Title: A Versatile and Reliable Freezer for Your Garage: Insignia™ 17 Cu. Ft. Convertible Upright Freezer Review: I recently purchased the Insignia™ 17 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer in stainless steel, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This freezer is a game-changer for anyone looking to expand their frozen storage space without compromising on performance or convenience. First and foremost, the build quality of this freezer is outstanding. The stainless steel exterior not only looks sleek and modern, but it also ensures durability and longevity. The unit feels solid and well-constructed, giving me confidence that it will withstand the test of time, even in a potentially harsh garage environment. One of the standout features of this freezer is its convertibility. With a simple adjustment, you can switch between freezer and refrigerator modes, providing incredible flexibility to suit your needs. Whether you need extra freezer space for bulk buying or a refrigerator for beverages during a party, this appliance has got you covered. The 17 cubic feet of storage capacity is more than sufficient for most households. The interior is intelligently designed, with adjustable shelves and bins, allowing you to customize the space according to your preferences. The bright LED lighting illuminates the entire freezer, making it easy to locate and access items, even in low-light conditions. What truly sets this freezer apart is its "Garage Ready" feature. It is specifically designed to operate flawlessly in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 110°F (-17.8°C to 43.3°C). This means you can confidently place it in your garage, basement, or any non-climate-controlled area without worrying about compromising its performance or damaging the contents. Speaking of performance, this freezer excels in both cooling and energy efficiency. It quickly reaches and maintains the desired temperature, ensuring your food stays frozen or refrigerated properly.

The compressor operates quietly, allowing you to place the freezer in a variety of living spaces without causing any disturbance. The user-friendly digital controls and temperature display make it effortless to set and monitor the freezer's settings. In terms of maintenance, the frost-free design eliminates the need for manual defrosting, saving you time and effort. The unit also features a handy door alarm that alerts you if the door is left open, preventing any accidental spoilage of your precious food items. To sum it up, the Insignia™ 17 Cu. Ft.

I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and flexible freezing solution.

After reading all the reviews both good and bad we decided to take a chance. The main reason we did is because back in 2012 I bought an out of box Insignia TV that is still working to this day. We ordered the Insignia 17 cu ft convertible freezer/refrigerator. The delivery team was great and they even helped me to reinstall the laundry room door after they put it in place. (I had removed it before they got here) I did exactly what you should and this is I plugged in the freezer for over 24 hours. I also put an inside outside thermometer in the freezer to ensure it got down to 0 degrees and it did. Then since this is a separate freezer I moved it down to -10 degrees. I have had it now for 3 + weeks and it is doing great. My freezer is not in the garage it is in my house but it fits perfectly where I wanted it. The only thing was there was no owners manual and it said I could find that on line. I have looked and it is not anywhere to be found. The freezer so far is doing great. One last thing usually when a store like Best Buy has a store manufactures name on it like insignia it is usually made by one of the big appliance companies. In this case it is probably made by Whirlpool as they have a very similar looking product

I really love that this can be either a refrigerator or a freezer depending on your setting. I was looking for a counter depth refrigerator for my kitchen and discovered these. I'm doing a kitchen remodel so I bought two because I can make room for them in my configuration. I have one set to refrigerator and one set to freezer. This has been working very well, the storage is excellent and without a lot of extra stuff in the way like a bulky ice maker or water dispenser. Also buying both was cheaper than buying most normal refrigerators. I bought the medium and the large sizes. It's worth knowing that on the large one you still get four shelves with two drawers. Obviously there's more space for each shelf but they don't add a fifth. Also the shelves on the door are fairly narrow, so if you are a super condiment person this might not work great for you. On the other hand I had many condiments I probably needed to do away with, so this does help keep you organized and slim down your collection. This review is for the medium one which I am using as a refrigerator. Since there are no dividers I ended up getting an aftermarket under drawer thing for my butter and cheeses. This way they stay organized and don't take up precious shelf space. See picture. The shelves themselves are 17 in deep by 26 in wide. I had the hardest time finding that when I was buying online so I figured I'd pass this on. The only slightly annoying thing is the fridge beeps every time you open it, I'd imagine this is useful if you had kids or something. It also beeps over and over if you leave it open too long. This is annoying when you have to clean it but a good reminder if it didn't close all the way. Be aware the doors are not reversible because they have the temperature controls on them, so they are wired in I have really enjoyed this product, it was perfect for what I wanted.

Absolutely love this freezer/fridge so far! Really cool feature that I didn’t know, is you can make this a fridge or a freezer, gives you the option, Lots of space Set up was a breeze, My parents love it so much they are purchasing one for their garage as well.

Finally I got the perfect deep freezer! I love that it can be a refrigerator or a freezer! Spacious, quiet, stylish,and roomy! I’m glad I chose it! Happy customer! Only thing is the handle ; I believe it was installed correctly . You can open it from the top but Best Buy is coming to fix it!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I bought a Frigidaire model a couple of years ago but it had horrible frosting issues. This one has a great sealing door and lots of usable space inside. I also like that we can use it as a refrigerator if we choose to. I was concerned because I was not familiar with the brand Insignia. All concerns are gone.

