- Freezer Type: Chest (Chest freezers have a lid that lifts from above and open storage space within, helpful for storing bulk items.

- Convertible To Refrigerator: false
- Defrost Type: Manual, Manual (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

It works great, but...
Works great, just wish the temp control was more precise and had a temp reading on the outside, but I'm sure that would require a better model. It truly does the job, but we're in winter, so we'll see what happens in the summer.

Overall, it's good value for the price.
It's not your typical frost-free appliance, so there is no air circulation to keep temperatures even. It's the walls that generate the freezing temp. You will have variations from bottom to top. Found that out by placing zip-locks of homemade chicken broth near the top. Next day still liquid or partially frozen. I move them down a few inches under other items, then they froze right up. Not really a complaint, just a limitation in the design. It does the job.

GE 5 cubic foot chest freezer
It's a great little chest freezer. (5 cubic feet) This would be perfect for one person, a small apartment or small space. GE is a very good brand. I did however return this freezer because I ended up needing a 7 cubic foot freezer. I had the chance to use the freezer for 2 weeks until the new one came in. Worked great. Highly recommend it.
