Product review (3 stars): don't make them like they use to
I bought this 17 cu ft freezer and it didn't work properly out of the box. The freezer wouldn't freeze and the control panel started shorting out.  I had to make a warranty claim within the first day of owning this freezer.  The repairman put a new control panel in and that did the trick. I read online that this is a common problem with upright freezers so I recommend to buy from a reputable dealer.  The name brand won't matter because they are all the same model freezers.  I believe they are all made by Frigidaire. I probably should have just bought a used one that was made before I was born since that is the last time quality products were made. I will have to say that the shelves on the door are very flimsy and this thing runs almost non stop.  I purchased the extended warranty through Frigidaire for $60 so I know that this thing will work for at least 3 years.  I also read that Frigidaire's customer service is pretty bad so you may want to look elsewhere.
