OBAC 290L Silver Chest Freezer – OBCF290

Stocking up in bulk for a big family, meal-prepping in batches, or running a small food business that needs real cold storage? The OBAC OBCF290 is a 290-litre chest freezer with genuine dual functionality — switch between freezer and fridge mode depending on the season or what you’re storing — giving you serious bulk capacity in one appliance.

With 287 litres of net capacity, there’s room for a genuinely large stock of meat, groceries, or garden produce, and an A+ energy rating keeps it affordable to run continuously even at this size. A removable wire storage basket keeps smaller, frequently-used items within easy reach at the top instead of buried under everything else, and a mechanical thermostat with a pilot light makes it simple to set the right temperature and confirm at a glance that it’s working.

A front-facing defrost drain plug makes manual defrosting and cleaning straightforward without tipping the whole unit, and an integrated lid lock with key keeps contents secure — useful for a shared garage, a small business, or a utility room. At 1090mm wide, this is a genuinely large appliance, so it’s worth measuring your doorway and intended spot before it arrives.

It’s a strong fit for a large family doing serious bulk buying, a small business needing commercial-grade cold storage, or anyone building a proper backup for load-shedding season. Backed by a 2-year warranty. At approximately 71kg, this is a genuine two-person delivery item — plan for help getting it into place. Order now and enjoy free delivery across South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the OBAC OBCF290 big enough for a small business or bulk household use?

Yes — at 287 litres net capacity, it’s built for genuinely large volumes: a big family’s bulk meat and grocery shop, batch meal-prepping, or small-scale commercial storage, rather than just topping up a kitchen freezer.

Will the dual freezer/fridge mode actually cool as well as a dedicated fridge?

The mechanical thermostat lets you set it into fridge-range or freezer-range temperatures, so it functions as either at a given time — not both simultaneously. It’s a genuine alternative to running a second appliance, not a marketing label, but it switches modes rather than running both at once.
