Perfect size
My small kitchen has a nook that only accommodates a small refrigerator with a top freezer. I wanted more freezer space and thought my only option was to put one in my garage. Then I saw this little gem! It is just right!

    Great little freezer!
    I bought this online and a few hours later it was delivered to my door. It had a small minor dent at the top but I'm not complaining. It's a great little freezer! The price made up for the minor cosmetic flaw. Worth the money. Magic chef is a good and reliable brand. Also, it has wheels for rolling on one side and pads on the other that are adjustable

      Light and easy to move, small footprint, lighted, 2 hanging baskets. Needed a little more freezer, could have bought a second refrigerator, but don’t really need one and they use 3 times the energy this freezer does.

          The first two that the store employees brought from the stock room were damaged, but third one was a charm! Works fine. Wish it had actual temperature dial instead of numbers 1-7 with no explanation of what those translate to into degrees. This can hold a little over 1800oz of frozen breast milk for anyone looking for that purpose.

          Perfect Size
          We buy frozen foods in bulk to minimize trips to the stores. This freezer is the perfect size for two people. Easy to set up and the small footprint fits easily in our kitchen.

            Very pleased with this purchase! I wasn’t sure that being a smaller freezer, that it would accommodate our inside freezer overflow, but 5.0 cf is much bigger than we thought! It has two baskets conveniently situated on top and you can still reach down between them to get to what’s below. Therefore it allows us to make fewer grocery runs or fewer online orders which results in comfortably stocking up for longer periods of time.

              Only reason for 4 stars because delivery was horrible with store. Otherwise, no complaints with actual chest freezer itself. Enough space to store foods.

              The Home Depot alone rating would be a five. One half of a hinge cover was missing. The piece was not in the box. Therefore, it was the manufacturer's issue. I sent Magic Chef a message via their website. They never responded. Hence, the four star rating.

                Nice size! Not to big not to small.
                I have been looking for a freezer since the beginning of summer. They were a little pricey for what I was looking for and today we found this one at a great price and nice size. We can’t complain.

                  Great Buy, Great Storage, Great Size & Features
                  At this price point this was the logical choice. It's full of features which include front handle with lock( To prevent children becoming entrapped in the sizeable freezer chest), Bright white LED to assist with viewing in the deep cavity with three organizing removable shelfs. I expect this to provide years of trouble free operation.

                    Exceeding expectations.
                    First, I was a bit apprehensive about having it shipped to home, but FedEx handled it just fine, crossing multiple state boundaries. Maybe I got lucky? Since the delivery guy kept it upright when delivering, I let it sit for 2 hours after setting it up at the final location. If you're not sure, the manual says to wait 4 hours to make sure refrigerant oil settles down. Immediately after setting it up, I was impressed with the build quality, with all the seams well aligned. I thought the unit would have a fan, but it doesn't. The heat output is dispersed to the four sides. Since the only moving part is the compressor, I'm expecting the unit to last a long time. 3.5 cu ft is one of the smallest sizes, but it's plenty for my use. At the middle setting (4), my SEEK camera is saying -17F at the coldest point. Actual temperature is likely a bit higher, but this is plenty cold. The four outside walls will go a bit past 100F when active.

                        I recent bought this deep freezer and I am impressed on how much frozen food I can fit in it. At first I was concerned thinking it was too small but it’s a great size for a good price

                          I purchased this freezer to keep my wild game in. I had intended to purchase the 7 cubit foot freezer, but this was the only one in stock. To be so small it has plenty of room, light weight (less than 60lbs), and the interior light is a plus. I intend to purchase another just like it.

                          Freezer cooled down fast and is very quiet when the motor is on. Interior light does not come on but the freezer is in a well lighted area and is not a problem to me.
