Great video, just bought and watched your review. I wondered about removing drawers for more storage, glad you covered that. Prior to watching your review I was going to return it but your video changed my mind. I think this will do the job, especially for $300, mainly just bought it to store my winter deer harvest. Thanks again for an informative and entertaining review.

Hello from California 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thank you for the wonderful review! I literally had a chest freezer in my Costco cart…but this stand freezer will be perfect for myself and my teenage son. I subscribed to your channel and set notifications. God Bless You and Have A Merry Christmas🎄🕊️🙏🏼

Thanks, great and helpful video. We just got one!

This was very helpful. Sick of all these Shorts & TikTok's on this freezer. Just snagged mine today for $299

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful!

Just got my freeze today and also in NC. Instructions also say two hours on setting 7 and then adjust, so, you are exactly right. Your reaction to the ice cube tray 😂 It looks like it’s for a toddler.

I am planning to buy this unit soon, it's $299 at my Costco as of Jan 13 2024, that's a great deal.A few thoughts: - My old chest freezer is 7.3 cu feet and it's much bigger than the one you had; bigger than the new one laid on its size; it has about a 12 sq ft footprint in my kitchen; this will give me a lot more floor space. - Having cooling elements on each level takes up space but explains why this will cool quickly and will maintain even temperature throughout the unit. - If you fill it with frozen food from the old freezer your new one will reach lower temps even quicker and keeping the freezer full means it will actually take less energy to keep things cold. It takes energy to freeze things but very little to keep them frozen as long as you don't have a lot of air coming and going from the unit. So I would have let it cool down for an hour or two and then transferred my contents. - The advantage of the drawers is when you open the freezer the air in them does not leave the unit to be replaced with room air that has to be cooled down again. Only the air in the drawer you open will be affected. And the more full the drawers the more stable the temperature will remain. - I do think I might take out one or two drawers and replace with two or three sturdy, clear, plastic bins on each shelf because they allow more compartmentalizing and maybe for some things better organization -- plus I think I can finds ones that are stronger. It would be a good idea to put a sheet of thin plexiglass on the levels you take the drawers from to protect the coils. - I laughed at the ice cube tray. That's really pretty feeble!

Thanks very helpful!

just ordered it a few moments ago. fingers crossed.

Thanks for the great video my friend .We can trust you because your garage isn't overly clean lol . If the freezer does go out ,the up side is, you get to eat all the icecream at once .

@@nightstringers it's okay but unfortunately it's not cooling as good and temperatures fluctuates. Doesn't matter what the ambient temperature is too. Usid to go as low as -20 then i set to -11f. Is it cold for a couple of months and now I cannot go lower than -4f. And throughout the week can jump to + 5.... very strange behavior

Thank you

Informative video. Are you still happy with the freezer? Is it manual or auto defrost?

@IvanRossS

Manual. For auto defrost you would have to spend way more money

How do you perform the Manual Defrost?

Hi, thank you for your video. I have the same model. I just bought it yesterday. The outer sides of my freezer are hot to the touch. Do you think this is normal? Thank you

Yes this is absolutely normal. that's your freon inside of the tubes traveling and slowly cooling down this is the process of cooling and heating the freon liquid.

Yes I know that 7 is the highest setting lol. And I was just trying to find out what is the lowest temperature it can reach. Im actually keeping it at 5 now and I'm getting -10 to -11 temperature while inside of my garage it's 82°.

No lol. No particular side at all. just do not turn it right away, I let it sit in the box , in my garage for over 24 hours. I just did not have the time to get to it and I was working. But you do not need to wait whole 24 hours. U will be fine after like 2 hr

Also, I am in Houston where my garage gets very hot. Is this Garage Ready? If not, do you think it matters?

Lol yes. Of course. Hahaha. That's even better, that way your deep freezer going to run away last and use less electricity. During the summer time my deep freezer runs alot trying to beat 80 degrees inside my garage garage

I plugged my freezer in about 24 hours ago and it isn't getting cold. Is there anything that is causing that? Electrical issue, etc? I am using an extension cord.

Oh nooooo. It's should work. I'm sorry you're might got a defective unit. Unfortunately this has happens due to transportation and overall cheap build. Make sure its set on setting 5

chatGPT said that keeping a freezer in a garage that gets down to 5 degrees can potentially damage the freezer. Is this true?

How did you get it to not wobble? Only 2 feet seems strange

@IvanRossS

10 ай бұрын

It was fairly easy, but you just have to fill it up. It is pretty wobbly when it's empty and also when you pulled the door, it's so tight because it's technically vacuum-sealed. So when you pulling on the door - whole freezer will pull. And it's absolutely normal you just have to fill it up with food.

What kind of car did you fit the freezer in? Great vid

Can anyone tell me how often they need to defrost it?

@IvanRossS

10 ай бұрын

It's all personal preference. More often you open it the more ice build-up will be in there. I would not defrosted until the icing is the problem

Anyone know if the price is the same online as in the store?

Was $100 cheaper in store. Thats because it came with free shipping and install.
