Can't see a safe way to take power cord out of side vent. Should it be back vent?** A: I’ve just got mine also. I undid side vent but have no gap to pull plug out and replace vent so removed back vent but the plug lead is already threaded into a hole I’m not able to replace the vent again with the plug out. I’m so confused **Q: Is it frost free?** A: Hello, Our chest freezers are not frost free. Kind regards **Q: Will this be suitable in a detached garage ? As my current domestic fridge freezer in the garage has cold condensation on the outside ?** A: It does specify that it is suitable for outbuildings and I have it in a detached garage-although my Russell Hobbs model is not the same one as in the picture.. Many makes of freezer specify they are not suitable for outbuildings but I have found that Iceking, Logic and Russell Hobbs are ok outside. I have 2 of each of these makes outside without any running or reliability problems. (Russell Hobbs and currys Logic freezers appear to be mechanically the same). However, they all do collect condensation on the outside. **Q: Did anyone get any help regarding how to get the mains plug out as it’s been threaded out of the freezer only to be threaded back in again! Ahhh** A: Hi l think there is a plastic cover plate which if you remove will allow you access to the cable hope this was helpful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet & looks good too. *by S***E on 24 April 2024* Bought this to store frozen dog food in and the only place to put it was in our hall.

You will not even hear a thing, it is peace and quite. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Power cable hard to reach *by S***Y on 9 October 2023* I bought this freezer to replace a larger larder freezer that was failing. Delivery went smoothly, and I have had it running for several weeks and find it a convenient size for two people, and easy to use. The area under the basket is good for fragile items, and the basket is good for things I need every day, and keeping freezer blocks in. I do find it a little on the loud side, as reviewers have reported. I do like the choice of black or white, and my black freezer looks very smart. The cabinet was easy to move empty, so easy in fact that until it was full I had to get used to how light the lid is and how easy to lift. The only problem was the power cable. You need to pull off a small plastic cover inset on the large one on the freezer back, the install video shows it popping off easily with finger pressure. Ours was so tight the whole freezer back was bending a worrying amount and the clips were starting to break just pulling it with my fingernail. I finally removed it with a spudger (case opening tool) but a flat blade screwdriver would work. Start at the right side, push it between the back and inset plastic along the top edge and twist till the clip pops, work along till they're all free then you should be able to pull the panel off easily. If not repeat for the bottom edge. The install video was sent by customer support at Russell Hobbs, who were prompt and helpful. I had read reviews mentioning other cases where the power cable had been badly positioned , but the panel was the real difficulty. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/349843353-russell-hobbs-142l-chest-freezer-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/349843353-russell-hobbs-142l-chest-freezer-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
