A:AnswerNo, it is really pretty quiet. We love it and would highly recommend it! We liked it so much as a freezer that we bought a 13.8 cuft to use as a auxiliary frig.
A:AnswerIt's auto so that the pipes don't freeze up and one less thing to worry about. The actual defrost is a pretty quick process and is very unnoticable.
A:AnswerI do not know, but it’s a good question. We bought this freezer as we just bought a whole beefalo and I’m almost afraid that the glass shelves are going to break as all the shelves are bowed. I think I will be seeing if I can get the thicker wire shelving, I’ve never had them now in the middle.