So far this freezer is AMAZING! It is so much bigger than I expected, but I am glad it is large. I got it so that I could do a bunch of meal prep before the spring semester started since I work full time and go to school. I ordered at the right time it seems, my freezer in my refrigerator was not keeping ice cream solid and now all my Ben & Jerry's is safe and sound and solid for when I Need it while researching those last minute papers, lol! Others have noted the security of the door and it does take effort to open it, but nothing that seems excessive to me. My floor is slippery so I do have to hold the side when I open it, but I do not find it problematic. I would highly recommend this freezer!

Fits in our garage as expected. Like the fact that it can be used as a refrigerator or freezer. We are using it as a freezer. Layout is perfect and I can find within seconds what I am looking for. Perfect for us in all ways.

Perfect for our needs. We had an overabundance of okra and a shortage of storage. Our two refrigerator freezers were not up to the task so this 17 cu foot upright freezer saved the day. The only improvement I would like to see is the ability to switch the digital display to toggle between temperature setting and actual temperature.

Really happy with this purchase. The door seal is tight, you can adjust the temperature, it’s spacious. Everything I wanted. The only minor complaint is that there isn’t hardware to switch what side the door opens on.

I was convinced to buy this freezer after I saw how my friends own is working. I convinced my friend to buy this upright freezer and she is loving it. My freezer broke down and it was an opportunity to get one. The freezer beeps when it opens and automatically locks after closing making it difficult for kids to be going back and forth in it. It freezing very well. I just hope that it is durable.

Great buy. I have had this for one month and it's much larger than I anticipated. The price point was spot on, all the competitors items were $400.00 more. Good for what I need it to do. The temp control on the outside is very convenient. Delivery and removal was quick efficient and professional.

Alright, here we go: --- I recently purchased the Insignia 17 cu ft Upright Deep Freezer, and I couldn't be more thrilled! This freezer is an absolute game-changer. First off, the sheer storage capacity is mind-blowing—17 cubic feet of space means I can stock up on everything from bulk meats to frozen veggies and even those giant tubs of ice cream that never seemed to fit in my old freezer. What really sets this freezer apart is its sleek, upright design. It fits perfectly in my garage without taking up too much floor space, yet it holds an impressive amount. The interior layout is super user-friendly, with adjustable shelves and ample door storage, making it easy to organize everything and access what I need without digging through endless layers of frozen food. One of my favorite features is the fast freeze option. It quickly brings the temperature down to lock in freshness, which is a lifesaver when I bring home groceries that need immediate freezing. Plus, it's surprisingly quiet—none of that loud humming or buzzing you might expect from a freezer this powerful. The build quality is top-notch, and I appreciate the energy efficiency—it keeps my utility bills in check while still delivering outstanding performance. The bright interior light and intuitive digital controls are just icing on the cake, making it a breeze to use, even in low-light conditions. Overall, the Insignia 17 cu ft Upright Deep Freezer is a fantastic investment. It combines excellent design, ample storage, and reliable performance. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

I absolutely love my freezer! I can easily see everything and no digging like a chest freezer. Very spacious and versatile. I love that of I ever need it to be a fridge that i have that option unlike other upright freezers.

I am very happy with my new Insignia 17 cu ft garage ready convertible freezer. It is working well and has an abundance of space. I'm looking forward to filling it with all the goodies I make for the holidays to give to family and friends. I wish I didn't wait this long to buy an upright freezer.

Bought this because of the value, good reviews and open door alarm. Pros: Glass shelves, roomy, well lighted inside, temp control and lockout feature on outside of door, open door alarm. Cons: Only one gripe, but I think it’s important. The auto defrost feature has this thing going from my 5 degree setting up to 30-34 degrees every 48 hrs! I know this because I have a Level Sense wifi thermometer setup inside the freezer and it notifies me every time the temp goes above 24 degrees (bought because my kids were notorious for not shutting the door tight on my old one.). I thought this was a flaw of the freezer but saw in the Q&A this is designed this way to cycle warm air inside to prevent ice build-up. It pushes warm air through then re-freeses within an hour. So, everything inside gets condensation on it when it does this. I worry that my meat, ice cream, etc will get freezer burn. It seems like it wouldn’t be very efficient either running this way. Hate to go thru the hassle but I am probably going to return this and get a different brand.

After one month the freezer is holding temperature between -5 to 0 f consistently. The door seals are tight, it is quiet, and has plenty of room. It was a good purchase.

Love the freezer!! The delivery guys were fantastic - highly recommend!

This freezer does an amazing job — everything stays cold and frozen solid, just like Elsa planned it. ❄️ I never have to worry about my food thawing out; it’s like living in Arendelle year-round. The only small issue is the handle — if you don’t tighten it really well with the Allen wrench, it might pop off faster than Olaf in summer. Still, I love this freezer, and I’d happily “let it go” and buy it again.

This refrigerator/freezer is great. I got it to use as a refrigerator, and it is suited to the task. It has plenty of space, and cools great. I haven’t tested to see if the internal temperature matches the temperature set on the screen, but it seems to be as cold as you would expect.
