Have only had it for a little while. It was ready to use in only 2 hours on a midrange setting. I don't need "deep freeze", so I'll bet it's great for that too.

This is a great little freezer, it worked perfectly out of the box. The packaging was well designed, there was no damage whatsoever. Another nice feature is that it can be converted to a refrigerator if wanted. Well worth the great price.

Im not a fan of chest freezers but this one works great and keeps everything frozen if i cant find anything.

Really like this freezer. I need ice packs for orthopedic pain and this freezer freezes the ice packs better than our stand up deep freezer

I needed to replace a 60-year-old chest freezer that my family had while I was growing up and is just too big for my needs now. This freezer seemed perfect for my needs, as I was waiting on about 200 pounds of beef. After reading other reviews, it appeared that the only complaint people really had was damage during delivery (which is often the case when shipping with FedEx), I decided to pick this up at my local Sam’s Club. It fit perfectly in my small SUV. But since I had to lay it in its back for about 20 minutes, I waited a couple of days to plug it in. It’s perfect. Just the right size, I even had room for the food items that I still had in the old freezer and my dog food order for the month. Looks great. Works extremely well. It says “garage ready”, so we will see how it fairs on my enclosed porch this winter. I definitely recommend.

I like the interior finish. It's metallic instead of the cheap white plastic that always cracks and breaks. The exterior black is very nice too. No fancy defrost function that you don't need and dries out the food. It's just a basic nonsense freezer.

Well it’s a great buy for the price. However as soon as I unboxed it and plugged it in I noticed frost and condensation formed on the opposite side of the seal from the basket inside. I don’t know why this happened but I placed the basket down inside the freezer away from its intended spot up at the top. Problem solved.

I wanted to share my experience with Sam.com. When the chest freezer arrived from the warehouse, it appeared to have been previously returned. As a result, I am hesitant to place future orders through Sam.com, and my family shares this sentiment. I apologize for providing this feedback, but I felt it was important to share my concerns about the product's condition.

Good price , FedEx damaged two different freezers. Rolled to my door and left upside down. Sam’s says I cannot return. I believe Sam’s purposely makes it hard to speak to actual person in customer service.

Worked for one week then stopped cooling. Lost over $200 in meat and probably another $200 since this item has to be returned to manufacturer at my expense
