At a glance
The CHiQ 500L Hybrid Chest Freezer is a large-capacity storage solution for families, bulk shoppers and anyone needing overflow space for frozen food or drinks. Its switchable fridge/freezer modes, digital controls and removable baskets make it flexible and practical. Strong value comes from the 5 star energy rating and generous capacity. The main limitation is the chest design, which makes items at the bottom slower to access than in an upright model.
What it’s great for
- Bulk grocery storage
- Meal prep overflow
- Meat storage
- Seasonal entertaining
- Flexible fridge or freezer use
Where it works best
- Large household
- Family kitchen overflow area
- Pantry or utility room
- Garage
- Entertaining space
Who it’s for
- Large family
- Bulk buyer
- Meal prep household
- Home entertainer
- Hunter or meat buyer
Things to consider
The chest format gives you excellent storage volume, but it is less convenient than an upright freezer for quickly reaching items stored at the bottom.
Large family suitability
9/10 - 500L capacity is well suited to larger households needing substantial frozen or chilled overflow space.
Bulk food storage fit
Excellent for bulk food storage
Energy efficiency score
9/10 - strong 5 star energy rating with estimated annual energy consumption of 165kWh.
Garage placement suitability
Good - chest format and roller wheels suit utility areas, provided the space is sheltered and appropriate for appliance use.
Noise level rating
6/10 - no published noise figure, so it is better suited to utility spaces than quiet living areas.
Key benefits
- 500L Capacity: gives large households plenty of room for bulk groceries, meal prep and seasonal overflow.
- Hybrid Fridge/Freezer Design: lets you switch between refrigerator and freezer use as your storage needs change.
- Digital Thermostat: makes it easier to adjust and monitor temperature settings for different food and drink storage needs.
- Fridge Temperature Range: can run from 2 to 8°C when you need extra chilled storage.
- Freezer Temperature Range: can run from -16 to -28°C for long-term frozen storage.
- Three Sliding Removable Baskets: help keep smaller items organised and easier to find.
- Six Roller Wheels: makes the unit easier to reposition for cleaning or layout changes.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: helps reduce running costs, with estimated annual energy consumption of 165kWh.
Q: Can this hybrid chest freezer refrigerate and freeze at the same time?
A: No. CHiQ CCF499B5E switches between refrigerator mode and freezer mode, so it runs as one or the other at a time. That flexibility suits changing storage needs, but it will not keep fresh and frozen food in separate zones together.
Q: Does the 5 star rating mean lower running costs?
A: CHiQ CCF499B5E has a 5 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 165kWh. A higher star rating generally means lower running costs than other 500L chest freezers with a lower rating.
Q: Is a chest freezer layout harder to organise than an upright?
A: Yes. A chest freezer gives more open bulk-storage space, but items at the bottom are slower to reach than in an upright freezer. CHiQ CCF499B5E includes three sliding removable baskets to keep smaller packs easier to find.
Q: What temperature range does each mode use on the CHiQ 500L?
A: CHiQ CCF499B5E uses 2 to 8 degrees C in refrigerator mode and -16 to -28 degrees C in freezer mode. The digital thermostat lets you change modes to suit drinks, fresh food or longer-term frozen storage.
Q: How easy is this 500L freezer to move for cleaning?
A: Yes. CHiQ CCF499B5E has six roller wheels, so it is easier to reposition for cleaning than a fixed chest freezer. It is still a large 500L unit, so moving it is best done carefully on a flat floor rather than over steps or rough surfaces.
Q: Will the settings stay locked if children touch the controls?
A: Yes. CHiQ CCF499B5E includes a child lock to stop accidental changes to the temperature settings. That is useful if the freezer is in a shared area where the controls could be bumped during normal household use.
