartest choice
Heinner makes domestic appliances that meet the same technical standards and safety requirements as appliances from well-known name brands. Think of CE certification, a standard freezing temperature of -18°C, energy rating classification and the materials used. The difference is not in the quality, but in the brand building: with a name brand you help pay for marketing budgets, sponsorship deals and retail margins. With Heinner you pay for the appliance itself.
A concrete comparison: a 200 litre freestanding freezer from a well-known name brand easily costs 350 to 500 euros. A comparable Heinner freezer with the same capacity and the same energy rating costs considerably less at Pro Witgoed, and comes with a 5 year full warranty. That is a direct saving with no compromise on quality or lifespan.
Pro Witgoed focuses deliberately and exclusively on Heinner. That lets us negotiate keen buying prices and pass the saving on to the customer in full. No fragmented range, no confusing brand comparisons, just the best model for your budget.

How many litres of freezer do you need?
As a rule of thumb, allow 50 to 60 litres of freezer capacity per person in the household. The overview below will help you settle on the right size quickly.
- 1 person: approx. 50-100 litres
- 2 people: approx. 100-150 litres
- Family of 3 to 4 people: approx. 150-280 litres
- Landlord or extra storage: 300 litres or more
Think about what may change in the future as well. Are you expecting the family to grow, planning to start buying in bulk or hoping to freeze the produce from a vegetable patch? Then go a size up. A freezer that is too small leads to a second purchase sooner than you would expect, which works out dearer than buying the right size straight away.
Common mistakes when buying a freezer
Buying a freezer with your eyes open saves regrets later. These are the most common mistakes:
- Choosing too little capacity on the basis of price: a cheaper, smaller freezer looks attractive, but if it is full within a year a second purchase follows anyway.
- Ignoring the energy rating: a freezer is always on. A model with a D or E energy rating costs noticeably more in electricity over a year than one rated B or C. That difference adds up over the life of the appliance.
- Not checking the dimensions: always measure the available space, including the doorway the appliance has to come through. And do not forget the ventilation margin around the appliance.
- Paying for a brand name: when an unbranded alternative offers the same technical specifications, with a name brand you are paying purely for the logo on the door.
The energy rating on freezers: what do A to G mean?
Since 2021 the EU has used a revised energy rating scale for cooling and freezing. The scale runs from A (most energy efficient) to G (least energy efficient). Many models that used to be called A++ or A+++ now fall into class C, D or E on the new scale; that is not a step backwards in quality, but a fairer comparison.
A practical example: a 200 litre freezer with a C energy rating uses roughly 150 to 180 kWh a year. A comparable model with an E energy rating soon uses 230 to 270 kWh a year. At an electricity price of 0.30 euros per kWh that is a difference of 24 to 27 euros a year, and over 10 years more than 200 euros in electricity costs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a freestanding freezer and a chest freezer?
A freestanding freezer is an upright cabinet with drawers or compartments, much like a fridge. A chest freezer is horizontal and generally offers more capacity per euro, but asks for more floor space. The freestanding freezer is more convenient in daily use; the chest freezer is the most economical choice for large quantities.
How many litres of freezer do I need for a family of 4?
For a family of four, a freezer capacity of 200 to 280 litres is a good guideline. If you regularly buy in bulk or want to freeze seasonal produce, go for the upper end of that range or consider a chest freezer.
Does Pro Witgoed deliver the freezer to my home and install it?
Yes. Pro Witgoed delivers free of charge to the address of your choice and installs the freezer on site. There are no additional delivery or installation charges.
What energy rating does a Heinner freezer have?
The Heinner freezers in our range carry energy ratings from B to E, depending on the model and the capacity. The specific energy rating is stated on the product page of each model.
How long is the warranty on a freezer from Pro Witgoed?
Every freezer at Pro Witgoed comes with a 5 year full warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing faults and defects that arise under normal use.
Are the freezers available straight away?
Yes. Pro Witgoed supplies only from its own stock. You do not have to wait for weeks; the delivery time is short and is confirmed when you place your order.
Why is Heinner cheaper than the well-known brands?
Heinner does not charge you for large marketing budgets, retail margins or brand premiums. Production meets the same CE standards and safety requirements as the name brands. The price difference lies purely in the brand building, not in the quality of the appliance.
Can I buy a fridge freezer if I need both fridge and freezer capacity?
Yes. Alongside separate freezers, Pro Witgoed also offers fridge freezers. This is a practical choice if you want one appliance that both cools and freezes, and want to save space compared with two separate appliances.
A good freezer is an investment that pays you back for years, in food kept well, lower electricity costs and everyday convenience. With the right information you can make a choice that suits your situation, your budget and your space, without paying for more than you need.
