Artica AECV8555W Upright Freezer: Compact Freezing Solution

The Artica AECV8555W upright freezer is the perfect solution for households needing additional freezing capacity without sacrificing space. With its 88-liter net capacity distributed across three convenient drawers, this compact freezer offers an ideal balance of storage, efficiency, and functional design. Its classic white finish seamlessly integrates into any kitchen, pantry, or storage area.

Manufactured by Artica, a brand specializing in accessible and reliable refrigeration solutions, this upright freezer has been designed with the real needs of modern homes in mind: maximum space utilization, quiet operation, controlled consumption, and ease of use. It is the smart choice for those looking to expand their freezing capacity without complications.

88-Liter Capacity with Three Organizer Drawers

The Artica AECV8555W offers 88 liters of net freezing capacity, a generous volume for an appliance of such compact dimensions. This capacity is intelligently distributed across three transparent drawers that allow you to view the contents without needing to open each compartment, reducing cold loss and facilitating organization.

The three drawers offer total flexibility to organize food according to your needs: you can dedicate one drawer to meats and fish, another to vegetables and pre-cooked meals, and the third to ice cream and frozen desserts. This category-based organization makes it easy to find what you're looking for quickly and keeps food better organized.

Advantages of drawer organization

• Total visibility: Transparent drawers that allow you to see the contents without opening
• Easy access: Sliding drawer system that makes it easy to reach all products
• Category organization: Three independent spaces for classifying food
• Maximum utilization: Optimized design that uses every available inch
• Less cold loss: You only open the necessary drawer, not the entire freezer
• Easy cleaning: Removable drawers that facilitate cleaning and maintenance

Freezing Capacity: 4 kg in 24 Hours

The Artica AECV8555W freezer has a freezing capacity of 4 kilograms every 24 hours, meaning it can freeze up to 4 kg of fresh food in a day, bringing it from ambient temperature to complete freezing. This capacity is more than sufficient for the needs of most households.

This freezing capacity allows you to take advantage of supermarket offers, preserve homemade meal leftovers, prepare batches of food for the week, or freeze fresh seasonal produce to enjoy all year round. The quick freezing process helps to better preserve the nutritional properties and flavor of foods.

Compact Design: Perfect for Small Spaces

With dimensions of 85 cm high, 55.3 cm wide, and 57.4 cm deep, the Artica AECV8555W is a truly compact freezer that fits into spaces where a conventional freezer would not. Its height of 85 cm makes it particularly practical, as it can be placed under countertops or in spaces with limited height.

This compact size does not mean sacrificing capacity: the 88 liters offer more than enough space to store frozen goods for a small to medium-sized family, or to supplement the capacity of the main refrigerator's freezer. It is the perfect solution for small kitchens, apartments, second homes, offices, or pantries.

Dimensions and technical specifications

• Height: 85 cm
• Width: 55.3 cm
• Depth: 57.4 cm
• Net capacity: 88 liters
• Number of drawers: 3 transparent drawers
• Hinge: Right (door opens to the right)
• Color: White
• Approximate weight: Lightweight and manageable

Energy Class E: Controlled Consumption

The Artica AECV8555W freezer has an energy rating of E according to the new European energy label, with an estimated annual consumption of 164 kWh. This translates to an approximate electricity cost of about 50 euros per year (calculated at 0.30 euros/kWh), a very reasonable expense for having additional freezing capacity available 24 hours a day.

It is important to understand that the new European energy label (in force since March 2021) is more demanding than the previous one. A current Class E would be approximately equivalent to an A+ or A++ in the old classification system. Therefore, this freezer maintains a reasonable level of energy efficiency within the new, stricter standards.

Consumption and energy efficiency

• Energy class: E (new European label)
• Annual consumption: 164 kWh/year
• Approximate annual cost: About €50/year (at €0.30/kWh)
• Daily consumption: Approximately 0.45 kWh/day
• Efficiency: Controlled consumption for a freezer of these characteristics

Extra Quiet Operation: Only 39 dB

One of the most notable features of the Artica AECV8555W is its extraordinarily quiet operation, with a noise level of just 39 decibels. To put this into perspective, 39 dB is comparable to the sound of a quiet library or a whispered conversation. You will barely notice that the freezer is running.

This low noise level is especially important if the freezer will be located in the kitchen, near the living room, or in spaces where you spend time. It will not interfere with conversations, will not bother you while cooking, and will not generate annoying background noise. This is a feature that is especially appreciated in small homes or apartments where spaces are more integrated.

15-Hour Autonomy During Power Outages

The Artica AECV8555W freezer offers an autonomy of up to 15 hours in the event of a power outage. This means that if the power goes out, the freezer will maintain the freezing temperature for 15 hours without external power, protecting your frozen food.

This autonomy is possible thanks to the freezer's good thermal insulation and the efficient design of its walls. During a power outage, it is important to keep the door closed to maximize this autonomy. In practice, 15 hours is more than enough time for power to be restored in most situations, protecting your investment in frozen food.

Right Hinge: Installation Considerations

The Artica AECV8555W freezer comes with the hinge located on the right, meaning the door opens to the right. It is important to consider this when planning the freezer's location, ensuring there is sufficient space to the right for the door to fully open and for comfortable access to the drawers.

Before purchasing, measure the available space and verify that the right-hand opening is compatible with your layout. Leave at least 5-10 cm of clear space around the freezer to allow for proper ventilation of the refrigeration system, which ensures efficient operation and extends the appliance's lifespan.
