In detail: Candy CNUQ2L513EW Upright Freezer 169L
Candy's CNUQ2L513EW is a compact 169-litre upright freezer, designed as a secondary unit alongside a main freezer, in a garage, cellar or unheated utility room.
Its standout feature is the ability to keep working in an unheated room down to -15°C, something few entry-level freezers offer, particularly useful for installation outside the kitchen. LowFrost technology reduces frost buildup compared with a fully static system, without eliminating it entirely.
Storage is organised around 4 transparent drawers and 1 glass shelf, making it easy to find frozen food without rummaging. Temperature control stays mechanical via a dial, a simple approach that limits electronic components prone to failure. The reversible door makes installation easier depending on room layout.
The Candy CNUQ2L513EW suits anyone after a compact, affordable secondary freezer capable of working in an unheated room, without the advanced features of pricier models.

Our tester's verdict: Pierre Freysinger
Set up in an unheated garage alongside the kitchen freezer, the CNUQ2L513EW lives up to its promise of working even in cold weather, something many standard freezers can't guarantee. Mechanical control works without surprise, with a simple dial that limits the risk of electronic failure over time. The 4 transparent drawers make it easy to see what's inside without pulling everything out. LowFrost technology limits frost buildup, but occasional defrosting is still needed once or twice a year, less often than a fully static model. Noise at 38 dB stays discreet for use in a garage or utility room. On an entry-level budget, this compact freezer does its job effectively as a secondary unit.
