Really like the chest freezer, especially the baskets. I wish there were a few more baskets, or additional baskets could purchased. We keep it in our garage and haven’t had it long enough to see how it does through a Georgia summer.

Hi - We are awfully sorry that your freezer isn't cold enough, the basket tracks broke and that it is hard to lock. We do encourage you to take advantage of your one-year warranty with us by calling our GE Consumer Service at 1-800-432-2737. One of our great servicemen would be glad to get your freezer working as it should and fix the basket track and investigate why the unit is hard to lock. Come to us on social media or our GE Appliances website if you have additional questions. Best regards. -Kacie@GEA GE_Appliances

    Compressor out at 3 years
    Ours, the compressor went out at 3 years! It is not cost effective to replace! Since GE sold out to a China company the products have gone down hill. Will not be buying GE anymore.

      Don't walk, run... and buy this freezer!
      I absolutely LOVE this freezer! What took you so long to build one with removable and sliding baskets?! I no longer lose any items into the deep abyss of the bottom of the freezer.

        Horrible
        Installed freezer, in 7 months the compressor went out. GE ordered parts. Parts are back ordered. 500 lbs of meat stored with everyone I know. It's been over two months and still no parts for repairs. The parts are taking longer than the freezer lasted.

          This baby is awesome! It was a bit of a challenge to get it into place, but once we did, everything was great! It fits the space well and keeps everything at a really nice temp.

          Great freezer for Michigan garage!!
          I love our freezer! It’s got plenty of room - half of beef, whole hog, many extras too. Easy to reach items, light in the lid is a nice feature. Love the power outage alarm just wish it was louder or had Wi-Fi capabilities. Can’t hear it in my garage from inside. I also wish it came with more baskets and that they were a little more space friendly aka fit snugger leaving less open space.

            If you need lots of freezer storage
            The double row of sliding baskets (4) makes this freezer so easy to organize. No more digging through frozen food.

              GE FREEZER CHEST TYPE GARAGE READY
              Purchased on Nov 8, 2021, compressor went out on Nov 24, 2022. So it worked well for a year and some change. Compressor went out, with 450 lbs of beef in freezer. Not a good situation. Just figured it would last longer. I purchased service plan, and submitting claim now, will see how it turns out.
