Product review (5 stars): TOTALLY & REALLY pleased with this freezer!
just arrived so this review is on the shipping, packaging and overall look of the unit. I'm posting this now because I REALLY went back and forth about spending the extra $$ to get THIS model instead of the #1 best seller on amazon that had some great reviews and was priced around $178.00 with free shipping. BUT after reading reviews about how many times the unit was damaged INSIDE a perfectly undamaged box, I decided to go with this one, although a few ppl mentioned this one too was damaged IN the box.
well mine came in perfect shape. looks REALLY nice and I am very happy so far. because it was on its side in the truck we are waitng to turn it on until later this evening, as we have heard that's better for the Freon, etc. that's all I have for now.
2 days later update: turned on and put foods in, set at 4 and ready to go. the unit is running perfectly and is mostly quiet. I'm very pleased with my purchase so far.

2 years later, still going strong, no issues what-so-ever.  a perfect purchase (O:
Update: Aug 15, 2016 still working and running GREAT so glad I bought this one!! its quiet (and its been HOT here this summer) and everything inside is frozen rock solid. no issues what-so-ever!
