Igloo - 5.2 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer - Seashell White

It was easy to store in or basement. It has more than enough storage for meats and other items. It is efficient and energy-efficient.

I bought one ..opened the box body was damaged very badly..replaced it and again it's slightly damaged piece...it's very poorly built. Function wise OK.. I bought it because I wanted to use some rewards point otherwise I would have returned it... would not recommend to any body...

This freezer is a perfect fit for a small size room in kitchen or dining area. This holds quite a bit more food than I anticipated. Runs quietly and I hardly know it's on. Temperture keeps food cold and frozen. I have had no issues with it thus far and for the price I am impressed. I have owned this for 2 months. I recommend this product.

You know I read EVERY review here and all the well spoken ones were praising its energy efficiency! I wish ONE of the other owners would actually verify it's claims. Short Answer: Specifications Claim 172 KWh/year (Div 365) = 0.47KWh/day. Reality: Full freezer brought to temp -18C(minimum recommended for deep freezer) for 24-36hrs, then monitored with a power meter, consumes 2.3KWh/Day. ie: $88/Year to run vs $18 reported on the big EnergyGuide notice. Ambient Room temp was 72F. There are no unexpected sounds or other issues with this well appearing unit, I expect there are no problems with it otherwise. Nice feature is the thermostat has a refrigerator setting! I wonder if they gave its energy rating based on it being a fridge. The drain plug is in the bottom of the unit, a pan is required to drain/collect water. This could be good to plumb a drain outside, if used as a fridge. I really like the look/function, but I can't use it if it's taking as much power as it appears to be. I will be returning this one, but not sure if I should waste my time testing a second one. I need this for off-grid project I am planning and it's doing MUCH worse than a similar freezer I tested from 2002(which took about 0.8KWH/day). Please you freezer reviewers do independent power tests, get yourself a "Kill-A-Watt" meter or similar(there are other makes out there just as good). --- My notes: Igloo - 5.2 Cu. Ft.

This was purchased for use in a college dorm. The amperage fit the criteria, and we bought a washer 'drip pan' in case of leakage. The room inside was enough to provide frozen food and dinners for my daughter and her roommate for the entire semester. Freezer is quiet and efficient and looks good, too. Priced less than similar model on sale at either Costco or Sears.

Me and my wife bought this freezer because we needed just a little more freezer space than our refrigerator provided. We also needed a freezer that was small enough to fit into our dining area without looking bulky or out of place. This freezer was the perfect size and the price fit our budget well. We have never bought this brand before so I guess time will tell how it holds up. But for the meantime, it's working as it should and freezes really well.

We just needed something to take the load off of the dinky freezer on our refrigerator and be able to stock up. We did not need something huge, and we only had a couple of hundred dollars to spare. This unit is working out great, except after a few weeks it would not freeze food--it would keep it at refrigerator temperature. I unplugged it for about an hour and plugged it back in, and it's been working great since. I suspect that it may be because we have it in the garage, and it has been at least 90 degrees everyday since we bought it, and some days in the 100's, so I wonder if its little compressor had been running continuously and just could not keep up and needed to rest a bit. So I'm keeping an eye on it, but so far so good. Otherwise, I like that it has a light to show its plugged in, and a light goes on when the compressor is running.

So far very little frost, was worried about manually defrosting but no build up so far. Like how quiet it is and the size is perfect for me. The price was great for a basic freezer.
