Product review (5 stars): I'm very pleased with this freezer.
Excellent little appliance! I was apprehensive after reading several negative reviews before buying this. Those low ratings were a small percentage of the posted reviews, but they were consistently citing shipping damage and noisy operation. I am delighted to report that my freezer was not damaged... despite the presence of a large hole in the box, and the fact that the delivery truck driver ignored the "UP" arrows on the carton. The package was upside down when I received it! I followed the instructions in the manual and allowed the unit to sit in its new location for 4 hours before plugging it in. With the temp selector set to "4" the interior temperature was down to 20 degrees F in about 30 minutes. It's been running now for 24 hours and I can honestly say that it makes no perceptible noise at all.
