I have only had the units for about a month, so I don't have any long-term options. I purchased two one for use as a freezer and the other as a refrigerator. One of the units sometimes makes a "vibrating" noise. When this occurs the unit is twice as loud as normal. The noise seems to be internal to the unit. the second unit never makes this noise, so IMO it has to be a manufacturing issue as opposed to a design issue. Because of this issue I am only giving 3 stars. My units are in an unfinished basement, so the noise is not an issue for me.

We kept running out of fridge space and had two extra freezers already. We wished someone made just a refrigerator and then we found this one.

It's a great upright freezer. The layout allows for easy organization. I haven't used it as a refrigerator - again the layout would be very useful a stand alone fridge.

I purchased one of these over a year ago to serve as a freezer. We shop once every three months, and we were bungee cording the top freezer of our little normal fridge to keep it shut.
This was, as you could guess, somewhat distressing, as all of the carefully fitted food would fall out every time someone opened the freezer and have to be carefully fitted back in, or people just avoided opening the freezer and snacked on chips, which defeated the point of frozen meals.
We purchased this particular model because it is convertible, and I figured if we ever moved to a place without a fridge, at least we would be covered.
The inner design is more perfect for a fridge than a freezer, but it works perfectly well as a freezer too. We can (and have) stuff pizza boxes and giant halloween candy bowls with dough inside. When we shop, we can fit all of our frozen goods into the freezer, if planned with thought, and most of our frozen goods in the freezer without planning (usually done by my kids or husband). That said, a normal family that does not shop for a quarter of the year, should be able to fit all of their freezer food in just fine with room to spare and not a thought to how things will fit.
When I initially read the reviews before I bought, I read that it was noisy and hot. It does have a hum that kicks in, but I barely notice it. I plan on getting a second to use as a fridge (I'm tired of jengaing all the fridge foods in, just to find something rotted because it was under a half a foot of other food, and no one moved the food to look), so it is obviously not loud enough that I find it bothersome. I barely notice it.
It is large, so if you aren't looking to stuff a body in it, you might need a smaller model, but if you need lots of space, it delivers excellently.
I gave five stars because it suits my needs perfectly.
Here are some caveats:
I checked "no hard to reach spots" but truthfully, the only design that's going to meet this criteria is something shallow and torso level. Which obviously defeats the purpose of having a giant freezer you can fit that lion you illegally hunted after it escaped from that farm in Ohio. Anything with ample space, you will have to reach and bend at some point. That said, there is more than enough space between shelves that you can stack lots of food, still see it, and have clearance to reach without cursing. Thus by my definition, no hard to reach spots.
I only gave it a four on features because its not feature rich, nor do I want it to be. I don't want an ice maker, or little dwarfs that neatly stack everything. I just wanted lots of room, and ability to freeze. I was going to give it a three in this department as a denotation that you aren't getting R2D2. Still, it does have awesome shelving, a tight seal, and the ability to convert to a fridge, so I figured these were important features and bumped it up one. It doesn't have a water dispenser but I don't have the pipes to hook it up and I don't like cold water anyway.
The only feature that could make this better is if it had a back up battery to protect the food fr 12 hours if the power goes out and a timer to let you know its been tripped. I had a friend who swears her fridge/freezer does this.
The seal is very, very strong. Sometimes, you can't open it by the handle, you have to put your hand at the top to help break the seal.
If there is a problem where it doesn't seal and the door is ajar, you will have many non-frozen foods. Make sure it seals.
If you spill water, juice or condensate on the shelves, it will be a pain in the butt to clean off. Because it freezes that good.
If puts off a ton of heat on the exterior. Not enough for a human being like myself to feel it, but enough that if you don't leave a foot and a half to two feet of space between it and your refrigerator or other freezer, then it will over power the smaller appliance, which just won't work.
My well meaning husband removed the kitchen flotsam I had in the space after I read somewhere to provide a certain amount of space between, and pushed the two together. The fridge quit keeping food cold after just a few days and became a useless appliance. It is a smaller cheaper model, but be forewarned. When they say leave space, they mean leave space. After I properly berated him, as is my wifely duty, he cracked it, an inch, then an inch more at my prodding (apparently not registering the fact that nothing in the fridge was cold--he preferred to believe the fridge was broken of its own accord) until it was back at the appropriate spacing. At which point, the refrigerator mysteriously started keeping food cold again. Trust me, as he didn't, it was this freezer.
I love this freezer. I would replace my husband with it, if it were legal in this state. I have NO experience with it as a refrigerator, and have never tried to convert it. The new one of the same model I ordered will arrive next week, and I will install it as a fridge. Then we shall see if it can stand up in the shadow of its alternate universe freezer counterpart. I am particularly excited that it will, because every time I open the freezer, I think, gosh this is designed just like a fridge unit. I wish I could use that crisper for vegetables without freezing them into crystalline oblivion.

I was very happy to purchase this freezer as I was about to purchase 200 lbs. of angus beef. The freeaer was fine! Better than what I was looking for. However, it went out 2 years and 3 months later it went out and I lost all of my meat.

Door sweats and drips onto the carpet

We did not know that it was a refrigerator/freezer when we bought it. There is not enough insulation in the door to prevent condensation on the door and it drips onto the carpet. The side walls are heat ed, so no sweating there. Went to the store to return it and they said I was over Best Buy's 15 day return policy. I did not buy an extended warranty so Best Buy can not/ will not do anything to help me! I told them that it will be my LAST Best Buy purchase!! This freezer is going to make my electric bill go sky high!!

using as a freezer

Love the 'frost-free' feature, nice storage on shelves and door. Holds a lot, easy to organize different foods, and is maintaining the temperature. Only complaint is that it is louder than most units but is in the garage so it's not bothersome. We will probably not use it as a fridge--bought to use as a freezer. Have had it about 2 months. Also bought 'service plan' to protect food and liked the money back offer.

We purchased this unit (5/1/12) to add a refrigerator to laundry room along w/ our freezer. Since our current freezer is already 6+ yrs old, it's nice having a convertible frig to freezer just in case the freezer goes out.
The interior is nice - especially the glass shelves. The spacing makes it easy to slide in the thin 12-pack rectangular soda cases as-is. No need to buy extra racks to handle all the different drinks.
My wife noticed the compressor was running quite a bit. This was expected while the unit was adjusting. The factory set 4 kept it a bit cold but bumping it to 5 did the trick - a temp ranging 37-40 deg.
It's not as noticeable now but but I'll update this post if that's not the case. Since the unit is in a laundry room, the noise it's compressor makes is not a concern. However, it's noise level is only slightly higher than our freezer so I can't say it's beyond expectations. Our kitchen fridge is much quieter but it also cost 4x more in $$.
Besides the compressor noise, the only other drawback I see is the sliding draws at the bottom. They don't slide very well and aren't the sturdiest. We have them filled with water bottles and, with that weight, it doesn't feel like you can be too aggressive w/ them w/out causing potential damage. Again, this is somewhat expected by the low price we paid - $610 - which so far has made this purchase a steal.
