Haier 301L Digital Inverter Chest Freezer with 150-Hour Frost Stay, HCF-368KG

The Haier HCF-368KG is a 301-litre digital inverter chest freezer built around one standout feature for South African households: it holds sub-zero temperatures for up to 150 hours — a little over six days — after a power cut, with no generator or backup battery required. That’s high-density foam insulation doing the work, not a gimmick.

A digital inverter compressor adjusts its speed to match demand instead of cycling on and off at one fixed speed, cutting running costs by up to 50% compared to a standard fixed-speed compressor over time. It also means quieter, steadier operation day to day — no jarring compressor kick-in every few minutes.

A fridge/freezer convertible switch lets you flip the unit’s function with the mechanical control dial — useful if you need extra fridge space temporarily, for a party or a bulk grocery run, without buying a second appliance. Inside, two removable storage baskets and a separation board keep frequently-used items accessible instead of buried at the bottom, and the outside condenser design keeps the cabinet running cool to the touch.

Practical touches carry through to the outside: a lockable lid with key, four castor wheels for repositioning a full chest freezer without a struggle, a large external handle, and a counter-balanced hinge that holds the lid open at any angle between 30° and 81° instead of slamming shut on your arm.

At 1110mm wide, 620mm deep and 843mm tall, measure your doorway and the space it’s going into before delivery day — a full chest freezer this size is a two-person move. Order now and enjoy free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this freezer keep food frozen during load shedding or a power outage?

Up to 150 hours — just over 6 days — thanks to Haier’s high-density foam insulation, provided the lid stays closed as much as possible during the outage. A fuller chest freezer holds cold longer than a half-empty one, since the frozen contents themselves act as thermal mass, so keeping it well-stocked improves on that figure rather than working against it.

Can this freezer also be used as a fridge?

Yes. A mechanical convertible switch lets you run it in fridge mode instead of freezer mode, which is useful for short-term extra chilled storage — over the festive season, for a party, or after a bulk grocery run — without needing to buy a separate appliance. It’s a manual dial rather than multiple programmed settings, so switching back to freezer mode is a simple twist of the same control.

Does Daily Discounts deliver this freezer nationwide, and what’s the warranty?

Yes, we deliver nationwide via courier, typically within 3 to 5 working days of order confirmation. The compressor is covered by a 10-year warranty. Confirm the general appliance warranty term with us before purchase, since compressor and unit cover are usually different periods. At 1110mm wide and 843mm tall when full, plan for a two-person lift on delivery day.
