Customer Reviews for GE Garage Ready 5.0 cu. ft. Manual Defrost Chest Freezer in White

This chest freezer is perfect for our limited garage space, expanding or frozen food storafe without impactung our space too badly. Efficiency is good for its size and the defrost ports simplify the occassional defrosting and cleaning. For those with limited space I highly recommend this model.

Delivered on time, put A bucket of cold water in bottom to represent a load, plugged in , 6 hours later half frozen Next In Morning a bucket of ice (solid as a brick )

Installed today. Arrived without any problems. Cooled very quickly. If it’s as good as all our GE products we’ll be very happy

Very good product.. highly recommend. Not too big not too small.

I would recommend this chest freezer, you will love it

Back cover missing along with associated mounting screws where power cord exits compressor compartment. Also, one compressor mounting bolt lying loose inside near its respective mounting location.

I already have other GE appliances, they are one of the best in the market. This one is very specious, But my sister has same deep freezer for 6 years and still working like the first day. 

Needed a little more room for frozen goods. This is perfect for our needs and ideal size for our garage.

We've had the freezer for one week and all is well. The 5cu is the perfect size and actually holds much more than I thought it would. Also, it's small enough to be tucked into corner nook in our kitchen.

Awesome freezer. It is small and compact but spacious inside. Great for a retired couple like us. Great for small family or especially retired folks.

I've been using it for a week and here's my impression: Pros: - Good size for us. We needed just a little more extra space for frozen food and this was ideal. Much deeper than I was thinking; I can barely touch the bottom. - It's quiet. We installed it inside next to our kitchen and we've never been annoyed by the noise. Cons: - Gasket is not very airtight. As a result, ice is already building up as you can see in the picture. Not a big problem but not ideal either. - Didn't come with the cover on the back. I asked the delivery person and he told me that he believes there's no cover. - Not very energy efficient according to the energyguide doc.

The product is excellent. It accents my kitchen and it runs so silently I don’t even know it is running.

Having lived in my house for over 25 years, I can't believe I waited so long to invest in a small chest type freezer when they are so affordable! But, after careful, consideration I chose the GE 5.0 as the best option. I do have other GE products in my kitchen, and have always, believed strongly in the quality and workmanship or GE products as a whole. So far the GW freezer has worked perfectly. After initially unboxing and installing, it took < 3 hours to cool below freezing, so I could transfer from the freezer of my kitchen refrigerator., so far backing the thermostat off to the middle position, it is still maintaining a chill 0 degrees. It will definitely help in buying more freezer items, so that is a plus as well, I want to buy a second top-level basket, just having a difficult time finding the OEM basket for the freezer, a lot of knockoffs but not an original GE OEM basket. Other than that I am totally satisfied with the GE freezer. You won't go wrong purchasing this freezer! I have it in my mud-room off the front hallway that is also connected to the garage and front hallway where my computer server, security system, and Water heater closet is located.

I am so excited to have my new chest freezer to help keep my meats until I need to eat them. The chest is roomy, spacious yet compact. I am grateful!!!

I love my new little freezer. Garage ready, which is important here in AZ. Perfect fit for the space and for my needs.

Really pleased with the size and how quite this freezer runs!!

I received this item last week and noticed there is no panel cover at the back. Is this normal? Or am I missing a part? There are predrilled holes but no cover.

I love this freezer. Although I wanted a larger freezer, this one is just perfect for my apartment. The moment the delivery guys brought it into my home I was excited.

The freezer is a nice size if you don’t have a lot of room. It doesn’t take a lot of power and it can be in your garage. Some freezers cannot. If you have a bit more room go for 7 cu ft. We didn’t do this was perfect for us

Excelente

The freezer is the perfect size for two people. We've now owned the freezer for about 2 weeks. It will definitely help out during this pandemic and we are very happy we bought it. The freezer toll almost 3 weeks to be delivered and the delivery men did a great job. It immediately started getting cold and it is maintaining the temp at approximately -10F. The only downside is that once full you sometimes need to empty it out a bit to get to the things stored at the bottom but that is really not much of a problem. Seems well made and very quiet. All in all, a great buy.

You can tell this is a well built freezer. The freezer temperature dial is set half way to coldest setting and it keeps things colder than my refrigerator freezer. The popsicles are so cold they stick to your tongue if you don’t let them sit a minute. The unit is also surprisingly quit especially compared to my refrigerator. You can barely hear it running other than a faint hum. I feel like it was definitely worth the price. The only con is with the depth. You have to pile and stack stuff on top of each other but that’s the problem with all of the chest freezers. At least they give you a little basket to put smaller items in.

This is really nice chest freezer and the perfect size for an apartment. Holds a lot of food and it's deeper than I expected, I have to get on my toes to reach the bottom! I'm completely satisfied.

This is the perfect size chest freezer for a small home. We use it primarily for overflow items from our upstairs kitchen refrigerator/freezer. It works well and is quiet.

I love my chest freezer. So far, so good. It freezes well, & the size of the unit was perfect for my space, & use.

Just the right size

Love it

I love this freezer. It’s the perfect size. I didn’t need a big one, but needed more than my refrigerator/freezer. I was excited from the minute the delivery men took it off the truck!

I've inky had it about 3 weeks, but It is just as described on the home depot website. It serves the purpose I need it for and the size and capacity are perfect.
