Switch Between Fridge and Freezer at the Touch of a Button

The Husky Solid Door Hybrid Chest Fridge & Freezer runs as either a fridge or a freezer and switches between the two from the digital controller. Choose the 198L for a compact footprint or the 295L for bulk storage on lockable wheels. Both have a solid white steel cabinet, natural R600a cooling and Husky’s 3 Year Warranty.

Why You’ll Love This

Fridge or Freezer, Your Choice

Hybrid cooling takes the cabinet from −24°C to +10°C. Run it as a freezer through summer, switch it to a drinks fridge for a party, then back again, all from the digital controller.

Digital Control and High-Temperature Alarm

Set the temperature on the digital display and leave it. The high-temperature alarm warns you if the lid is left ajar or the cabinet warms, so a full load does not spoil unnoticed.

Two Sizes, One Cabinet

The 198L is 831 mm wide and easy to place; the 295L holds more and rolls on lockable wheels. Both share the solid white door, interior light and removable storage basket.

Natural R600a Cooling

R600a refrigerant and a simple manual defrost keep running costs and maintenance low. The fast freeze function drops the temperature quickly when you load it up.

Hybrid Cooling, −24°C to +10°C

One cabinet covers both freezing and refrigeration. Switch modes as the season or the occasion changes, without buying and running a second appliance.

Removable Storage Basket

A full-width basket keeps smaller items within reach and lifts out completely for cleaning or to free up the full depth for bulk loads.

Digital Display and Interior Light

A clear digital readout shows the set temperature, and the interior light makes it easy to find what you need in a deep cabinet.

Fast Freeze Function

Drop the temperature quickly to lock in a fresh load of meat, produce or a big shop before it loses condition.

Lockable Wheels on the 295L

The 295L rolls on castors that lock once it is in position, so you can move it to clean behind it or reposition it without lifting. The 198L is a compact fixed-base unit.

Solid White Steel Cabinet

A wipe-clean white finish suits kitchens, garages, utility rooms and laundries, and the solid door holds temperature well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it be used as both a fridge and a freezer?

Yes. The hybrid cooling switches the whole cabinet between fridge and freezer modes from the digital controller, anywhere from −24°C to +10°C. It runs as one or the other, not both at the same time.

What is the difference between the 198L and the 295L?

The 198L is more compact at 831 mm wide and 820 mm high, and lighter to handle. The 295L holds more, stands 1,115 mm tall and rolls on lockable wheels. Both are white, solid-door and share the same controls and removable basket.

Can it go in a garage?

Yes. It is rated for warmer rooms (climate class T) so it suits kitchens, garages, sheds and laundries. It is a home appliance rather than a weather-sealed outdoor unit, so keep it under cover and out of direct rain and sun.

How much power does it use?

The 198L is rated at 108 kWh per year in fridge mode and 255 kWh per year in freezer mode. The 295L is rated at 319 kWh per year in freezer mode. Both use natural R600a refrigerant.
