I bought this freezer after our old one was starting to go out. Our old freezer (which was probably 25+ years old) said it was a 23.7 cu. ft. freezer. I was sceptical about buying a smaller one until I saw it and it actually seems quite a bit bigger! I really like the LED light as it makes it so much easier to find things in the freezer and the sliding baskets make it easy to completely fill the bottom but still have access to everything easily! I am hoping this freezer lasts as long as the other one did but for now I am quite happy with it!
