1Store.lv offers freezers from Berk and Gorenje and other brands, with real availability in our warehouse in Riga.
Types of freezer
- Upright freezers (cabinet type): easy organisation with drawers and shelves.
- Chest freezers: maximum capacity and better cold retention.
- Built-in freezers: for integration into kitchen units.
- Compact models: for extra storage or smaller spaces.
Upright or chest freezer?
An upright freezer gives easy access and a better overview of what is stored.
A chest model is usually more energy-efficient and holds the cold longer during a power cut.
The choice depends on the space available, your habits and how much food you store.
No Frost or static cooling?
No Frost technology prevents ice build-up and circulates the cold evenly, with no manual defrosting.
Static systems are simpler and often cheaper to buy, but they may need defrosting from time to time.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a freezer stay cold without electricity?
Depending on the model: from 12 to 40+ hours. Chest freezers usually hold the cold longer.
Is No Frost essential?
It is not essential, but it considerably reduces the maintenance required and keeps the temperature more even.
How do I work out the right capacity?
As a rule of thumb, allow 50–70 litres per person in the household.
