Rest, assured, I will update this review when I have had it more than the four days (14 days now, still good) we have had it. - undamaged upon delivery. Maybe they responded to reviewers complaints, because it came very thoroughly cosseted in styrofoam. Since I am the big eater in our household, I am always crowding my wife’s stuff into a corner of the refrigerator's freezer compartment. She can’t find the ice cream or chicken fettuccine or whatever, covered as it is by hotdogs, bacon, and tubs of homemade spaghetti sauce. This will solve the problem, I think. We shall see. - I Just let it sit as advised for the first 11 hours with power off to let any fluids settle. - Turned it on and set it to the “medium“ number of four as recommended to start. - very quiet indeed. If you’re hearing isn’t that good, you know the compressor is on because the green light on the front goes on. - Working temperature is supposed to be reached within 24 hours. The walls were freezing within three hours. this was at an external temperature of 64° F. I worry that the insulation might be somewhat insufficient. I am tempted to wrap it an extra insulation, but that could cover the heat exchange coils and defeat their purpose.I have settled by throughing a couple of heavy foam pads atop the lid. It seems to be efficient enough as it is. It has stayed near 3.5 F ° for days now at a setting one number warmer than medium. As I said, I will jump right on it with an update if there are any problems. Reading the reviews– it seems that reliability can be a problem in a somewhat random way. I am hoping that I am one of the satisfied customers. p.s. I didn’t tell my wife that I purchased it. It’s stashed in a corner of the garage (we live in a mild climate) and so far she hasn’t even noticed it. It’s that inconspicuous.

This is a top-load freezer, which helps keep the appliance cold when the door is opened. It comes with two optional hanging baskets. If you use both, you will find that you have to constantly remove one to get to the items below. A minor inconvenience, as far as I am concerned. Freezer stays cold. A digital readout of the internal temperature would be nice. The temperature control is a simple dial. It is trial and error. I started on the coldest setting, and one day later I am at the half-way mark - still ice cold. Freezer has a front drain for defrost and thaw. For the money, a pretty good deal in my opinion. One odd detail: because of the compressor location on the right side of the freezer, the appliance plug is situated towards the front of the right side (as you view the appliance). If your outlet is to the left and/or rear, you might find the cord being a bit short. Just a heads-up. Freezer was deliver undamaged and was working within 5 minutes!

I was blown away by how huge this was in comparison to what I measured before it arrived. The product came on time, new, clean, and wrapped to perfection. The temperature gage worked very quickly, cooling down the unit to freezing before I knew it. Happy with my purchase!!

Very spacious and with the 4 baskets, I have some options rather than just piling the food in the bottom. I think they could come up with a lower level sliding tray or basket, which would make for more options, but probably at a higher cost. In hindsight, I should have shopped local (Lowe's), as I found a similar chest freezer for about $200 less. Might have been a crappy brand/model, so I'm not too upset. I like the temperature control feature, as it's outside and not inside like some older models. It sure would have been nice to have an external temperature gauge, like maybe on top of the lid, possibly on one of the sides?? From reading the guide, if I want 0 degrees F, then the temp knob goes to 4 or 5, or in between, I'll figure it out once I get a freezer thermometer for it. I'm looking forward to using this and already moved all the freezer packs we've seemed to collect over the years into this. If nothing else, will free up space in the freezer in the house (Installed this chest freezer in the garage). I was a little annoyed that I couldn't elevate the install by using bricks, but the bottom of the chest just wasn't set up in a way that I could do that, nor did I see a way to mount any wheels or "feet", as it already has a couple of rubber "feet" on one end. I did have to shim one corner to stabilize it, but it wasn't terrible and it sits pretty steady on the concrete floor. My garage is detached from the house but I have power to the garage, so standard house plug in electrical is available. My only somewhat concern is during hot summers, the inside of the garage CAN get pretty hot, and on the flip side, during very cold winters it can get quite chilly; will have to see how it goes, but I think it will be fine. I had a smaller fridge/freezer (Bottom/top) in upstate NY back in 2002 and a couple of winters got down to BELOW -30 for a couple of weeks straight - anything left in the door position got frozen (Was installed in attached garage, which was unheated). I still have this fridge/freezer today in NC, but about a year ago or so, the freezer pretty much quit, even though the fridge still functions. I should be happy I got that many years out of an el-cheapo fridge brand.

This is great! Small…for the room I had. Love this.

Me gusta este congelador es muy práctico y funciona al 100

We are in an RV and our freezer is very small. 9 years with a small freezer..THIS FREEZER IS HUGE!!!! Works really well..just Hopeing it's not too$$$$$$ to run we've only had it on 5 days..you should see my list of frozen food of ANYTHING!!🤣😂😅

This has been a reliable freezer and it is quiet. Have been using for a few months now. Only criticism is that the freezer baskets are not deep enough to be very effective. Had they been 3 or 4 inches deeper they could have been more useful holding frozen dinners. However the rest of the freezer is fine.
