    When we had to replace our old freezer, were looking for a smaller one, because our kids are married and we didn't need all that space, and this smaller one is more cost efficient. It's in our basement, and we're down there a lot, and it is VERY quiet. I love this, the only thing is, I wish they would have put a light on it, showing that it's plugged in/working.

    Seems to be doing a great job. It's very quiet except for the little vacuum sealing noise right after you close the door. Tons of room without being too big.

    Although only 8.5 cubit feet, it holds a lot. The door almost seals to well as it can be hard to open with one hand. I have not used the manual defrost but am optimistic that it will work well.

    This freezer is absolutely amazing. It is the perfect size for our extra food purchases. It's seals every time and you can hear is vacume seal. The quietest appliance we have in the house.

    Only had a limited space, this fit great and works well. Wish for adjustable shelves, but a trip to Walmart got some plastic shelves to make room more user friendly.

    Noisy, turns items into solid ice, costs double

    The freezer arrive dented in back. I straightened it all out in an hour or so. It makes weird noises. Since it is only about 15 feet away from our main TV area, this is an issue. It is manual defrost. I knew that. I realized I was going to have to defrost it occasionally. However,.... Items such as a tupperware container of ice cubes turn into a solid brick of ice after a few days. Ice cream containers, even when double bagged in freezer bags, acquire an armor of ice on the top surface of the ice cream after a week or so. Bags of frozen veggies turn into a solid ball of ice after a week or so. I want to trade in this freezer for an auto defrost freezer. One other item that bugs me is that now Best Buy carries this same freezer for half the price with an Insignia label on it. Apparently Best Buy is having Danby build this freezer for them with a Best Buy label and charging waaaaayyyyyy less for it. "I would recommend this to a friend" No only no but he*l no.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Died in less than 5 years

    It's a nice size, but gets really frosty fast. Had for 4.5 years and died. Luckily I noticed before I had to throw out a bunch of meat. To repair is more than to buy a new one.
