-40°F-Low Temp Chest Freezer, 3.5 Cu Ft Deep Freezer with 2 Removable Baskets, Ideal for Beaded Ice Cream, Seafood, Meat & Long-Term & Frozen Storage

I got the red ultra-low temp freezer that reaches -40F. It is great! Here is info for how to use it! This upgraded freezer has the temperature screen with the Lock and Freeze lights, and the buttons for -, +, and Snowflake Freeze (not the red light button some other reviews mention). Came greatly packed! Let it stand vertically for some hours or a day. Then plug in. To set temperature, press + and - simultaneously for about 3 seconds until lock light is off then you can set temp (press - to go as low as -40 F). After that in about 40 seconds the lock light comes on again (if you need to set temp again do the above again). First time you plug it in and it is empty , the temp shown on the little screen might move up and down as it settles, do not worry , it takes about a few hours for it to settle. You can check it works (cools well) by getting a low temp thermometer (eg Escali AHF2 Shatter Proof Glass Refrigerator Freezer Thermometer with Suction Cups, Safe Temperature Indications, Fridge and Freezer Temperature Zones NSF Certified) and put it inside, it will show this freezer reaches the temp you set, as low as-40 F, as I have checked. Which is great! Two more fyi: the freeze light is on only when you use quick-freeze mode (which you set as follows: unlock (see above the 3sec unlock procedure) then press Snowflake Freeze Button)-in the quickfreeze mode the compressor works all the time but it is extremely quiet. Second Fyi: if you want to ensure the top is very well closed such that no outside moisture goes inside (eg avoid any ice formation inside), put some books on the top of the freezer to make sure it is pressed down well. All in all, this Freezer is great and at a really affordable price point for such a quiet freezer that reaches -40 F!

Rest, assured, I will update this review when I have had it more than the four days (14 days now, still good) we have had it. - undamaged upon delivery. Maybe they responded to reviewers complaints, because it came very thoroughly cosseted in styrofoam. Since I am the big eater in our household, I am always crowding my wife’s stuff into a corner of the refrigerator's freezer compartment. She can’t find the ice cream or chicken fettuccine or whatever, covered as it is by hotdogs, bacon, and tubs of homemade spaghetti sauce. This will solve the problem, I think. We shall see. - I Just let it sit as advised for the first 11 hours with power off to let any fluids settle. - Turned it on and set it to the “medium“ number of four as recommended to start. - very quiet indeed. If you’re hearing isn’t that good, you know the compressor is on because the green light on the front goes on. - Working temperature is supposed to be reached within 24 hours. The walls were freezing within three hours. this was at an external temperature of 64° F. I worry that the insulation might be somewhat insufficient. I am tempted to wrap it an extra insulation, but that could cover the heat exchange coils and defeat their purpose.I have settled by throughing a couple of heavy foam pads atop the lid. It seems to be efficient enough as it is. It has stayed near 3.5 F ° for days now at a setting one number warmer than medium. As I said, I will jump right on it with an update if there are any problems. Reading the reviews– it seems that reliability can be a problem in a somewhat random way. I am hoping that I am one of the satisfied customers. p.s. I didn’t tell my wife that I purchased it. It’s stashed in a corner of the garage (we live in a mild climate) and so far she hasn’t even noticed it. It’s that inconspicuous.

I've had this freezer for a while now, and it's still running great. It's a nice size, not too bulky or taking up too much space, and holds quite a few things. It's very sturdy and looks nice anywhere you'd put it, and can even be decorated with magnets or other ways if wanted. The seal is great, and I don't notice any leaks in it, and it doesn't seem to even be too much of a drain on power. Easy to use and also defrost, and I am glad I got it.

I’m never inclined to leave 5 stars, so that’s why it’s 4. I purchased the 1.8sq ft freezer, it came early, which was a bonus. The packaging had a some chemical looking things, which made me worry about the freezer inside. When opening it up, the freezer was actually wrapped very well, no dents, a lot of styrofoam protection. The internal measurements are off from the dimensions picture from the product pictures, the entire hight of the inside is around 17in, not 9.8, the little elevated area is 9.8in. Everything else is good. The seal seemed to be good as well, put a dollar bill inside and pulled on it, on the corners and closer to the hinge is where the seal was the best (hardest to remove the bill from), the middle sections of all the sides, the bill slid out easier, but still required some force. The bill did not slide out if no force was applied. DID NOT YET TEST THE FREEZER YET. Apparently you should wait 24 hrs max to allow the oil inside to settle to the bottom, so after it settles, I’ll update this review! Hope this helps!

My husband and kids love their sushi! He has learned to make it at home with them and so he did some researched and learned that the temp of the sushi needs to be well below zero. We have it in our storage room and so far, so good. I had some concerns it was going to be an energy hog, but haven’t seen any reflection of that on our electric bill.

As advertised works well. Kept things frozen.

Freezer died from normal use just after owning it for 2 months. Woke up one morning and smelt rotted meat from the garage. Lost an entire month's worth of food. Thought I was getting good value, but turns out it was just cheap. I'm surprised this has such good reviews.

It has been almost three years and I love this chest freezer!! Great look and great amount of space for everything!! Great Item!!
