Product review (1 stars): Horrible packaging
Well I saw all the complaints about the poor job of packaging and resultant damage caused by this, and I guess I hoped that I'd dodge that bullet.

Nope

*boom* headshot

Yep, I caught that bullet right between the eyes.

The box arrived with one of the lower corners smashed in, coincidentally right near the compressor, and also with a large oil stain in the same corner.  But I crossed my fingers and installed it anyway.  I let it sit for > 24 hours as per instructions.  And then I plugged it in just a few minutes ago.  It ran for about 7 minutes emitting what seemed like an unusual amount of grinding and hissing noises.  Then it slowed and stopped and I heard a *click* which presumably was the thermal overload relay kicking off.  And now my house is filled with a bit of a burning oil smell.

So.... wonderful, now I get to box this thing back up and wait for UPS to come get it.  You'd really think they'd put more effort into packaging these things well.  Most of the surface of the freezer has nothing protecting it at all.  It's just a 2" air gap and a sheet of cardboard.  Is it truly cheaper for Igloo to scrimp on packaging and eat the loss on all these returns that I'm reading about?
