Product review (5 stars): I'm glad I read the manual because there are other particulars ...
Per reviews and instructions in the manual I let my freezer's fluids settle for at least 2 hours before plugging it in. After plugging it in I let it sit for another 2 hours to allow it to get to the freezing point. I'm glad I read the manual because there are other particulars worth noting.  If your electricity has a blip for less than a minute then you have to unplug your freezer for 2-3 minutes to ensure the compressor will kick back on. Cosmetically my freezer is alright.

There are 2 very slight dings. One I noticed pretty soon because it's by the seal of the door, but this doesn't affect its efficiency at all. The other I noticed after over a week of ownership as I was mopping around it. There is a slight ding on one side. But I really don't think any one will notice it at all.

Many of the negative reviews that I have read about freezers dying within the first year made me nervous about buying one. I will update this review if any problems occur but otherwise you can be sure my freezer is working well.
