This freezer is exactly what we were expecting.  Glad that we can put it in the garage as its "garage ready". Love the 4 baskets that came with it, but will probably remove the lower 2 as they can get in the way (yes, there is a lot in my freezer!). The interior light is nice and bright so I can see all the way to the bottom. I like having the Freezer Status Lights on the front, along with the temp dial.  It would be nice if it was self defrosting, but it's really not a big deal. So far, so good.  We have purchased other GE appliances in the last 18 months as well; a range w/cooktop and a mounted microwave.  I've been very pleased with ALL of my GE appliances.
