Freezers?

More Options While I Do My Online Shopping:

This isn't a freezer but a mini pep fridge and I'm kind of in love with it

This is a freezer/fridge combo and I absolutely love it seems like it might be just big enough for a normal pep stash. Worth noting that it's not a deep freezer though.

I haven't looked at them all, but I discovered that if you look for insulin freezers and fridges you get a lot more options.

My freezer came with the transformer. Have it placed in it's long term location. I am waiting for 24 hrs since moving before powering it up.

Once you get it fired up and you let us know if it is very loud? Like, could you keep it in a room that is regularly used?

the freezer is about as loud as a microwave oven fan. Once it reaches a stable temperature, the compressor runs a few minutes an hour. So far, it is working well. That is my long term storage. less than a few months is in the garage freezer and the currently reconstituted vial is in the garage refrigerator.

Nice! I'm currently satisfied storing at -22C in my little Amazon freezer.

It is loaded with peps I might not even use, mostly Tirz 30 kits and it seems I am switching to Reta.

Who am I kidding, I will probably join the sub 70C club at some point.
 
Just received the new freezer today (the 3.5 cu/ft that goes down to -40) and will be sure to write up a little review for those that care. So far, it has a "skin" evaporator and the fan in the bottom is only for cooling the compressor. Runs on R290 aka propane as a refrigerant which makes sense given the temperatures it operates at.

I am strongly considering replacing the fan with something quieter since it uses an off the shelf 120mm "pc" fan for cooling.

time for a noctua mod
 
Whelp, I tried to get my hands on this freezer because it seems big enough to accommodate a "normal" pep stash, but shipping is ridiculous right now. Apparently everyone is rushing orders to avoid Trump tariffs so everything is expensive. https://m.alibaba.com/x/x9fa0ve?ck=pdp

Going to wait until things stabilize.

You guys had good price before? Got quoted 350$ of shipping to send a 500$ box weighting about 50lb by BOAT to Canada, that was 60 days shipping. That was literally the cheapest options and I had to try a couple of vendors in order to get it 😂

That's crazy. Maybe I'm just spoiled.

I've purchased other things from Alibaba in the past and I never had to pay that much for a sample.

I did see some larger cryogenic freezers ($600) with shipping for $95 so some companies seem to have figured it out.

Aaah be careful with the amount showing up, the suggested shipping implies that you actually go pick it up yourself at the port, no joke 🤣

No, it would just take a really long time. It would come by boat and wouldn't arrive until mid February. Shipping can be cheap if you're willing to wait, but that wasn't even an option this time.

Well for me all the initial quote I got were delivered at my nearest port only, they had me pick it up. Door shipping was waaaay more expensive

I've talked to dozens at this point and they all first quote for shipping at my nearest port,so yeah it's shipped by boat and on top of that you have to go pick it up on a port lol

Interesting 🤔 I wonder if that's an industry specific thing
 
So, I came really close to buying a version of this freezer on AliExpress but the best price I could find was about $300 including shipping: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806034456571.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

It's the one with the 17L freezer on the bottom.

I realized at that point that $300 would get me a really good normal freezer and went back to the drawing board. I'm now looking at portable car freezers on Amazon like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B1Q2J2X1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AFNMPH8W65Q6L&psc=1

It's also half as expensive as the mini fridge, but more importantly it's portable and has a battery. Not sure if this is what I actually want though. I've been looking for a chest freezer to stock up on some things and this is about the same cost. Main benefits of a car freezer are portability and built in battery, but is that enough?

I want a real lab freezer but the freight fees are killing me, half the cost is in shipping and nobody in my area is selling any

It’s been a few weeks but I have been happy with the -40 chest freezer that was mentioned a while ago. It does keep -40 without much fuss and isn’t that big thankfully.

Edit: Not sure about their longevity but those car freezers are pretty nifty if you travel a bunch. We use them when we go to Miami to load up on fresh avocados and they keep everything fresh and cool even in the Florida sun. Only thing I can say about them is they are ass once unplugged compared to a regular cooler.

Might be prying but do you have any other chest freezers in your home? Not sure if you like hoarding food like peptides but they are quite nice to have around 🙂

I don't have a chest freezer, but I have been thinking about getting one to stock up on a few things and get my peptides out of the regular freezer. The only thing holding me back is that I actually like the car freezer. tl;dr is that I've been thinking about traveling more (internationally) and I think it would be much easier to do that if I took my peps with me. Can't do this with a normal chest freezer. Also has the added benefit of keeping everything cool during transport.
 
After reviewing a lot of options, I ended up going with this portable car freezers on Amazon:


A few reasons why:

- While this one has no reviews, it's a new model being offered by an established brand in the portable freezer space
- It will maintain a temp of -20°c
- It's significantly smaller than most portable freezers which gives me more storage options. It will also be easier to travel with if I need to transport my entire pep stash
- it has a nice and easy to read digital display
- seems like the best balance of cost and features if you don't want to buy an actual cryo freezer.

I'll do some temp tests once it arrives and let you know how they go.

Here is the one that I ordered. There are a few companies that resell these but they are all the same so long as they have the "upgraded compressor" picture and the digital control panel.

How much more is the electric cost to run a super cold -40 etc freezer vs a standard one? Any ideas on the power draw?
Click to expand...
Depends on your local cost per kwh but I can say that the freezer uses ~160w when running and it seems to be running most of the time when I am near it. If I estimate that it runs 20 hours a day (a over estimation hopefully) it would use 3.2 kwh per day and that would cost someone paying 15 cents per kwh .48 cents a day. At some point, I will time it and leave the meter plugged in for 24 hours to get a proper estimation of its actual power usage per day because I do have hope that it doesn't cost half a dollar a day to run 💸
 
Thanks for that! I might grab it. I was hoping to find a smaller one, because ai have to keep it upstairs in my home office/guest bedroom/3d printing station…..but Ibreally do want the -40 one.
