Koolatron Deep Freezer - Chest Freezer, 1 Wire Basket, Garage Ready, Meat Storage, Front Drain, Congelador For Home, Apartment, Basement, Dorm, Cottage, Manual Defrost, Stand Up, 5.0 Cubic Feet, White

This is a good value for the price. Even though it's in the garage, which was HOT in Texas this past summer, it worked just fine. Everything is always frozen solid. It holds plenty for a 2-person household, though things are jumbled up because there's little in the way of compartmentalizing. Not having a light is a minor inconvenience at times, but again, for the price, it's great.

Thanks to Amazon Prime the appliance showed up in two days. I was concerned when I saw the FedEx driver roll the box across the lawn like a was a wheel turning it upside down and sideways several times before it reached my front porch. I was expecting all kinds of damage, and everyone knows you DON"T TURN A REFGERATOR or FREEZER UPSIDE DOWN FOR ANY REASON! Fortunately there was no visible damage so I let the thing sit for a good 10 hours to let the refrigerant settle. After plugging it in it cooled very quickly, and got to 6 degrees F within an hour! I was somewhat surprised to see that it only had a 90 day warranty, but since I purchased a 4 year warranty from at the time of purchase from Amazon, I'm not to concerned. Of course only time will tell if the appliance will hold up, at this point I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The unit came sooner than expected which was great. Box was intact with no damage to the unit. It`s really deep and can hold alot of food. I was rather taken aback by how deep it is. It`s a little noisy when the compressor kicks on. It really looks aesthetically pleasing the unit. So far so good, however i only had it a few days. I keep the dial on minimum settings due to how cold it gets and how well it maintains my venison nice and ice block cold. Now the problem. NO WARRANTY information. This freezer chest came with no warranty card or warranty page in the owners manual. I called the third party seller who sold this to me on Amazon who was absolutely useless. I was left actually calling Koolatron corprate who told me the owners manual states their is a 90 day warranty. I was shocked to say the least. A 90 day warranty on an appliance... the customer service rep then promptly stated " That`s what the owners manual states but it`s warrantied for one year from date of purchase" well then i`m thinking why does the owners manual state 90 days ( mine doesn't have a warranty page) but when i called looking for one she tells me one year.... Pretty disconcerting to say the least. Needless to say i was not going to take her word for it and when i asked for something in writing she stated their wasn't anything beyond me keeping my Amazon receipt and owners manual. The same generic owners manual that doesn't even have the 90 day warranty page... I haven't had this unit a week but am feeling pretty nervous based on how dodgy the company and seller are being about this. I NEVER bought an appliance with no warranty information. I will leave a follow up some time around October 2019 around the one year anniversary date. Currently in my state venison is roughly $15 per pound ground wont be a happy man if i lose my ground and steaks. 12/6/19 Update: After a year and never turning the temperature higher than low I'm impressed. This freezer started to form frost recently and i had defrost. Really impressed and no problems so far. Still sad the warranty wasn't longer neither was there an option to purchase one separately. After a year it still works and haven't had any problems so far.

Was skeptical when I got it, I like sticking to major brands on appliances but went for it anyway. Not any issues at all for me. You need to be careful if kids use it because the baskets can not be right and it will not close all the way. Happened once to us but nothing thawed or anything, it only stays open a hair when l it does. Just had to show kid how the baskets are supposed to sit and no more issues. More of a people problem than an item issue. Just under 2 years use now and it’s still one of the best purchases I’ve made in recent times. So convenient to have even just a little more space for frozen goods. Doesn’t use too much energy from my experience and isn’t very noisy either. Probably about one third as loud as my central a/c is when running. I don’t have to turn up the tv in the same room when it kicks in and have slept near it without any issues so I would say it’s quiet. Has more space than I thought it would, one word of advice is that it’s deep enough to forget what all is in it so it’s good to stack stuff carefully. Delivery was fast. Slight box damage but freezer was all good inside so I can’t complain. Not sure how I went so long ising just a side by side fridge, this is so much easier to put things in and get stuff out of. Very happy so far with this freezer.

REPLACEMENT UPDATE: Replacement cooler works but showed up damaged (see photos). Basically the lid is all dented and one ofnthr hinges is damaged but usable. Unfortunately I don't have the time (or energy) anymore to swap it out yet again (I'm going to need it this coming weekend) so I'll have to bear with and hope the thing doesn't die on me a month from now. I'm really wishing I'd just gone with a more reputable brand. Saving a bit of $$ was definitely not worth this hassle nor my anxiety as to the reliability of the unit going forward. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Cooler DOA (powers up but does not get the least bit cold). Customer support ran me through a bunch of hoops then finally told me to call UPS to schedule a pickup. Local UPS tells me it will be $10-$20 to schedule a pickup or I can "flag down the next driver I see"... I guess while I'm carrying the cooler on my back, right? Since the replacement was already technically "in progress" it was immensely frustrating getting in contact with Amazon to haggle down the return process. I'm guessing they just want you to give up and pay the delivery charge yourself. Hopefully the replacement works. I'm anxious about quality issues now that the first one was DOA. In a way it's better to know it's bad up front instead of losing a whole bunch of food a month from now...

We stumbled across the 5.5 by accident. Most small freezers are in the 3 cubic foot range. There is amazingly little difference in cost to jump all the way from 3.1/3.5 to 5.5 (same manufacturer) - approaching double capacity. The unit is whisper quiet, freezes well and quickly and runs very full on only half power setting. It is very deep, but there are 2 large baskets which help a great deal. Highly recommended.

Rapport qualité/ prix super !! Facile à nettoyer, grandeur parfaite, idéal pour personne seule, ou petit endroit !!

This was delivered ahead of time. It is so quiet I have to check if it is still running. Best purchase I have ever made from Amazon. Not for big families but perfect or 2-4. Really frees up main fridge storage space.

We bought it to store our plenty excess tomato harvest from summer. It is in Basement, rather deep and works fine for our purpose. Arrived in perfect condition in Fedex and was not damaged or bumped on its exterior, as some other reviewers experienced with their delivaries. It came in box with a warning, "...can cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm...".Some household appliances may contain chemicals that are on the Proposition 65 list, that have this warning on them. This scared me quite a lot for a bit, but I did more reading on this and now I am ok keeping it in the house. Research this before ordering if this is really important for you...

Product arrived damaged so cannot review functionality. It is light weight and easily moved. But as it arrived with a damaged plug we cannot use it and seller is non responsive
