We’ve been using the freezer for 2 weeks now and so far it works as expected. Setup & cleaning instructions were easy to follow. We picked it up from our local store in hopes of avoiding a damaged freezer. Happy to say there was no physical damage on the outside of the unit. It’s a great size for our family of 4. Some frost does build up but there hasn’t been too much yet. It is manual defrost, which we haven’t done yet but I imagine it will be fairly easy with the drain located on the front lower left hand side. It runs quiet which is a major plus for us since it sits just outside the kitchen. Overall it seems like a good buy. Hoping it will last for years to come.

My living space is limited but I needed more freezer space. This size is perfect. So those that are worried it’s too deep…. I put a wire rack in the bottom of mine. The stuff I put under the rack is things that can be in there long term like fruit. Trust me my freezer becomes almost empty before the next fill up so it will never go bad. Highly recommend this unit if you need more freezer space without losing too much footprint space.

Zero complaints! Love the light on the lid. We bought 1/2 a beef and needed extra freezer room. This holds all of the beef no problem! We decided to put it in the garage so after we’re finished using it as a freezer we will turn it down and it’ll be our garage refrigerator! Tah dah!

I've had my freezer for almost a month now and it's working properly, no problems, very silent and keeping all my perishable well frozen. Size is perfect for small apartments.

Worth the price, nice size, come with a light built in

When I got this home, the freezer was damaged pretty bad on a couple corners like they had been dropped straight out of a truck onto the corner. Because I am weak from cancer treatments I decided not to try and bring it down two flights of stairs to return and bring a new one back up to a third floor apartment. Other than that it functions fine and keeps my food frozen. Perfect size for a smaller apartment.

I really like the freezer but it was shipped with a dent on the left side.

Received brand new product from local best buy. Box was badly dented with a hole in the bottom. I was advised the product was probably fine--it absolutely was not. There is a significant dent in the bottom of the unit as seen in the picture. Now have to go thru the hassle of an exchange. Insignia continues to disappoint.

This chest freezer is the perfect size and makes it easy to organize your frozen foods. It freezes quickly, runs quietly, and works well in the garage. Simple controls and great extra storage. Very happy with this purchase

I couldn’t be happier with this deep freezer. From day one, it’s exceeded my expectations in both performance and convenience. The storage capacity is impressive — there’s plenty of room to stock up on bulk groceries, meal prep, frozen meats, and ice cream without feeling cramped. Food stays perfectly preserved, and I’ve noticed zero freezer burn since using it. The temperature control is easy to adjust and keeps everything consistently cold. It also runs surprisingly quiet, which is a huge plus if you’re placing it in a garage, basement, or utility room.

This is exactly what I needed for my family of five. It is working great in the garage. My original freezer used to be packed, but now it gives us the ability to stock up since we now have a little extra room in the garage.
