Awesome Small Freezer
We purchased this freezer in March, 2020 because of the Coronavirus crisis. We knew we didn't have enough freezer space in our existing side by side refrigerator/freezer to store a lot of food, and happily, we found this Insignia freezer during our internet search. We love it! It is the perfect size for our needs. It is upright - so organizing food is easy, holds lots of food, has a sufficient number of shelves which are nice and deep, and is super quiet. We live in an apartment, and this additional freezer is located in our living room where we watch tv. You never hear this freezer, except for occasionally when its thermostat clicks it on to keep it at temperature, but even then, it is very quiet. The only negative is there is no door handle - you have to open the door at the top where there is a lip to grab onto. The suction on the door is very tight, so you do have to tug a little when opening. We think the price was reasonable for the quality of this product, and Best Buy delivered it in a timely fashion. Highly recommend, if you need additional freezer space.

Great Little Freezer
This Is The Perfect Additional Freezer. I Have Been Wanting an Extra Freezer For The Garage and COVID Helped us purchasing this a little sooner than planned. It's the perfect size for the garage as well, I didn't want a full size freezer because we were limited in space. It's very quiet, holds the temp perfectly, The Door Seals Great. You Actually have to give it a little tug more than normal to open it. We are going to fill it up this weekend. The Price Was Below The Competition, Lots of Great Reviews Now Some Bad, But Not a Deal Breaker. When I Unboxed It It Had a Few Dents on It. One Dent On The Lower Front and The Other Dent On The Upper Back. If I was keeping this Freezer inside the House I would have asked for another one. I'm keeping it in the Garage and it works Great so why not keep it. The box was in perfect condition so I would think it happened before it was originally put in the box. Who Knows. Not a deal breaker for me.

Better than expected
This is a great freezer. I have it turned all the way up and my thermometer is reading as low as it gets which is -20 (minus 20 degrees) When you close the door a strong vacuum socks the door closed tight. It is hard to open. There was a bit of an issue with things sliding off the shelves, but with some cheap Walmart containers the problem is solved. See pictures. The containers also gave me much more storage. I upgraded from a chest freezer since it was very hard to find stuff in the chest freezer and things were lost. This it better in many ways. It is so inexpensive and has such a small footprint, that if you decide you need more room you can just buy two and stand them up next to each other. This would also give you some redundancy in case one may fail. I highly recommend this freezer.

Do not turn it all the way up. Read review on why
Was going to buy a small chest freezer like the one that I had for 10 years. but found this stand up at a unbelievable price. Have had it about a month now. The reason I went with this most of all is the fact it’s a stand up unit and fits in my kitchen beside the fridge . Some complain that it dies shortly after purchase. 2-3 months. But what I noticed is that in the ones with pictures is the owners have turned the dial all the way up. DO NOT do that on a mechanical dial freezer. It will run non stop in that setting. You will burn the motor out on the compressor. I left mine set just where it was on the day I purchased it. Look at my pictures to see where mine is set. And it freezes just fine. It does not need to be set at maximum setting. we had a 24 lbs turkey in it for thanksgiving. And it will hold a 1/4 cow. But that will be the limit on what a 7 cubic foot freezer will hold.

Pandemic Peace of Mind
I considered buying a small upright freezer in December of 2019 From another retailer but decided against it because we didn’t have an ideal place for it in our small kitchen. However, by the time we decided we really needed one of these upright freezers In April 2020, every retailer online was sold out of these units. Finding this Insignia 7 cu. foot Upright Freezer at Best Buy made me feel like I’d won the lottery. The price was reasonable and Best Buy delivered it within a couple of weeks which I thought was fast. The unit is sturdy, roomy and comes with glass shelves. I am shocked at how quiet this freezer is and how well we were able to integrate it into our small kitchen. Having this freezer has made me feel more secure about our household food supply right now.
