*** I ordered the 2.1cu ft freezer in case it’s not specified somewhere by my review***I was honestly a little worried that I may get a dinged up, non working freezer. But I was pleasantly surprised to have it look like it came off the sales floor, one I removed the boxes and styrofoam. I let it sit upright for the 4 hours that it suggests in the instructions, so that in case the coolant has shifted, it will settle back to where it’s supposed to. Then I plugged the sucker in, set my mini ice tray inside, full of water of course, and let it do its thing. I have no patience, so I checked it after 30mins and it was already cool inside. So I let it be for an hour, checked it again and the ice cubes were almost frozen solid😁💕 Definitely LOVE this little freezer and it’s quiet as can be. Oh and in response to other review that said theirs got hot and the other one that mentioned the hole covered with a sticker, the freezer does get a little warm when the compressor kicks on, but it’s no warmer then you’re normal fridge🤷🏻♀️ Also, there is a little black, circle sticker on the back covering were they fill the foam INSIDE the freezer🤷🏻♀️ Again, nothing shady or damaged about it, just how they make this little thing. If anything changes anytime after posting this review, I’ll be more then happy to update it later on, but for now I can say this is a great addition for our family in an apartment💕

Fantastic little freezer. It’s in my RV right next to the TV.So quiet I wasn’t sure it was working – I think the key is to level it very well.Door swing switch is easy, very little frost buildup and uses very little electricity (Someone calculated it out at about 1.5 amp draw and I believe it). I have it on a 15amp circuit with my whole entertainment center and it hasn’t tripped the breaker even when I plug the vacuum into the same circuit.Holds allot more than you might think and doesn’t have to kick on very often once the temp settles. I think I have about 2 whole deer crammed in there.

UCF provide refrigerators but no freezers. This was perfect! It fits under his bed next to the frig. Plenty a room for frozen food. He had it for three months and so far very pleased with it.

We bought this freezer at the beginning of the pandemic when it was really difficult to find a freezer. We had a bit of issue with this at first, but once we figured out our mistake, it was much better. No problems with it now and it holds quite a bit of food!

We purchased this unit to fit in the basement compartment of a motor coach. It arrived in flawless condition and was operated ” in home” for a month , prior to installation into the coach. It has traveled around the US in varied ambient climates and has performed perfectly thus far .

This freezer does what it is supposed to do. We purchased it to keep ice in it from our ice maker that turns the ice to water if it sits there. It is a great little freezer.

I’d been looking for a freezer after the pandemic hit, but so was everyone else and nothing was in stock. When this popped up as available, I hesitated based on some of the reviews, but ultimately hit the button and am so glad.My unit arrived in secure packaging, no damage whatsoever. I followed the instructions to make sure it was level, then turned it on. It’s very quiet; I only hear when it kicks on if I’m standing right over it. Once it was cold, I packed it with literally everything that had been in my fridge freezer and still had a little bit of space left over.The top is just under counter height: I put a thick cutting board on top and made it my coffee station with plenty of room for an electric kettle, grinder, a french press, moka pot and pour over.One year update: Still working flawlessly, no issues at all. Fantastic little freezer.

