Great GE freezer
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Great freezer! My wife loves the 4 trays. I like the LED light. It really lights it up. Great value for the price. I would definitely recommend.

Gasket doesn't seal properly along back
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.It ships with the baskets taped in... And now the gasket doesn't seal on the back side, where the baskets were. So, ice builds up along the top and the back wall even though I've had this freezer less than a month. I try to remember to keep the top bins on that same side because it helps some... But then the ice makes the bins get stuck. They do include a scraper with it, so that's good I guess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Baskets

Worth the price
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Great freezer unit; using it to replace tow older smaller versions. The internal LED light is very helpful, as well as the external power indicator. Had some initial issues with the alarm activating with any power fluctuation, but it stabilized after an extended power reset (pulled the plug and waited 20 minutes)

Reviews are generally relatable
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Seems to be as described in the majority of reviews. The one down side is that the freezer does get a bit frosty where the upper baskets hang. Also, it's important to lower the lid on this unit in a controlled way because otherwise it slams down and that wouldn't be good for it in the long run.

GE Chest Freezer great value
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Freezer has all the features we required, including an inside LED light to make finding contents easier. The sliding trays are convenient for smaller, frequently used frozen food items. Delivery personnel were professional, safe, and quick.
