Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed external operating temperature requirements.)
- Defrost Type: 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.)

A: Hi Noblelord! To defrost the Insignia 7 cu. ft. garage ready freezer, follow these steps: 1. Unplug the freezer from the power source to ensure safety. 2. Remove all items from the freezer and transfer them to another cooler or storage area. 3. Place towels or a shallow pan at the bottom of the freezer to collect the melting ice. 4. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. You can also use a hairdryer on a low setting to speed up the process. 5. Once all the ice has melted, clean the interior of the freezer with a mild detergent and warm water to remove any residue. 6. Dry the interior of the freezer thoroughly before plugging it back in and returning the food items. It is recommended to defrost your freezer at least once a year or when the ice build-up is more than 1/4 inch thick.

Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer with ENERGY STAR Certification in Stainless Steel Look comes in a box with dimensions of 58.1 inches in height, 23.6 inches in width, and 24.6 inches in depth.

A: Thank you for your inquiry! When transporting the Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer, it's generally recommended to keep it upright. However, if you need to lay it down in your car, you can do so, but there are a few important steps to follow. First, make sure to lay it on its side, not on its back or front, to avoid damaging the compressor. After transporting it on its side, let the freezer sit upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in. This waiting period allows the refrigerant to settle back into the compressor, ensuring the freezer operates correctly and efficiently. Following these steps will help maintain the appliance's performance and longevity. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! Keith | Insignia Support
A: Apologies for any confusion caused by the previous response. The exact length of the power cord for the Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer with ENERGY STAR Certification is 5.1 ft (1.55m). Patricia | Insignia Support
Q: NO LIGHT inside the fridge ?
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ 7 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer with ENERGY STAR Certification does not have an internal light. This means that when you open the freezer, there will be no light to illuminate the contents inside. If you need to see inside the freezer, you may need to use an external light source.

Q: I don’t see a door handle. Do you just pull anywhere? Thank you.
A: Lack of handle can be a nuisance since to open you have to hold the top with one hand (there's like a little slit for people to grab) and pull the door while you sort of push the fridge/freezer part with the other hand. It is sometimes dificult to open when the suction is extremely tight. I hope this helps. Basically, opening takes two hands and a push pull motion.
A: This is the setting I have for mines not quite to the second snowflake and it's done just fine for everything I've put in so far popsicles are freezing have no snow no ice in the freezer I hope this helps
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The small hole underneath the drawer at the bottom of your Insignia™ 7 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer is indeed a drain hole for condensation and defrosting. When the freezer defrosts, the water drains through this hole and typically collects in a drip tray located underneath the unit. This tray helps to evaporate the water over time. To clean the area where the water collects, you should first locate the drip tray, which is usually accessible from the back or bottom of the unit. Carefully slide out the tray, being cautious as it might contain water. Empty any water and clean the tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly before placing it back. Regular cleaning of the drip tray helps maintain the efficiency of your freezer and prevents any unpleasant odors.

Would buy again
This freezer is nice for the size and price i purchased it for. Thought we had a hiccup in the first week when everything was defrosting, but we figured out something was keeping the door from closing completely. It has a nice seal to keep doors closed. If i had a critique on this the dial to set temperature has no numbers on it so your winging on what a giid temp to keep the freezer at. Now i have this one I already keep it full I want a bigger one. However, I would definitely purchase this one again. Tine will tell how long this one lasts. My chest freezer lasted 10 years hopefully I will see that out of this one. One more thing i don't have alot of room in my house for additional equipment like appliances and it fits perfectly right next to my kitchen door by my front door and takes up very little space. Its also very very quiet! I love it so much!

Works Wonderfully.
I ordered this back in May, and after half a year's time, it has definitely lived up to my expectations. It was delivered nicely, I got it out of the packaging, set it up, and in very little time at all, it was already at the desired temperature. It's had no issues with temperature fluctuations, it has plenty of space for my family's needs, and I really do enjoy the convertibility of it. We had a few scorching hot days this past summer, and it had no issues handling that. Overall, I'd recommend this freezer. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Satisfied
Even though it was in packaging, there were a couple of dings on the appliance. I did not ask for a replacement as I needed it right away, and it had been a pain to pick it up now that Geek membership doesn’t give you free delivery any more. I followed instructions for set up and it seems to be working well, except from some ice build up on the ceiling. I’m happy with it. It is just the right size for what I need. And I like that it can be converted to a fridge if my needs change.
