I purchased this chest freezer for my wife to store her precious breast milk supply. However, it turned out to be a complete disaster. Despite following all the recommended settings, after just THREE months the freezer failed to maintain a consistent temperature, resulting in the entire batch of breast milk being ruined. Almost 700oz of milk.
The fluctuating temperatures caused the milk to spoil, rendering it unsafe for our newborn. This not only wasted hours of my wife's hard work but also posed a risk to our baby's health.
I am deeply disappointed with the quality and reliability of this freezer. It failed to fulfill its primary purpose and ended up causing more harm than good. I strongly advise against purchasing this product for anyone looking to store breast milk or any other perishable items.

I purchased this in mid January 2023 and it gave out sometime within the past few days (we are in late March 2023) and of course it is no longer returnable. Now I am stuck with a freezer full of rotten meat and other foods and about an inch or spoiled fluids in it. The smell of the spoiled food is what alerted me to the fact that it had apparently quit. I lost about $250 worth of food because of this. They now want me to haul the horribly smelling appliance to Best Buy for them to take a look at it, and I have no vehicle to fit it in. This has got to be a joke. This was my first Insignia brand appliance and I completely regret my purchase.

This freezer is perfect for my small apartment. The refrigerator freezer that came with the apartment holds very few items, and it quickly became unmanageable. I added the 3.5cf Insignia, and the problem is solved. I can now keep the items I need to access often in the refrigerator freezer and store the rest in the Insignia. The size is perfect. As many people mention, you basically cannot hear this freezer one bit. I have a mini fridge in the same room that is much louder. I did order a couple wire baskets that will make managing the contents in both of my freezers easier. Buy one! You will not regret it.

We are very happy with our purchase of the freezer. It works quietly, and freezes food well and quickly. It's spacious – it's convenient to store meat, vegetables, and ready-made meals; we don't have to "cram" anything in. It maintains a stable temperature, and the food doesn't get covered in ice or lose its quality.

Small Freezer, Big Surprise!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to love a freezer this much, but here we are. It fits perfectly in my small apartment—like it was meant to be. Don’t let its size fool you though; this thing holds way more than you'd think. I’ve packed it like a game of frozen Tetris, and it just keeps taking more!
Looks sleek, doesn’t guzzle power, and it’s so quiet I sometimes forget it’s even there (unlike my neighbor's blender). The quality? Solid. The price? Even better. If you're on the fence, hop off and grab one—you won’t regret it.
Plus, who knew adulting could feel this cool?

I needed a freezer because the one in my refrigerator wasn't maintaining a steady temperature. This model surprised me because it definitely keeps things frozen. Even when my A/C went out and the temperature in my apartment was in the high 80s, it didn't phase this freezer at all.
More room than I expected or needed. Sort of blew my food budget because I bought some extra food to fill this freezer up.

This was the perfect tool for the job. I needed a small freezer for seasonal storage of fish and meat. I was able to lift and carry it myself. Set it up and turn it on. Read the directions and this will be your best solution for preserving your harvest. Affordable, quiet, and I would recommend.

About as Much Space as a Baker’s Kitchen Rack

This freezer is very compact, and also quite necessary. I got this to improve my circumstances on keeping food more long term. The refrigerator I have is small and the freezer compartment is also not very big on that unit, yet I needed still something affordable along with being space saving. The unit is not very heavy to move around, and I was able to load it into the back seat of my mid-size car (I had to remove the packaging box and put that in the trunk though). I waited a couple of days to power it on after getting it home just so that all the fluids would be reoriented back in the proper internal position. I have had no problems with this little freezer and I am really confident with the INSIGNIA brand now. I had prior purchased an INSIGNIA flat screen TV, some multi-port USB charges, a dash cam and a coupe other things by this company. Quality is great and prices are affordable. I really love this little freezer. It is much larger than I thought it would be for the cubic feet, and I can store a number of food items.

Great freezer for those needing extra storage

I purchased this on the Labor Day sale for a great price. I needed a small additional freezer to offload some of the food items that were crowding my fridge freezer. This unit is just big enough to fill that need. The storage space is adequate, but I do wish the design had allowed for a bit more open space inside the unit. The compressor unit forms a bit of a shelf inside the unit itself and takes away from what could be additional storage capacity. Not terrible, but definitely could be an issue for someone who needs more storage space. Otherwise I've had no issues thus far and am happy with the unit.

So far, so good. Big enough to store lots of frozen food. Absolutely quiet and small enough to reach the bottom for a short 5' 1" woman. Holds a rock steady temperature and freezes things rapidly. I'm very happy with this chest freezer. Only time will tell how long it will last.

I recently purchased this chest freezer, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It offers ample storage space, making it perfect for storing bulk food items, frozen meats, and leftovers. The interior is well-organized, with a spacious compartment that fits everything I need with room to spare. The removable baskets are a nice touch for smaller items, keeping everything neat and accessible.
What impressed me the most is its energy efficiency. It runs quietly and maintains a consistent temperature, even during extended periods of use. My electricity bill hasn't gone up significantly since I started using it, which is a huge plus. The temperature control is simple to use, and I appreciate the easy-to-read display that shows the internal temperature.
The build quality is solid, and the freezer feels very durable. It’s also easy to clean, which is always a plus when you’re dealing with a large appliance. I was a bit worried about the noise level, but it runs so quietly that I barely notice it, even when I’m in the same room.
Overall, I highly recommend this chest freezer to anyone looking for a reliable, energy-efficient, and spacious unit. It's been a game-changer for keeping my freezer organized and stocked, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

I've been eyeing a deep freezer that was a good size and would take up minimal space in an apartment kitchen. This freezer is perfect for the job, low noise, works great and a decent price. I just wish that I caught the one with the lighted interior for a extra few bucks, it sold out.

I bought this as a backup when my only refrigerator started having issues. This got cold very quickly, it’s been running well for a month, and it’s very quiet. The only thing I did was buy some extra baskets to make getting at food easier, but that’s the nature of a chest freezer.
