I bought this about a month ago when I began to run out of space to store the excess breast milk that my wife was pumping. I had a 5cuft freezer for maybe 5 years that I thought was pretty good. It was just a basic cheap as they come freezer and it's temperature fluctuation could be pretty bad. It would routinely swing 10 degrees. I thought this was normal due to the wild temp swings of ambient air here. Well this freezer has a swing of 2 degrees. Also it's super quiet compared to my old one. O have to get down really close to the compressor to hear it running (which isn't very often). Plus it has wheels!
