I really like my new garage-ready freezer. Lighting is superb; 17 cf plenty room for my freezer requirements. It is sleek looking and fits just right. I also like that there are two big drawers at the bottom that are plastic, just like in the fridge, instead of one big wire-type drawer that things can fall through, and can be difficult to maneuver. The smaller drawer near the top is excellent too.

    Perfect purchase!
    It's beautiful, there's so much room. There are drawers and shelves and little cubbies in the door to hold everything. I'll finally be able to find what I'm looking for without letting cold air out for 5 minutes. I have to save on my energy bill for that reason alone.

        Top shelf is too close to the second shelf.
        The space between the top shelf and the second shelf with the slide out drawer is only 5 inches making the second shelf pretty much useless. The bottom bins are divided so there are two bins.. I would’ve rather had one bin with a sliding divider in it. The bottom bins are very deep. I would’ve rather had them not quite so deep and use that space between the top shelf and the second shelf. The seal around the door is quite tight, which is nice until you go to open it. When you pull on the handle to open the door, it tends to pull the freezer out from the wall.

          Seems solid
          Just got it but great so far! I like the outer temp display and warning systems.

            Exactly as Advertised - and the Quickest Delivery
            Our 14yo Upright Frost-Free 21cuft Freezer was dying.. ice cream was mushy. I checked all the simple things (power, door gasket, etc.).. It needed replaced. I checked everywhere for an Upright 21CuFt Freezer that could deliver ASAP... and Home Depot was not only the lowest price for this freezer.. but was three weeks quicker than the nearest delivery date for our area. Home Depot said they could install within two days of the order. WOW. Dago and Manuel were AMAZING installers. THANK YOU.

                    Just what I wanted
                    I have only had the freezer for a month but it is just what I wanted. Plenty of space for freezing all the things that didn't fit into the refrigerator freezer.

                            Shelves bend under any kind of load
                            We bought this freezer due to the display control panel being on the outside and the size. Very disappointed in shelving. First it only has 4 shelves that do not allow much to be stored on them without adding tall plastic containers. More importantly the glass shelves bow under any kind of load. We added 37 pounds of beef to one shelf and it bows so much the drawer is close to not opening. GE claims in other reviews that the shelf can hold 75 pounds. I think it would break at 75 lbs.

                            We regret that you're not happy with your freezer's shelving, and we know this may be concerning. The weight limit for the shelves is approximately 75 lbs. on the upper shelves and 100 lbs. on the lowest shelf. We do expect some bowing or flexing of the glass shelves to occur when they're loaded with food. That is considered normal. If you have an issue with the drawer as a result, you're welcome to reach out over our GE Appliances social media (such as Instagram or Facebook) with a copy of this review and a picture of the issue. We'd be glad to review further. GE_Appliances

                                    Easy to use and set up. So far so good. Very excited and fortunate to be able to take advantage of this freezer to store up food. The light inside is very bright awesome features including the alarms when door is left open and when temp goes high. Energy efficient what else can you ask for I do wish instead of glass on the shelves they would have been metal or stainless steel shelves. Although I don’t know how sturdy the glass shelves are they do feel study. Overall I recommend this freezer.

                                        faulty lock
                                        Very nice Freezer that keeps things frozen like it should but my only complaint would be that if you expect the lock to keep people out forget about it as I locked the door and later when I went to open it I gave it a tug cause with the nice seal you have to use a little force to open this freezer and the whole plastic lock part on the inside of the freezer came out of the casing of the inside of the freezer thereby making the lock useless and G. E. will not replace or fix this problem they say I broke it and I say it's a faulty design. Shame on G.E. for not backing up their products what good is a lock when just a little tug renders the lock useless. I bought this freezer to keep the kids out of it but I guess G.E. cannot make a reliable strong locking system in their freezers anymore.

                                            Freezer is just what I was looking for. It is sturdy, stylish and quiet. Plenty of storage space for a range of freezer goods. Bought mostly to stock up on meat but is versatile enough to keep our everyday items.

                                                  Freezes well; very tight door
                                                  Pro: freezes well Cons: freezer door is very hard to open even the first time (after you open the door the first time, you have to wait about 15 secs before trying to open again). I fixed this for my mother by placing door stops under the front to stop it from rolling forward (wheels do not lock) and added a suction cup bathroom grab handle to the side so she could brace it in place when opening. Now she can open it without the whole unit rolling forward.

                                                  Hello - We're glad to hear that you're satisfied with the performance from your freezer. We understand your concern about the freezer door. When the freezer door is opened, warm air rushes in-side. When you close the door, all of the warm air rushes to the evaporator which creates a vacuum. This will cause the door to be hard to open for about 10 to 15 seconds after closing. Should you find it difficult to open the door or lid to your freezer, rub paraffin wax on the hinge side of the door. Paraffin wax is used for canning purposes and can be purchased at most grocery stores. Petroleum jelly can also be used. Thank you for being part of the GE Appliances family. Warm regards. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances
