Need a little more space? This is it!
Very impressive! For those that want/need a little more space, this is it. But in fact, you will get a lot more space. Bought for my basement to stock up on corned beef sales during March when they are a fraction of the original price. This 3.5 chest freezer holds 14 corned beef briskets, a whole ham (cut into dinner portions of course) two steaks, 6 lbs. of ground beef, 2 pork loin roasts, an included basket which holds a lot, and a 4 quart lidded bin of smaller items. It is totally silent when running and in 5 months has gathered no frost. The leveling legs were an added bonus, and the illuminated (ON) light is perfect for just a glance. I did move this freezer myself as one person can pick it up. And it fit on its side in the backseat of a 4 door sedan. I just left it sitting upright for 24 hours before plugging it in. "That's very important". Sticker says $23 yearly, but I've noticed no change to electric bill. It's compact size fits just about anywhere. But don't be deceived by the outside. It holds a LOT! I absolutely love this freezer and wish I had bought it a few years ago. I did not buy the optional warranty from Best Buy. Instead I paid with a credit card which protects appliances from fault for an additional 3 year period. So check your credit cards to see if you have this protection built in. I used a Capital One card.

The little workhorse!
It has been six months since we purchased this little guy and we are still just as pleased with it as the day we picked it up. We live in a poorly designed efficiency apartment with a kitchen space that is only large enough to accommodate a college size refrigerator. When you enjoy cooking and batch preparation, that simply won't do. I've always wanted a chest freezer but we don't have space to accommodate the larger models. Most freezers sold out at the begging of 2020 so it took ages for this guy to come back I'm stock. The minute we saw it we pounced. Its compact size makes it pricier than larger models, but so far the performance has justified the expense. We keep it just above mild as we've found that to be the ideal temperature to prevent freezer burn. It's whisper quite which is a bonus considering it's about six feet from where we sleep. As with all chest freezers the only drawback would be depth. I have t-rex arms so I've had to use the long tongs to grab stuff at the bottom. That is until my partner started storing things in handle bags for easy access. But I can't really blame the freezer for my genetic shortcomings.

Perfect little beast!
This freezer is the absolute perfect size for my husband and I and our dog. Now we can stockpile chicken for our dog (and us lol) plus other items without clogging up space in our regular freezer. We have it set on the medium temp in the middle (the dial arrow is pointing straight up to the ceiling) and it keeps everything perfectly frozen. It's very reasonably priced too. Had to stick a piece of cardboard under one of the feet to mk it level but that's not an issue. We picked it up curbside at the store and it was an easy breezy experience. It fit in the back of my Jeep Renegade w/ no problem, just had to lay the seats down Since we had to lay the freezer on it's side to get it home, Best Buy told us not to plug it in for at least 24 hours. it has something to do with the refrigerant and it could mess things up or something. So we followed instructions and waited until the next day to plug it in. I put some ice trays in to test out it’s freezing abilities. Those ice cubes were frozen in a matter of a few hours! We were very impressed and continue to be impressed with the performance. Highly recommend this freezer. Btw in case u didn't know, this is Best Buys brand Insignia.

Good little freezer
We’ve always had a deep freezer even before This pandemic. Our last freezer was 3 of these put together and we would have food for 2 months. Since we’ve move to smaller place we bough this one for $158.99. I was shock how much it could hold for a family of 5. We go to Costco once a month, we are able to store it all, we do our grocery run once a month and only buy Fresh fruit in and veggies Has needed at our grocery store. This little freezer has been stuffed like a sausage and it still keeps everything frozen. We also have a vacuum Sealer we buy meat in bulk and vacuum seal it. A little tip Costco has a tube of 10lb ground beef, it’s not display or advertised just ask in the meat department for it, with meat limitation to 3 that has help feed us for the month.

Great freezer for small space!
Bought this freezer for my apartment and it fit perfectly in the corner of my dining room. We are a family of 4 and it suites us well. We have put a lot of food in it and there is still plenty of space for more. We love it. We keep it in the medium setting and everything stays frozen. It is very quiet.
