Liebherr FNd 4224-22

I am looking for a freestanding freezer that can fit in my garage and has enough space for pizzas, snacks and sorbet. The Liebherr FNd 4224-22 is suitable for this. I store all my groceries in 4 freezer drawers and freeze them extra quickly. It is handy that I no longer have to defrost with No Frost, which saves a lot of time and hassle. A small disadvantage is that the freezer has no lighting, but I quickly get used to that.

First impression
When I open the freezer, I notice the display on the inside. I set the temperature here very conveniently and easily adjust it. I also turn on SuperFrost here, which makes my groceries cold extra quickly. It is a pity that the display is on the inside, so I cannot operate it from the outside. This way I first open the door and a little cold escapes. Nevertheless, I save energy thanks to the E-saver. I will come back to this later.

Spacious enough
The freezer has 4 transparent drawers, so I can see better what I have in stock. The drawers are spacious enough for a few pizzas, different flavours of sorbet and bags of oven chips. I also have room for healthier groceries, such as frozen raspberries and spinach for my smoothie. I find it handy that there is a freezer tray, which I use for my favourite snacks. This is actually intended for fruits and herbs, but I store my chocolate eclairs here. This makes them quicker to grab.

More sustainable
I normally set the temperature to -18 degrees Celsius, but with the E-Saver I save energy and increase the temperature by a few degrees. I can access this function via the display. With the E-Saver it is now -16 degrees Celsius, which is cold enough for my pizzas. I usually turn this function on in the winter, when it is already cold in my garage. If I want, I simply turn the function off again.

No lighting
In the evening I notice that the freezer has no interior lighting. This is not a big deal for me, because my garage is lit. Only the back of the freezer is a bit less visible. I then slide the drawer out a bit further.

No Frost
With No Frost, the freezer remains ice-free inside and I never have to defrost it. I defrosted my previous freezer up to 6 times a year, but that is not necessary here. This saves me a lot of time and hassle. What a relief. This makes me definitely recommend the freezer.

Successor for our previous little Liebherr that still worked after more than 15 years but had a lot of ice formation and was undoubtedly extremely energy inefficient. Hopefully this one will last that long. Chose this intermediate size instead of a table model, because apparently a device with no frost has less interior space due to the technology. Now never have to defrost again, ideal! It is also very nice that the back is closed instead of an open grille (dust nest). Layout: the bottom drawer slopes downwards and is therefore very shallow at the back, which is not a very useful space. But the rest of the closet is spacious enough. It is very quiet in normal mode, but during super freeze it makes a high-pitched buzzing sound. For some people this could be disturbing. We have only had it for a short time, but we are very satisfied. It would be ideal if there was a light in it. When registering the product with Liebherr, a total of 7 years warranty.
