The 133 cm wide chest is meant for those who outgrew the freezer of a regular fridge long ago. Its 371 litres take large cuts of meat as well as large amounts of berries and vegetables, including irregularly shaped packs that would not fit into drawers. Three baskets keep frequently used food in the top layer, so you do not have to search the bottom of the whole chest for it.
Settings are adjusted electronically and shown on an LED display, so you can check how the freezer is running without opening the lid. The interior light helps you find food in a basement or a dim utility room. The four-star rating means the chest is suitable both for freezing fresh food and for long-term storage of frozen food.
On the EU energy label the Whirlpool W3RHS37EW1 is class E, with an annual consumption of 254 kWh according to the manufacturer. Multiply that figure by your own rate per kWh to find out the yearly running cost. The noise level is 40 dB with noise class C, the third step on the A to D scale. The connected load is 180 W and the supply voltage 220–240 V.
Climate class SN-T shows which room temperatures the freezer works in: SN means operation from +10 °C, and the T class also allows installation in a warmer room. So it suits a heated basement, pantry or utility room, but not a garage that gets cold in winter. The dimensions are 133 × 70.5 × 85 cm and the weight is 49.5 kg; leave free space above the chest for the lid to open.
This model has no No Frost system, so ice gradually builds up on the walls and the chest has to be defrosted by hand from time to time. The three baskets make it easier to lift food out, and during defrosting the stock can be moved temporarily to another freezer or a cool place. Removing the ice layer also helps to keep the usable capacity and the energy use at the level stated by the manufacturer.
The Whirlpool W3RHS37EW1 suits large families, owners of a country house and anyone who freezes a lot of home-grown produce, berries or game. Its 371 litres are more than the 308 litres of the W3RHS30DW, but it also needs a wider space of 133 cm. If there is room in a heated utility area and occasional defrosting is not a problem, it can become the main store for your food stocks.