Can’t believe how LARGE this is- more than enough for my needs (I’d estimate large enough to hold at least a month’s worth of frozen food). Glad I didn’t get the 3 cubic feet one. It holds MUCH more than the photo (or video) suggests (more below). Well-packed, in perfect shape. Indeed, as the instructions assert, if the freezer isn’t level the door doesn’t stay closed. I’d never done this before, have poor manual dexterity and it took me quite a while to adjust the feet on each side, using a level horizontally and vertically (checking the side to side tilt and the front-to-back). It wasn’t difficult, but it required time and patience. The instructions say turn each foot (two at the front corners) to the right to lower, to the left to raise, which confused me a bit but it translates to counter-clockwise to lower, clockwise to raise. Once I finally got it level (I have a wonky surface in my travel trailer), the door closed tight. At one point I tried locking the door with the key and THAT did the trick, so if it ever becomes an issue (like when traveling) nice to have a surefire method for ensuring that the door remains closed.Note- I got it all situated, THEN read the part about initially setting the temperature knob to 5, the highest it will go, so had to pull it out again and set it (see photo of the back- the white round dial on the left). SO, all ready to go, plugged it in, and put in an ice cube tray of water. It took less than TWO hours to freeze solid! (I read reviews of other freezers that said it took overnight for ice to freeze initially).To give you an idea of what can fit in the freezer (I experimented), it can hold 39 full-size Banquet TV dinners + 2 smaller packages, like Lean Cuisines, + 4 small frozen juice containers + 8 smallish burritos, like Don Jose’s. I’ve checked repeatedly, and regarding a large bag of ice, there’s none of that slightly melting and then re-freezing again, which results in ice that’s congealed cubes and requires an icepick (my house fridge does that). Ice cubes remain frozen solid and separate, and ice cream is as hard as a rock, the way I like it.[UPDATE: The thing about the ice not slightly melting I’ve found is only true if you keep the ice on the bottom shelf. If you place it on the top shelf it does slightly melt, requiring an ice pick. But ice cream kept on the top shelf is always rock hard, as is other frozen food, so it seems the effect is slight and of little consequence, my house fridge/freezer does the same thing. I’ve kept chicken, fish, etc. frozen on the top shelf for months at a time, no ill effects whatsoever and cooks up fresh. Also, for what it’s worth, we had a power outage of 10 hours and everything still seemed to be frozen solid. After five months of use still LOVE the freezer.]I was unable to upload the video of the freezer from the Whynter site for some reason, you can go there to see it (but it also shows those little containers/cartons of Haagen Dazs-type icecream, which don’t provide an accurate impression of how MUCH it holds). You can also download the owner’s manual (note: the freezer is listed under refrigerators, for some reason). FYI, the owner’s manual states that the freezer draws 75 watts, .88 amps. It comes with a small paper sticker on the front that removes easily after soaking for a few minutes with dishwashing lotion. So quiet, you can barely tell when it’s running. And it’s BEAUTIFUL. Couldn’t be happier with this freezer! If it malfunctions or dies I’ll update my review.

I’ve been wanting to downsize to a much smaller fridge someday, so I’ve also wanted to move much of the freezer food elsewhere. I got the 3.0 size last summer. I’d been thinking it would be about the size of a dorm fridge; it’s much taller and heavier than I’d expected. It comes up to my hips (about the same height as my kitchen counters), and it’s fairly deep, and it’s heavy. I can’t pick it up alone, so getting it single-handedly into the house then down the basement stairs was a real challenge. (I eventually took it out of the box outside, fastened straps around it to use as handles, and eventually slid it sideways down the stairs on a ramp of flat cardboard sheets.) So on the one hand it turned out to be way bigger than I thought I needed, and I regretted not getting the smaller size. On the other hand, it holds a surprising amount of food, and I’ve managed to keep it packed ever since.At any rate, it arrived in excellent shape without any dents or scratches, even though the plastic strapping holding the bottom of the packaging in place was loose. I read the manual and followed the directions for washing it out, leveling it, and setting it up otherwise, and so far I haven’t any issues with it — my food’s freezing rock solid, and I haven’t noticed a major impact on my electricity bill. I’ll try to add a few photos to show how tall it is, and what it looks like empty and with the basket in/out. The basket isn’t very large — it’s about half the depth of the shelves — because it’s sharing space with the motor. (You can see the motor and wiring on the back at the base, and the setting dial is beside it.) The two upper shelves aren’t adjustable and are fairly deep (can easily handle something like frozen pizzas lying flat). The door also has a lockable latch, though I haven’t used it.

I wasn’t sure 3.0 cu ft would be large enough for our needs, but this is perfect! Plenty of room for our meal prep & extras and still small enough to not take up too much precious garage space! We’ve been pricing these for a while and were surprised at how expensive freezers this small were going for—we’re thrilled to find this for under $200!Arrived perfect, no dings or dents.
