My parents purchased this as a birthday present for me based on the experience they have with their own. After a week of monitoring the temperature we decided to fill it up. The temperature has stayed consistent with where it is set, even through a 3 hour power outage.
I would recommend this freezer to anyone looking for a high quality upright. It holds its temperature, has a strong seal, and has a door lock (useful if you have children who forget to close it).

If you are looking for a freezer for the garage, really consider this freezer. There is plenty of space and runs quiet. A lock on the door provides safety. The reviews online gave this a high rating compared to other models and brands. I did have a month and a half back order on receiving it but it was worth it.

The one problem was the delivery date was delayed twice. Very frustrating. When I purchased it, I indicated that that my current unit was malfunctioning and had almost totally defrosted my full freezer 3 times! There seemed to be no urgency in getting my new unit.

There is a ton of room inside this freezer and it’s lay out allows you to use all of it. I got this one because it has a alarm, and because my teenage left it open it saved me hundreds of dollars in meat we had stocked up on. It was a great buy, just watch for the sales.

The freezer is great, delivery and setup were great. However, there were only 4 models of freezers on the floor (not the one we bought) and 0 salespersons in the entire appliance area to help us and answer our questions. We had to go to the customer service desk to order the freezer which I could have done online at home!

Does a great job and freezes fast. Number one on consumer reports and I now know why. A lot of freezers are not rated for garages and cold temps, this is one of the few. Definitely satisfied and owned about 3 months. Now time will tell. Love the digital reading on door as well and alarm, very handy for storing food properly, even though I still use an internal thermometer as well just in case.

Ive only had this about a month, but the Best Buy installation team was great, and this freezer has a fantastic seal on it. I have to really tug to get it open. I actually like that - you need a solid seal on a deep freeze. I had to downsize to fit my space. I might have gotten the bigger one had I been able to see and measure for myself in-store. This one has the glass shelves, and that was one of the sell points for me. I like the drawers. There are three - comparabe to a meat tray in the center and two crisper tray drawers in the bottom. I feel its a good use of space. I love the clear shelves in the door, so i can see items. Overall, would definitely recommend this purchase. For me, and for the money, this was rhe best choice. I spent hours researching freezers before buying this one.

Love the glass shelves over the metal racking. GE has highest reviews on Freezer. And since Insigna first purchased hit back order for a month switch to this. Very nice and quite.

I love that this is super spacious and upright. A big bulk trip to costco can still have room for more. I can have 6 sacks of ice and still put in boxes of frozen food in the freezer. Door shelves are a saver for small items. The drawers are very helpful for organizing smaller frozen items.

Awesome garage freezer! Turbo freeze, lock, and alarm all extremely useful. Holds a ton of food, and frost free unlike my chest freezers is wonderful. Shopped the HE** out of feeezers, and this is definitely the best in the sub 1000 market.

Replaced an old GE freezer that had died after many years of service. Just the right size for my needs. Easy to set up, quiet, seems efficient and keeps the frozen food at the right temperature. Appears well made. Is quite and I like the temperature indicator on the outside of the unit. Some of the inner shelving is a little awkward but just my opinion. Still very functional and hold a good deal of frozen food. Took many months to receive after ordering but that was not the fault of Best Buy as every appliance was taking a long time to receive due to the pandemic.

It arrived after delivery delays and was placed in the basement. I put 15 pounds of ice and some blue ice in it to see how it did the next day. All was good until the power went out for 28 hours. Because the freezer was not full the ice on an upper shelf did melt some. This is well under what I expected however an almost empty freezer doesn't have much to keep it cold.

I haven’t owned it but for a short while but so far I like it. The freezer is spacious and organization is easy. I like the drawers and the door shelving. The freezer is well lit and runs quietly. I would buy it again. The only negative thing that I can say is that there was a dent on the lower back side when I unboxed it. It had to come from the factory that way because the packaging was not damaged. Appears to be just cosmetic.The delivery people were excellent, professional and friendly.

We are very pleased with this freezer. It replaces a freezer that is slightly smaller. We were very happy with the delivery process and how quickly the freezer got to the right temperature. It holds all we need to freeze without any problem.
