Product review (5 stars): Great freezer, perfect for our needs.
We bought the Danby compact chest freezer last month, and I love it!  It is very lightweight, and I could easily help my husband lift it up the eight steps to our kitchen door.  There are even two wheels on the back to help move it.  There is also a power indicator light and a drain plug near the bottom.  The inside volume of 7.1 cubic feet is the perfect size for two adults and two teenagers.  It is small enough to fit into the pantry space between our kitchen and dining room, saving me a trip to the basement every time I need something from it.

The start-up instructions in the manual said to run the freezer at its coldest setting for 3-4 hours when we first plugged it in.  It was cold enough after two.  This is a very quiet appliance. I can hardly hear it running!

This freezer has already paid for itself when I consider the money it has saved us.  Shopping and meal planning is no longer limited by the small freezer above the refrigerator.  I buy ingredients in bulk, and this freezer can handle it.  I never have to worry again about bugs ruining a 50 lb bag of flour.  When I buy cases of fresh produce from the farmers market, I can bring it home, wash it, cut it, and freeze it so that it is ready to cook on a busy weeknight.  With all that, I can still prep freezer meals weeks in advance.

To monitor the temperature more closely, I do wish it came with a separate thermometer to clip onto one of the wire baskets inside.  I don't mind buying one, but it would have been a good idea to include one.
