how many amps does this require? null

The specs do not say what the amperage is but it requires 115 V, the standard outlet voltage.

None of the specifications for this freezer, which I own, states the number of amps it uses. The manual only says, "Check your local power source. Your freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply." A normal 115-120V electrical line should easily handle the amps required. Here's a link to a site that shows the amps necessary for certain sizes of freezers: https://homeappliancehero.com/large-home-appliances/freezers/how-many-amps-does-a-freezer-use/ It states that a 5 cubic foot freezer (larger than the 3.5 cubic Insignia you are concerned about) will typically use less than 1 amp when running but will use around 4 to 5 amps at start-up. This means the 3.5 Insignia should use even less. A typical circuit has a breaker that will allow either 15 to 20 amps load (dependant on the breaker) before being tripped.
