i am on my second unit at this timethe first one had interior denting and very damaged packaging which had me think that its poor freezing performance  barely got below zero  was due to mishandling either during shipping or poor handling by a previous owner item i purchased was supposedly newalso noted is there are only two leveling feet opposite these is essentially a metal bar running across the depth of the unit depending on floor unevenness there is more that a fair chance a shim will be required to properly level i am forced to use a shimsecond unit is in good condition  packaging and physical unit after allowing it to settle and dialing it on i was shocked to see that at 34 of maximum freezing i could only achieve a shade under zero with the freezer 34 full at near maximum setting the bottom of freezer achieved 4 while the top would not go below zeroi examined seals on the lid and they did not appear to leak what i did notice was in placing my hand on top of the closed lid it was cold  not cool but cold i believe in an effort to cut more costs midea skimped on sufficient lid insulation which accounts for my temperature loss and unnecessary additional electric expensei am going to keep this unit as i have hundreds of dollars in food i need to maintain if i get a year out of this thing ill be okay i supposenot sure where all the reviews about arctic temperatures of this freezer came from perhaps years past before the cost cutting but ive been through two units and theyre both junki am offering three stars because for many a maximum temperature of zero may be all thats needed however for those looking for consistent deep freezer like temperatures i would not recommend this unit
