we live in an apartment, but this deep freezer does not take up space like we thought. It is worth every penny. I recommend this product.

What's great about it: size, price
What's not so great: frost builds up around where backets slide on lip of freezer
It was the perfect item for our small family needs. It is our first freezer and we are still adjusting to having extra frozen foods/treats on hand rather than having to run out to the store.

What's great about it: Size
What's not so great: Doesn't Work
It Took Four Weeks to get it, Than when it got here it didn't Work. I have to wait another Two Weeks for a Good Replacement. But, from what I See it is Great if it worked. It will Hold Everything I need and It will do the Job.
It Seems that "GE" has a Problem with Production. They Don't Test their Products before they Ship the Product.

What's great about it: Quiet and cost effective
What's not so great: Nothing, so far
I have had this freezer for about three months now and it has been a good investment. It has ample space and is very quiet. The baskets that are included are nice, and there is enough room to add two milk crate size containers to keep things organized and easy to access. So far, it has been a good addition to my meal planning because I can prepare food in quantity, store them neatly, which reduces my monthly grocery bill. Delivery was quick and they were very courteous and helpful.

What's great about it: Well built. Easy to use. Very good value. Economical.
What's not so great: Basic features - not high end
We needed an extra freezer as overspill in the garage, and this seemed like a cost-effective one with good review. Having set it up it works very fine. Pretty quiet. Internal layout is good, and door works well. Pretty basic, but does the job nicely. Very good value.

What's great about it: So energy efficient
What's not so great: hmm, it doesn't come in designer colors
I filled it with all the stuff from my 16 ft upright freezer PLUS all the food from my last shopping trip and it all fits in this tiny 7 cu. ft chest freezer. I have been waiting for something like this. I was able to buy sooooo many food items at a great sale price and they all easily fit. With all the items I bought on sale I managed to save at least $10, thanks to this little guy. And it only takes about $2.50 of electricity per month. The savings are really nice. Not only that, but I put the temperature setting on 4 (7 is the coldest) and a freezer thermometer registerd a temperatue of -12 degrees. Food will last a long time at this cold. This thing is worth every penny I spent.

What's great about it: Really cold and compact, excellent price
this is a great little chest freezer for extra storage. it is REALLY cold even on the low setting. The only thing I have noticed so far is that there is a fair amount of frost at the top around the edge. Mostly where the interior baskets hang. My guess is the seal isn't 100% in these areas? Our primary use is to store extra food when we go on costco expeditions. Our freezer in the kitchen is far too small for buying in bulk. According to the energy tag, it is only supposed to cost 3-4 bucks a month to run it...I havne't gotten my next electric bill yet, but I will do another posting if something comes up. I recommend this freezer if you are looking for some extra storage space!

What's great about it: price and setup
We have had ours for a year and have had no probs with it. I have been very happy with the settings and have not lost food over it.
All major appliances use a higher capacity of AMPS. I do not recommend putting this on a GFI (GFCI). You would not put your fridge, microwave or even a stove on one. This is common sense. I do not think the review prior to mine should have been listed with bad reviews due to their error. A GFI is not just a surge protector, but more so to keep you from over loadding the line. He should have changed the plug. I think there is more to the story than they cared to share.

What's great about it: 2 baskets, very cold, lots of space
What's not so great: Bad smell when new
The only bad thing I have to say is for the first few days this freezer didn't smell very good, because it was new. It's INCREDIBLY cold - we are still playing with the temperature setting, but the manual recommended setting it to 4 (out of 7) - At 4, ice cream was frozen rock solid. It's still solid at 2.5. We've moved it down to 1.5 to see how that goes. It's incredibly quiet, also - due to space constraints, we have this freezer in our bedroom, and we hardly notice it at all. One of my favorite features is that it has 2 baskets, when most freezers this size only have 1.
As to the poster complaining about issues with GE, just because the manual doesn't say you can't do something doesn't mean it's a good idea!! If he was so concerned he should have called an electrician. I don't think his experience was worth the very negative rating he gave this product so, potential buyers, please don't be scared by it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Terrible Warranty Support
We put this freezer in our basement. The only outlet we had was a GFI, so I read the manual to see if there was any reason not to plug it into a GFI. There was nothing about plugging the freezer into a GFI in the manual. (For those of you who don't know GFI is, it is the type of outlet you have in your bathroom to create a shorter circuit so that when you drop your hair dryer into the sink you don't die. It's a circuit breaker, just at the wall instead out at your circuit breaker box.) And after putting a little food in it and going on vacation it tripped the GFI. We lost about $500 of food and we can't get the awful smell out of it. And here is where the story begins....
GE support sent a technician out to look at our freezer. He confirmed the awful smell, and plugged it in to see if if was running (and it was). He told me that I shouldn't plug it into a GFI. When I told him there was nothing in the manual he understood why I was upset. A day later GE support called me back to tell me that they would give us a "deal" of $167.50 for a new freezer (plus a shipping fee). They then informed us that we had 30 days to accept their offer (even with eight months left on the warranty) and that it was their final offer. They said that it wasn't covered because it was plugged into a GFI. I explained that the manual said nothing about GFI. They said that the manual says you have to plug it into a regular outlet. After some back and forth I asked the tech if he knew what a GFI was and he fully admitted that he didn't. I asked for his manager, which turned out the be the manager who made the decision. After talking with her a while I asked her if she knew what a GFI was and she immediately admitted that she didn't know. I got the customer service from Ultimate Electronics (where I got it from) involved). Finally GE technical support admitted that they weren't technical and would have an engineer call me. The tech who came out to us called me and we had a very short conversation because we understood each other, and, more importantly, he understood why it should be replaced. Ultimate called GE on my behalf, but they wouldn't give us anything more than this offer. The offer didn't include their shipping fee which would make it more expensive than what we originally paid. The very friendly and helpful Ultimate representative didn't know what to do to help me but they were more than willing to do what they could. A GFI won't trip unless there is a power surge from a device plugged into it. The only thing plugged into this GFI outlet was the freezer.
So we lost $500 worth of food and have a ruined $200 freezer after a couple months of use because GE won't stand behind their product. So we'll go out of our way to avoid buying any GE products after how much this $200 freezer cost us.
Bottom line, I hope you never have to call GE if this freezer fails. GE Support Case #10260539. Honestly, this is the worst customer service I think I've ever had.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great temp range!
I thought the staff at Eagan Best Buy were great getting me this freezer. It isn't in stores, so I went and ordered it through the store and picked it up. No shipping and it was on sale for 1 cent less than online. If you need a chest freezer for milk or deer meat this is the one to buy. Much better than fridgiaire.
