No in-home warranty service ???

It was wonderful for 8 months. Then it stopped cooling/freezing intermittently.
A warranty service appointment was scheduled, but Best Buy cancelled it. The told me "this item isn't eligible for in home service" and that I would need to take it to my nearest Best buy store. It's nearly 160 lbs and 62 inches tall. Clearly, This isn't something that can be loaded in the back of my Jeep Cherokee. I've spent hours on the phone speaking with multiple people across the globe trying to resolve this in a reasonable manner to no avail. I will either have to try and repair it myself, hire an independent repair service on my dime or replace the unit at my expense.
Based on this experience, major appliance warranty service for this major appliance seems to be non-existent.
We apologize for the frustrating experience you've had with the warranty service process for your Insignia 13.8 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer. We understand that the unit stopped working intermittently and we fell short of providing a convenient and satisfactory resolution. We're sorry that the in-home service appointment was cancelled and you were informed that it wasn't eligible for in-home service, despite its size and weight. We'll take your feedback into consideration and explore ways to improve our warranty service process, particularly for larger and more complex appliances.

It is a magnificent piece. I wish I had bought it earlier. It keeps all my foods frozen conveniently.

Had the freezer for two weeks. Would of given 5 stars, but one problem. Went to put some more food in the freezer today to find that one of the shelves had shattered. Didn't have much sitting on that shelf. Had to empty the freezer to get all the broken glass out.
Insignia is sending out a replacement shelf under warranty

Plenty of storage, fits well in our garage taking up minimal space.

The reviews were promising. I guess I should have read more of them. As many have stated, used as a refrigerator, this unit does not maintain a safe temperature for meats and dairy (and as you can see from one of my pictures, we have milk in the fridge). The temperature on the door only shows the temperature at which you select for the unit to cool. It DOES NOT show the actual interior temperature. When I began to doubt the temperatures were getting as low as I desired because beverages just didn't seem cold, I ordered two refrigerator/freezer thermometers. I first tested them in our primary refrigerator and they were accurate within 1 degree. That tells me the top shelf of this Insignia refrigerator is barely going to touch the "SAFE" zone. Not going to risk food poisoning. Making arrangement for this thing to be returned ASAP. BTW...door temperature is set at lowest possible temp.

So far the product is running well. We bought it for extra refrigerator space during the holidays and to use as a temporary freezer when we need to defrost the large freezer. We had a very old refrigerator in the garage that this is replacing. We will be turning it off until needed again. We have issues with the interior having flaws and deep scratches causing us to worry how it will hold up with further use.
