GE - 5.0 Cu. Ft. Garage-Ready Chest Freezer - White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice small freezer to put in kitchen in addition to refrigerator/freezer . Received in perfect condition . “Garage Ready” even though it will be kept in the house . Extra insulation is always good . Time will tell the whole story as to how it holds up . Bought one for my daughter several years ago and it is still going strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size for our garage. Easy to access food as it is not too deep, has a small shelf and a basket. Nice for overflow from house side by side freezer and to stock up on sale items. Keeps food frozen as expected!

Have had a this a couple months and we are happy with the freezer. It is quiet, came to the temperature we needed quickly. Perfect size for our needs and would recommend this if you need a smaller chest style freezer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a freezer. So far so good. Fits the dimensions and no problems so far. Freezers should last a long time so I'll save any big praise until it's at least 10 years old.

Sadly, my freezer just died, but I did buy it in December, 2001. It worked great, just make sure to defrost it on schedule. I am downsizing and need something smaller, otherwise, I would buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is too early to tell, I just received the Freezer, but according to what I read and heard about it will be happy with it/

I love that it is just the right size I need. I like the metal interior and you can adjust the temperature. I had an extra large one for 26 years. My house burned down and my kids are grown, so my needs have changed. It was still working great when my house burned.

The freezer is fantastic. We chose it for it is, firstly, a GE product, and the size perfectly meets our freezer needs. The dimensions are great and the product sits well both in our garage as well as indoors (if we have to move it in later). The initial start-up was simple and straight with just one knob needing to be turned in to the desired temperature setting. We will definitely recommend this freezer to anyone who has freezer needs for 2,3, or 4 people in a household.

It's a good basic freezer if you don't have much space. The corner I put it in has limited depth and this was the only brand that would fit there. A recent storm knocked out power for 60hrs and nothing perished. I'da gave it 5 stars if it had an interior light though. It needs a light.

I haven't even plugged it in, yet, but we'll get started with just a few issues with the setting up process. First the unit is light and easy to maneuver into place. Good thing, because there aren't any handles, notches or ridges on the unit with which to pick it up. After getting it place, next step is plugging it in. Piece of cake, right? Not so much. GE offers zero instructions on how to access the power cord for this model. There are two access panels. One on the side with what looks like a three-prong outlet icon and three sheet metal screws fastening the metal panel to the chassis. I went with that one. Nope. That was the compressor access panel. OK, so there's a flip open panel in the rear of the unit. The panel has white lettering on a white background that says something about power code access. But yes, that's the one that you open and maneuver out the bundled power cord, then snap the panel shut. The power cord is a whopping 5.5 feet long. Instead of making the power cord instructions easy to read, GE decided its much more important to have a huge warning label on the side of the unit. If you can't get enough of warning labels, there are more inside the unit and on the rear warning of flammable refrigerant. I guess people are in the habit of smoking while sawing through refrigeration lines. OK, so we can plug it in. Now, the GE manual is very clear about setting it up: "Make sure the temperature control is set at 4." There's only one problem, GE: THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL HAS NO F()#&ING NUMBERS. But I'm sure there are FAQs that address this. Guess again. GE has only generic FAQs that keep us all awake at night, like how do I find the serial number on my appliance. Well, surely GE has made some YouTube videos showing how to set up the unit. Strike three. Zilch, Nada, a big goose egg.
