This replaced my old Kenmore freezer which had to be defosted several times per year. What a joy to open this GE and realize every time that I no longer have to worry about that. It's also very, very quiet, can't even hear it running. The two adjustable shelves come in very handy for storing taller items. The lower sliding basket is GENIUS as I no longer have to kneel down to get to items in the bottom of the unit. Also, putting the controls on the front of the door is a brilliant idea! I can see the status at a glance now. Great job GE!
