Manual Defrost Upright Freezer – AccuCold1.8 Cu.Ft

Manual Defrost Upright Freezer: Precision Storage for Medical, Lab, and Home Use

When precise, secure cold storage is a must, our AccuCold manual defrost upright freezer stands out as a professional-grade solution built for dependability. With its compact size, NSF-7 commercial certification, and factory-installed lock, this 1.8 cu.ft countertop freezer delivers performance trusted in medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and clinical environments.

Its minimalist exterior hides powerful cooling capabilities, including temperature operation as low as -20°C, making it perfect for sensitive contents such as vaccines, biological samples, research chemicals, and frozen test media. If you’re searching for a compact upright freezer with manual defrost for strict temperature stability, this is one of the most reliable options on the market.

Why Choose a Manual Defrost Upright Freezer?

While frost-free freezers are ideal for convenience, manual defrost freezers like our Manual Defrost Upright Freezer offer a critical advantage: superior temperature consistency. The absence of an automatic defrost cycle means no internal temperature spikes, ensuring safe, stable storage for sensitive contents.

This makes the Manual Defrost Upright Freezer particularly valuable in the following contexts:

• Medical laboratories storing plasma, specimens, or enzyme samples

• Pharmacies maintaining strict vaccine and medication preservation

• Research facilities requiring stable sub-zero environments

• Clinics or dental practices preserving anesthetics and temperature-sensitive materials

• Home use where reliable frozen storage is needed for backup or specialty items

Compact Design Meets Commercial-Grade Reliability

Engineered for tight workspaces and countertop installation, this model fits where larger units can’t, without sacrificing performance. Its clean white exterior, flush back design, and quiet operation (less than 40 dB) make it a discreet and professional addition to medical environments, home labs, or office-based practices.

• Dimensions: 24.63″ (H) x 18.5″ (W) x 17.75″ (D)

• Capacity: 1.8 cu.ft fits multiple small specimen containers or frozen packages

• Weight: 43 lbs easily repositioned as needed

Reliable Cold Storage with Reversible Access

Flexibility is key in small and shared spaces. The reversible door swing on this upright freezer allows left or right opening, so you can configure it to your workspace layout. Inside, the flat door liner provides more usable shelf space no bulky door racks eating into capacity.

The two wire shelves are adjustable and removable to accommodate containers of various sizes. Whether you’re storing boxes of insulin, lab tubes, or food for specialized diets, this freezer keeps contents visible and accessible.

Security Comes Standard with Factory-Installed Lock

Unlike many consumer models, the AccuCold Upright Freezer includes a factory-installed keyed lock on the door. This is essential for:

• Preventing unauthorized access in shared facilities

• Protecting controlled substances or high-value research samples

• Ensuring regulatory compliance in health-related settings

This makes it ideal not just for function, but for institutional safety standards.

Temperature Accuracy with Simple Controls

Precision doesn’t have to mean complexity. The manual thermostat dial inside our Manual Defrost Upright Freezer offers straightforward control, allowing you to calibrate the internal temperature to match specific storage needs.

• Temperature Range: Capable of reaching -20°C

• Mechanical thermostat for stable, predictable cooling

• No digital sensors = no risk of software failure

• Minimal temperature drift, a hallmark of manual defrost systems

For labs or environments where data integrity depends on consistent conditions, this feature cannot be overstated.

Quiet, Eco-Friendly Cooling Technology

Our Manual Defrost Upright Freezer is equipped with a modern R600a refrigerant system, known for its energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

• Whisper-quiet operation

• Energy-efficient compressor

• ETL and ETL-S sanitation compliant

• Minimal vibration – ideal for labs storing sensitive biological samples

This makes it a low-noise, low-emission option for shared medical environments or personal use.
