We upgraded to this "Garage Model" GE Chest Freezer - We asked for as large as possible chest freezer but this one does not as much space in it as the one we had hauled away by our local appliance sales company but definitely heavy duty. Our last chest freezer was a GE also and was still working (15 years) when we purchased this one. We felt it was time and did not want a failure with a full freezer of fish, sea food & meat.
