- Freezer Type: Chest (Chest freezers have a lid that lifts from above and open storage space within, helpful for storing bulk items.

- Defrost Type: Manual, Manual (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Amazing Deep Freezer
I am in love with this deep freezer. Its very spacious and holds so much. It keeps a very great temperature, very silent & very easy to keep clean. It also has a built in light which I think its great and comes with extra shelving that I have not yet used.

Great for a beekeeper
Very happy with it. It is big and lightweight. Has wheels only on the back corners. Bright LED light under the top cover. Makes normal gurgling noises even when compressor is off, but very quiet. I use for my beehives. I can put 8 medium boxes horizontally and 1 more vertically without modifications. You could put 10 medium boxes if you cut the plastic channel used to hold the plastic divider on top of the compressor section. I have plenty of room, so I didn't cut it. The delivery was great and on time. No scratches. Make sure you don't loose the outside drain cover when they remove the packing when they delivery it. I caught it on time on the street by the delivery truck!
