I bought a BEKO ZC130 upright Freezer last year for use in an open dining kitchen. We find it very noisy and have turn it off when eating in the room. Is there a way of checking noise levels on freezers before purchase?
It is an under counter freezer and we are restricted on width.
the decibel rating for the appliance, should be on the energy rating sticker that you get when you purchase the appliance.
of course not everyone has a decibel meter, so, as martin says, it would be a good idea to have it checked out.
noises are often just the pipework of the appliance vibrating against either the cabinet or some other pipework. still, better to have it checked out.
