Yes, I used my mini-van to pick up mine and put it on the side. Once you get it home and unpack it, I would recommend that you leave it upright for maybe 6-8 hours (probably don't need that long but just to be safe) before plugging it in so the freezer gets adjusted to the environment and being back upright. This is what was recommended to me, which I did and everything was fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can lay it on its side but have to leave it standing upright for a day or so before using to make sure the coolant is good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That's exactly what I did. Think the box even supports on the side. Just leave it upright for a couple hours before plugging bit in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The box says no but Best Buy loaded it into my Saturn Vue SUV on its side and it has worked fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it is OK to lay the box down. You will need to set the freezer upright for several hours when you get home before plugging it in.
