So far so good! Holds alot more than I thought, which is great. Very quiet. Loved that there's a light inside. Took away one star because they never seem to have black in stock so I just went with white.

So far so good. I let the freezer sit for a few days before turning it on. It held zero 0° for a few days after I turned it on. I filled it up with all of our extra meats and goodies. Still holding 0°!!! The lid stays open for easy access. And the light is an added bonus. Delivery was prompt and very professional. It was a heck of a deal, too good to pass up.

The item is properly boxed with thick paper and pallet - the freezer arrived unscratched. Waited for 4hrs before powering it up and work seamlessly since then. The temperature inside the freezer is uniform (check via infrared thermometer) regularly in the first 2 days. I have this for 2-weeks+ now and placed it in my garage. Temperature setting is at '3/4' with freezer almost 90% full. The freezer emitted very low sound (almost quiet) during operation - which is a plus.

Exactly what I needed. The price is $10 higher than the same size at the other home improvement store and I would have saved the 10 bucks , if they had it in stock , but I'm really glad that it worked out this way because when I plugged it in and I realized that your model has a light built in the lid. This is worth way more than $10. You need a light to see down in a chest freezer.

I purchased this at my local Home Depot, which required me to wait 45 minutes for someone to come with the forklift to get it down from the warehouse shelf. I then loaded it into my SUV, hauled it down to my basement, unboxed it and there was a large dent on the bottom left side of the unit (see pic). The packing on this freezer is not great so it is no surprise that it somehow got dented during shipping. Normally, I would have immediately returned it but given the major hassle and time involved in simply getting this thing home I decided to just live with the dent. While the dent does annoy me greatly, and I took a star off for this reason, the freezer works as expected. I love the LED light, which is actually the reason I purchased this one over other similar models.

    Lasted almost a year
    Stopped working after about a year of use indoors with plenty of room to “breath”. Not sure why it just stopped cooling/freezing. Compressor? electric board? Something else? Lost all food in it, very disappointing. Light still operates and looks to be on and running but it’s not.

      Really love this freezer. Just the size. Stores the food that I can't get into my Refrigerator French Door, Snack draws. Also fits perfectly doesn't take up much space. Like Magic Chef. I bought Magic Chef many years ago for appliances. Didn't realize they still made them.

      I picked it up same day and hauled it into the house. It was cool at 3 hours to start putting frozen items in it. Runs perfectly and just the right size.
