Frigidaire GLFC2528FW

Date Published: 2/13/08

We love the interior storage system and bright light in Frigidaire's GLFC2528FW chest freezer, which is a large-capacity unit that can hold vast amounts of frozen foods.

The GLFC2528FW has a typical no-nonsense, no-frills exterior design and comes in basic white. This model, however, has Frigidaire's special food storage system on the inside that helps you organize, store and access your frozen foods. Homeowners tend to need all the help they can get in helping them store and find items inside chest freezers, especially gargantuan models such as the 24.9-cubic foot GLFC2528FW; often, chest freezers are simply large, cavernous spaces. But homeowners also need some storage system flexibility, since some chest freezer owners might choose to store several large frozen turkeys as well as cans of frozen juice concentrate, for example; others just want a place to store all the small bargain items they find at warehouse stores. The Frigidaire food organization system is a series of heavy-duty dividers that fit together in a grid pattern within the freezer, and it comes with storage labels. The GLFC2528FW also has three lift-out storage baskets that slide side-to-side along the top of the refrigerator cabinet, as well as a light.

The GLFC2528FW is a manual-defrost model. It uses approximately 569 kWh of electricity, so you'll pay just about $52 annually to run this chest freezer.

Additional features in the GLFC2528FW include a pop-out lock; the key pops out after you turn the key to lock the freezer. There's also a power-on light, and an audible buzzer-type alarm that sounds if the freezer door is left open or if the temperature inside the freezer compartment rises to a level where the foods inside will start to thaw or melt. This model has electronic controls.

All in all, Frigidaire's GLFC2528FW is an enormous chest freezer with a great interior storage and organizational system.


Pros: Flexible interior storage, brightly lit, durable feel
Cons: Manual defrost model needs to be defrosted periodically
