Great little freezer! Gave me the extra space I needed without taking up much room. Was easy to flip the door to open with hinges on the left, and it’s very very quiet. Temp control seems fine. Note- follow the instructions! Let it remain upright for at least 4 hours after unpacking before you plug it in.

It works perfect for our needs as an overflow for our main freezer. When we fist got it I thought it was too small but it is actually deeper and holds more than expected. Happy so far.

It is easily accessable with slide out basket on bottom. Just the right size to relieve crowding in our refrigerator freezer.

The freezer is big enough to meet my expectations and at the same time does not take up a lot of floor space. It is easily accessible and just blends with the other furniture. I am very pleased. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great little freezer. Cooled down very quickly. Great value for the money. Just one note: Set the temp before you slide it up against the wall. The temp control is behind the unit on the bottom. Very quiet operation.

It’s a pretty good freezer for being a small freezer. It can fit a decent amount of food in it. My only complaint is the door is a little difficult to open, and sticks from time to time.

Works great. Has a dent on the side but it’s more of a hassle to return and replace. We like t th he size and comes in handy for special buys from the grocery store.

Having owned this for only a month, there really isn't much I can say other than to note that I have not had any issues with this freezer. I don't have any sort of power meter to measure it's consumption and so I cannot comment on that, either.

The Whynter Freezer is exactly what I hoped for. We've had the freezer for almost a month now. Per instructions, set it up indoors (in a bedroom closet allowing for clearances). It is super quiet. Zero frost to date. Perfect for garden fruits and to allow us to stock up on sale foods. Price was great and shipping was included - an excellent buy!

Why do freezer manufactures consider noise okay and normal? Why can't consumers expect to buy a QUIET small freezer? Normal sounds: Rattling, High-Pitched (whine), Fan noise, Gurgling,..... From the owner's manual: NORMAL SOUNDS .......Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, ........ The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. Noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal function. It is normal for the fan in the power supply to run all the time. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your upright freezer. The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158 -194°F when running.

Response from Whynter Customer ServiceJul 31, 2019
Hi Alex,

We are sorry but compressors and refrigeration systems do make noise. The smaller the unit the more magnified it can sometimes be. Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com should you have any questions or concerns. Whynter
