At a glance
The CHiQ 146L Hybrid Chest Freezer is a compact, flexible unit for households needing extra chilled or frozen storage in smaller spaces. It suits couples, small families or anyone wanting garage-ready overflow capacity, with electronic controls, inverter operation and useful internal organisation.

Things to consider
Its 146L capacity is practical for overflow storage, but it is less suitable than larger chest freezers for big families or frequent bulk-food shoppers.
Large family suitability
5/10 - suitable as extra freezer space, but 146L is limited for larger households relying on one main chest freezer.
Bulk food storage fit
6/10 - works well for moderate bulk buys and meal prep, though regular large-volume shopping may outgrow the space.
Energy efficiency score
9/10 - strong efficiency credentials with a 6 star energy rating and estimated annual energy use of 122kWh.
Garage placement suitability
Well suited to garages and utility spaces thanks to its compact footprint and overflow-storage role.
Noise level rating
7/10 - inverter operation suggests steady everyday running, though no official noise figure is provided.
Key benefits
- 146L Capacity: gives useful overflow storage for frozen or chilled groceries without taking up as much floor space as larger chest freezers.
- Hybrid Fridge/Freezer Design: lets you switch between chilling and freezing to better match changing household storage needs.
- Electronic Temperature Control: makes it easier to set and adjust cabinet temperature for the type of food you store most often.
- Inverter System: supports steady operation for more consistent day-to-day performance.
- Interior LED Light: helps you see contents more clearly when loading, unloading or searching for smaller items.
- Hanging Basket: keeps frequently used or smaller items easier to reach instead of getting buried underneath larger packs.
- Wire Mesh Partition: improves internal organisation by separating different food types within the main storage area.
- 6 Star Energy Rating: helps reduce running costs with an estimated annual energy consumption of 122kWh.
Q: Is this 146L chest freezer big enough for everyday household use?
A: For singles, couples or as extra storage, yes. The 146L capacity suits frozen staples, batch cooking and overflow groceries, but it can feel tight as the main freezer for a larger family or frequent bulk buying.
Q: Can the CHiQ CCF145BE switch between fridge and freezer modes?
A: Yes. The CHiQ CCF145BE has a hybrid design, so the cabinet can be set to chill or freeze using the electronic controls. It works in one mode at a time, so it cannot run part fridge and part freezer simultaneously.
Q: How efficient is this chest freezer to run year round?
A: CHiQ CCF145BE has a 6 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 122kWh. A higher star rating generally means lower running costs than other 146L chest freezers with a lower rating, though room temperature and settings still matter.
Q: What helps keep smaller frozen items easy to find inside?
A: The hanging basket, wire mesh partition and interior LED light make smaller packs easier to sort and spot. That helps in a chest freezer where food can stack deep, but the main storage is still one open cavity rather than separate drawers.
Q: Will this work as a main freezer for a large family?
A: No, not for most larger households. The 146L capacity is better suited to a small home, holiday place or overflow storage, so big weekly stock-ups and bulky frozen boxes will fill it faster than a larger chest freezer.
