Q: Can someone tell me what the interior dimensions are of the 3.5 cu. ft. freezer are, please? Thanks!
A: 14x16x24 inches approximately......hope this helps.
Q: Measurement of this freezer
A: The dimensions of the freezer are 20.6 inches D x 22.2 inches W x 33.5 inches H inches.
A: No it is not but the ice buildup is very minimal. Mind you, I have only had mine for about a week. Wanted frost free but for a small secondary unit, I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars more for this feature.
Q: Is the blue power light always supposed to be on? Mine is off but there is power to the outlet.
A: This model in my case after having it just for a couple of years works ok. But that blue light works when it want to work. It’s a cheap model and it has kept my food frozen. The light was on all the time in the beginning and now it’s on sometimes. So I check on it frequently to make sure it’s working. It’s not my power source because I plugged in a tester and all three lights lit up brightly. If you can get a better model or brand you definitely should. I’m not sure how long it will last.
Q: Can the freeze be plugged into the outlet my microwave is plugged in?
A: I have a freezer similar to this and it's plugged into the same outlet (which is a 20 amp circuit) as my microwave and they both work fine being on the same circuit. The back panel of my freezer says it draws a little bit more than 1 amp. (One amp is comparable to what a 100 watt light bulb will draw.) If your house is old, the circuit in your kitchen might be a 15 amp and if new, it would be a 20 amp, but in either case, I doubt your microwave would draw much more than 5 amps... So with your total amperage draw of 6 amps, the answer is, YES! You're all set!
Q: Can it be transported on its side?
A: Yes, it can be transported on its side or back. Let it stand upright 24 hours before you plug it in and start it up, to allow the refrigerant to flow back down to where it's supposed to be. Best Buy employees told me I could move it that way, and appliance delivery people at a different big box store told me the same when I was comparison shopping. Just be sure to leave it sit upright 24 hours afterward. I moved mine lying down and it runs fine, Bought it in late summer 2017 and it's running fine in March 2018. *Note that all these smaller freezers imported from China use isopentane or some other *flammable* refrigerant in them. Move it carefully to avoid damaging anything.*
A: Check with your local Best Buy regarding delivery timing. Item doesn't qualify for free delivery...purchase must be $399 or more for free delivery. We purchased our 3.5 Insignia chest freezer the second week of January at a sale price of $120. Regular price is $150. They have a Haier for $135. We had the store clerk take it out of the box and we laid it on the back seat of our midsize 4 door sedan. Husband was able to load/unload by himself. Just used a very lightweight fold up dolly to move into position rather than drag into place. Hope this helps. We are very happy with our purchase.
Q: What is wattage used for this freezer? If we lose power, we will need to power it using a generator.
A: It is rated .8 amp ,120 volts . Perhaps , it takes .8 amp to startup but y monitor it's energy consume to 64 watts. I am running it with a solar/battery/power inverter (sine wave 1000watts) no problem
