The 3.5 cu ft is roomy and surprisingly quiet. I have it located in a Florida room where I have a TV. I use the freezer to hold meats and fish. So far, I am very pleased. I barely hear the compressor when it is on, and it does not interfere with watching TV. The internal light under the top is very convenient.

I absolutely love this freezer! It’s just the perfect size! It has plenty of room for all the extras that won’t fit in my small fridge freezer. It’s lightweight, easy to move around, & doesn’t take up much space. The best part, which I didn’t even notice when I bought it, is that it also has a place on the temperature dial where you can dial it down & use it as a refrigerator instead of freezer! That will be very nice if I decide I need extra fridge space instead of freezer space - awesome!! I’ve had it for a month & it works perfectly!! I may even get a second one, one for freezer, one for refrigerator. Get one! Do not hesitate!!

The freezer has been holding steady at -1° for the couple weeks that I've had it, and it's nearly dead silent (more so since it's in the garage). The hold is deep and the whole thing was set up and running from box to floor in a few minutes.

It’s fine as far as working but we unpacked it and it had two dents.
One is in back can’t move it.

The reason for the poor rating is that the item was damaged when it was removed from the box. After repeatedly contacting customer service to try to get a pricing adjustment I have been given the run around.

With today’s changing climate and ongoing uncertainty, many households are intentionally building a food reserve to stay prepared for more challenging times. That reality directly influenced my decision to purchase this freezer. I already own a freezer chest, and this unit was explicitly selected to expand my storage capacity while fitting seamlessly into my existing setup.
I intentionally chose a slightly smaller model so that, when positioned correctly, it functions and looks like a larger unit without taking up unnecessary space. The sizing is spot-on, and the overall structure feels solid and well-built—precisely what you want for long-term use.
Both freezers are housed in my garage, so the built-in interior light is a significant value-add. It makes access easy and efficient, especially in low-light conditions. Frankly, I wish I had made this purchase sooner.
The price point was outstanding for the quality delivered. This was a wise, practical investment, and Best Buy delivered on value, functionality, and reliability. Thank you, Best Buy.

I am absolutely thrilled with this Insignia™ 3.5 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer. If you’re looking for a reliable way to expand your food storage without sacrificing a ton of floor space, this is it.
Why It’s a Winner:
Perfect Size: It’s compact enough to fit in a tight corner or a small garage, yet deep enough to hold a surprising amount of bulk meat and frozen hauls.
Garage-Ready: It handles the temperature fluctuations in my garage like a champ, keeping everything rock-solid even when the weather gets wonky.
Whisper Quiet: I barely notice it’s running.
Removable Basket: The included wire basket is great for keeping frequently used items (like frozen veggies or ice cream) right at the top.
Bottom Line: For the price point, the build quality and performance are unbeatable. It’s a simple, "set it and forget it" appliance that does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Works well, keeps consistent temps below zero. It is pretty quiet, although when the compressor kicks on you can hear it if standing right next to it. A lot more space in just 3.5 cu ft than you might think.

I have the bigger version (one size up) of this freezer. We use it to store a 1/4 side of beef when we purchase our beef once a year. Fire it perfectly. Anyway, recently my son needed a little freezer for his apartment since the freezer on his refrigerator was freezer burning everything when set at the least cool temp (meaning the warmest a freezer can be), this was the perfect size for his apartment. Great size that will be easy peasey to move when he moves on from this apartment. So far, it seems to working well, he's only had it less than a month, but no complaints. Reasonably priced.

Just right, it keeps the temperature perfect, and the size is excellent for my apartment. That's why I have ordered two of them. Although they want the same style I thought I had got the same style but by accident one is different from the other but that's okay I like them both. What does it sell for what is it cost you and there's enough room for my extra food that I can freeze at my refrigerator freezer won't hold. So thank you.

Good size and runs well, doesn’t make a whole lot of noise. Fits in my small space and doesn’t take up too much space. I live by myself and eat a decent amount of precooked meals so it helps a lot. I’m pretty sensitive to noise and it doesn’t add too terribly to the stimulation. Got it while it was on sale and I think it’s worth the sale price.

Quiet - plenty of storage - works fine. Like the fact that I can turn it into a refrigerator just by turning the temp knob. Using as a freezer at the moment.

This small freezer works very well for its size. It freezes quickly and maintains a stable temperature. The unit is quiet during operation and does not take up much space, making it ideal for apartments, garages, or extra storage.
The interior is well designed and easy to organize, and the door seals tightly. Energy consumption appears reasonable, and setup was simple.
Overall, it is a reliable and convenient freezer for everyday use. Good value for the price
