I’ve been looking for a small freezer to handle overflow from our main fridge/freezer. The 5 cubic foot model is a perfect size. It fit nicely into a nook in the basement. I purchased it 3 days ago from a local Best Buy. One must-have feature for me was a power light. Many small freezers in this low-price category do not have a light (Lowes, Home Depot). Oddly the Insignia floor model did not have a light, but the salesman was nice enough to pull one from the warehouse. We found that one had a power light. I agree with other posters that Insignia is not a name-brand, but it’s likely built in the same factory as major brands like Hot Point or LG. Just compare the control panel and you’ll see what I mean. This applies to most appliances these days. Other features that I’ve been impressed with are: - It’s light weight, easy to move around. - The exterior metal shell is surprising sturdy. It could easy support something stored on top. - It’s got a drain plug for defrosting - It started up fine, got down to 0 degrees in a few hours. - It’s quiet Overall, it seems to be good value. I hope this works out long term.

So, this little freezer is perfect!! First off, I could pick it up as it's not super heavy, and I got it home in a SUV, so the box isn't all that huge. I plugged it in and within a few hours it was really cold. I've had this for a few months, and not only is it perfect for all things frozen, but it doesn't use that much electric. My bill was flat since I plugged this in, so in no way is it an energy hog, and I keep it on a sunroon where it gets pretty warm. Great value for a very energy efficient deep freezer! My soon to be wife and I are on the go quite a bit, so this saves us money in being able to freeze meals vs. throwing out items just because we didn't have room to freeze things. On top of all that, Best Buy service was awesome, they loaded it in the car for me and all said, I was walked in the store and drove off 15 minutes later with a freezer.

Desperately needed more freezer storage. We don't have a lot of space and this freezer fit the area we wanted to use. Shopped online, this freezer was in stock and available at the local BB. Went down to look at it, and it was what we were wanting. Sales associate was great at answering questions and completing the transaction. With in a few minutes a couple of BB team members were helping us load into our pickup. Once home and set up, the freezer was cold enough to use in about 15 minutes. Have had for over a year now. Runs quiet and does an great job as a freezer. Satisfied do far.

Purchased Insignia - 5.0 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer about a month ago, I am very satisfied with it. It runs great and is quiet. Very affordable!! I would definitely recommend this deep freezer if you are looking for something that doesn't take up too much space and if you need extra storage. It does the job! Associate was extremely helpful and had a pleasant attitude. Thanks BestBuy!

I picked up my freezer at the store on 3/5/2020, unpacked it at home. It looked great - no scratches, dents, or spots. I placed it in the basement, at the distance from the wall that was written in the instructions; leveled it, and left it there for 24 hours before plugging it in and turning it on. After freezing products in it, the temperature at the bottom of the freezer measured at -9.9 F (using a digital thermometer). The appliance is very quiet. So far, so good - hope it stays that way. If anything changes, I'll post an update.
