Overview
WESTLAKE's WK-BD355 is a 12 cu ft commercial chest freezer with a lockable top-opening lid, a removable storage basket, and a mechanical thermostat that can switch the unit between freezer and refrigerator temperatures. It targets restaurants, garages, stores, and homes needing manual-defrost cold storage.
The standout feature here is the convertible thermostat: a back-mounted mechanical controller lets you run the cabinet as either a freezer or a refrigerator, with a safeguard built in against accidentally resetting it too far. Coverage is manual defrost only, so plan for periodic upkeep.
- 12 cu ft top-load capacity, ETL listed
- DOE and Energy Star certified
- Lockable lid with removable storage basket
- Switchable freezer-to-refrigerator thermostat
Who it's for
Restaurants, churches, schools, food trucks, and home garages that need bulk cold storage in a lockable cabinet. Not suited to anyone wanting frost-free or upright organization.
Pros and cons
- Lid lock deters access in shared or commercial spaces
- Removable basket keeps small items within reach
- Thermostat can convert it to refrigerator use
- 6-year compressor warranty, 2-year parts and labor
- Manual defrost needs periodic clearing
- Top-load design means digging for items at the bottom
Performance notes
A wrap-around cooling system paired with the compressor is meant to bring even freezing across the cabinet. Because defrost is manual, frost will build up over time; a built-in drain is provided to speed up clearing it. The rear thermostat governs whether the unit runs at freezer or refrigerator range.
