Choose a tabletop freezer if you have room for modest portions of chopped herbs but little space for the appliance. Make room for an under-counter model if you regularly freeze larger batches or other foods and need separate storage; it requires a dedicated floor position. Check the installed dimensions, door swing, interior layout and ventilation instructions before ordering.
If you mainly freeze small portions of chopped herbs, the appliance footprint and the way its door opens may matter more than extra capacity. IceKing describes its TT35EW as a 33 L tabletop model with a reversible door.
If herbs share freezer space with prepared meals or other food, drawers can make portions easier to separate. Hoover lists four drawers and 90 L of capacity for its under-counter HONUQ2L58EWK.
Where other people need the worktop and surrounding floor space, check the door-opening route and usable interior as well as the appliance dimensions. Consider the stated noise level if the kitchen opens onto a shared living or working area.
Choose when: A worktop or tight kitchen position is available and you mainly need space for modest herb portions.
Trade-off: The examined 33 L and 38 L models offer less room to separate herbs from other food than a drawer freezer; IceKing specifies manual defrosting for the TT35EW.
Choose when: Herbs are part of a larger freezing routine and you have a dedicated position for the appliance.
Trade-off: Hoover lists four drawers and 90 L for the HONUQ2L58EWK, but its 85 cm height and 57 cm depth make it unsuitable as a worktop substitute.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Placement and fit | Measure the installed height, width and depth, including ventilation space; check the door-opening route. | If the worktop is my only practical position, I need the freezer and its open door to fit without obstructing the kitchen. Around 42% of consumers put placement first. |
| Storage layout | Check usable capacity and whether shelves or drawers accommodate the portions and containers you plan to use. | When herbs share space with prepared food, I want to keep portions separate and easy to find; around 33% of consumers make storage organisation their primary concern. |
| Energy use and noise | Compare annual kWh and the stated noise level for the exact models you are considering. | With the freezer running near where I spend time, I want to weigh electricity use and noise before choosing. These are the leading concern for around 25% of consumers. |
A reversible door helps only if there is room to open it after installation. The examined tabletop and under-counter models require different positions.
Measure the full appliance space and door route, then check the exact model manual for ventilation clearance.
IceKing lists one shelf for the TT35EW, while Hoover lists four drawers for the HONUQ2L58EWK. That distinction matters more if herbs will share space with other food.
Decide what else you intend to freeze and whether separate storage is important before choosing a format.
IceKing lists the TT35EW as class E at 148 kWh/year; Amica lists the FZ0413 as class F at 187 kWh/year. Capacity and dimensions differ too, so the figures do not settle which model fits your kitchen.
Compare the energy label and annual kWh for each exact model alongside its usable capacity and dimensions.
Electricity use continues throughout the time the freezer is running; its effect on your bill depends on your tariff and use.
A freezer rating does not change the date or handling instructions on pre-packed food. The Food Standards Agency says pre-packed food can be frozen up to its use-by date and should be consumed within 24 hours of defrosting.
Check the herb pack’s label before freezing and follow its storage and defrosting instructions.
The TT35EW is a tabletop option to consider when a narrow appliance position matters.
The FZ0413 is another tabletop format for buyers comparing usable space with appliance width.
The H-FREEZE 300 HONUQ2L58EWK is an under-counter option for storing herbs alongside larger amounts of frozen food.
These Joybuy choices include one tabletop freezer for modest herb portions and under-counter models for kitchens with a dedicated appliance position. Check each model’s fit and storage arrangement against what else you plan to freeze.

Consider this tabletop model when you mainly need room for modest herb portions. The title lists 31 L capacity and energy class E; check its external dimensions, ventilation clearance and annual energy use against your available space and priorities. Allow for the stated manual-defrost maintenance.
No image available
Consider this model if you freeze herbs alongside other food and have an under-counter position. Its title lists 85 L capacity, 55 cm width and energy class E. Measure the full installation space and door route, compare annual energy use, and allow for the stated manual-defrost maintenance.
No image available
Consider this under-counter model if keeping herb portions apart from other food is important. Its title lists energy class E. Confirm the exact net capacity before deciding, as the stated capacity differs between the title and description; also check installation space and allow for the stated manual-defrost maintenance.

Consider this model only if you have a dedicated position for an under-counter freezer. Its title lists energy class E, but the stated capacity, width and defrost type conflict across the product information. Confirm those specifications for the exact model before relying on them for fit or maintenance planning.
Compare the energy label, annual kWh and product information sheet for the exact model, alongside its capacity and dimensions. UK government guidance describes energy-information requirements for in-scope appliances; use the information displayed for the item and sales region rather than assuming that similar-looking models consume the same amount.
Yes, if the pack has a use-by date, the Food Standards Agency says pre-packed food can be frozen up to that date and should be consumed within 24 hours of defrosting. Check the particular pack’s handling instructions; not every herb product carries a use-by date.
Follow the manual for the exact appliance before first use. IceKing’s TT35EW manual says to leave that model standing for four hours; do not apply its waiting time to a different freezer without checking.
Check the exact model’s permitted ambient-temperature range and installation instructions before choosing an unheated location. Hoover describes its HONUQ2L58EWK under-counter model as suitable down to an ambient temperature of −15°C, but that statement does not apply to every freezer of that format.
