My kitchen fridge has a small top freezer . That combined with a 3 cu ft freezer in the basement still does not add up to the space I need . This Koolatron freezer will replace the tired old " mini freezer " in the basement and now when there is a sale on my favorite freezable entree`s , ground beef ( chili ! ) and beef chuck roasts ( stew ) steaks , etc... , I can load up and save money and everybody likes that !
