Manual defrost: Because it uses a defrost/drain system, the user will need to periodically defrost the unit (i.e. let it warm up, drain water, clean). This is typical for chest freezers of this class.
Insulation & retention: The claim of ~24 h cold retention means if the power goes out, the freezer will keep its contents sufficiently cold for about a day (depending on how full it is, ambient temperature, etc.). That said, “keep 0 °C for 135h” claims should be taken cautiously — likely idealized.
Temperature control: Mechanical thermostat means a dial or knob, not digital. Probably less precise, but simpler and more robust.
Fast freeze mode: Useful when you put a large amount of unfrozen or warm items in; helps protect existing frozen goods from warming too much.
Interior space & layout: With ~145 L net and a removable basket, you should have decent flexibility to store both bulky (meat, large cuts) and smaller packaged goods. The basket helps for frequent-use items.
Noise and energy: “Low noise” is a useful feature, meaning it’s probably suitable for residential / non-industrial usage, not overly loud compressor. Energy usage is lower than older models, but still non-zero; chest freezers are typically more energy-efficient per litre than upright ones, especially when well insulated.
