1 Will work in a garage at lower outdoor temperatures

I purchased this freezer in January 2021. Seemed like a great freezer at first. It was just what we were looking for to replace our very old freezer. A month or so after our purchase, the alarm light would come on indicating some sort of failure. Items on the top rack would start to thaw. We would unplug it and after plugging in back it the alarm would stop and we seemed to be okay again. This started to occur every couple of days. We had a repair tech come out and said the blower motor was bad but the part needed to come from the factory, so no parts were readily available. It has been almost three weeks and we are still waiting on parts to come in. So, it looks good and is nice when working, but right now it is just taking up space in the garage waiting to be repaired.

5 Great Features

Great product. Had a chest freezer that went out and we replaced it with this upright. Takes up less floor space and easier to access the food items.

5 Just what I needed

Bought this for the garage and works perfectly for an extra freezer. Just wish it had an extra shelf.

5 Great quality at a great price

I bought this freezer to replace the crowded chest freezer we had, and it really does the job! We love that we can find everything so easily, and the frost-free feature is great.

5 Perfect so far

This is our first standalone freezer, and my wife really appreciates being able to take advantage of sales. It's really roomy and works perfectly. The Home Depot delivery company were courteous and put it exactly where we wanted it. Of course the big unknown after only a month is longevity; ask me again in fifteen years!_x000D_ _x000D_ The reversible door is a good feature for us to have easy access in our chosen spot. Some previous reviewers had problems with door sealing after reversing the door direction. I found the procedure to be straightforward, but did encounter three "gotchas" that weren't covered in the instructions, any one of which could potentially affect sealing. I'll describe them here to help you avoid trouble if you want to reverse the door, and also so that if this factors into your buying decision, you can have confidence that this freezer will work perfectly well after reversing the door. These are just additional tips so I won't repeat the manufacturer's instructions. If you haven't bought it yet you can see the manual online._x000D_ First, there is a little white spacer on the bottom hinge pin. I didn't notice it until it fell into the freezer. If you reinstall the door without this spacer the door will be sitting about 3/16" too low, which may not seal right._x000D_ Second, when I went to install the bottom hinge on the left side of the freezer cabinet, it wouldn't sit flush. There was a small round head sheet metal screw in the way. A quick check of the right side where the hinge was originally revealed that the corresponding screw on that corner had been removed prior to installing the hinge. Remove the screw from the left, install on the right, good to go._x000D_ Third, after you stand the unit back up and place the door on the lower hinge pin, there is enough grip from the magnetic door seal to keep it from falling off while you install the top hinge, but not enough to keep the door properly aligned. It tends to sag down and to the right. The screw holes in the hinge have enough clearance to allow the hinge to rotate to the right as well. The problem this causes is that since the hinge pin is to the far left, if the hinge rotates then the pin will be too far from the body, increasing the door gap beyond what the seal can bridge. So it is important to support the door and make sure the hinge is exactly square with the freezer body when tightening the screws._x000D_ _x000D_ Follow these tips and your door should fit just as well reversed as it did from the factory. Enjoy!
