I got rid with no regrets at all of my chest frezeer having problems 25 years ago for a Liebherr (quality German Brand) upright 7 drawer frost freezer and in all these years I had ZERO PROBLEMS...and enjoyed the drawers easy and perfect organization that you can get .... do Just normal maintenance with manual defrost when ice build up half /one inch once 6/12 months and it will last trouble free at least 30 years..... The upright frost free freezer have a much more complicated defrost sistem with sensors/heater ant timers that can have problems after 4/6 years.. and the electricity bills are higher...). My only suggestion is to have 2/3 freezer themometers (one on the top drawer, one in the middle and one in the bottom drawer), so you can set the termostat on the top of the freeze (1 to 7) at the correct temperature required .... One final consideration about the upright freezers...THE ONES in the market WITHOUT DRAWERS in 2024 ARE A NON SENSE . A LOT OF ENERGY WAISTED EVERY TIME YOU OPEN THE DOOR !!!!
Thanks for posting! As said before, dimensions of the drawers would be great. Also, detailing the motor spec's Volts and Amps would be nice from the back of the unit. Do you have it on a separate circuit in the basement or with everything else that is powered? Thanks again for doing this review! :)
In the video when you removed the top drawer, it looked like there’s an actual wire shelf underneath it, is that true/correct? I do not need all of the drawers and would like a couple shelves so I’m wondering if I could remove a couple drawers to have the shelves that I’d like
We just bought this freezer but the panel in back is missing. where the compressor is and the cord comes out from lower back side. There are screw holes also so is it missing or is it ok without the panel?
I just bought one at Costco a week ago. For Manual Defrost, I don't remember if it has any instructions for that, so how do I perform Manual Defrost: Do I take everything out and have the door open, and put all the foods back into the Freezer after it is Defrosted?
Unplug it, I use hot boiling water (about 2cups) and pour around the freezer. Ice will melt in seconds. Wipe down (towels on floor). You are done. Put food back in freezer😊
Hi just bought mine. just plugged it for the first time… All good but the out side sides are very very hot…just. Within minutes…is that normal ?? Thank you !
I didn’t notice that with mine but perhaps it won’t be hot on the outside once the freezer has reached operating interior temperature and equilibriated.
Does your compressor make noise? I bought the same one from Costco but the compressor on it makes NO noise but the freezer is working. I’m just curious. Thanks
Thank you for the review. How much did it cost you? I am trying to compare prices but since I am not a Costco member yet, I am not able to see the price. Thank you!

Very satisfied with this model from Costco, purchased 6 mo ago...will buy another for the same in-store price of 299.
What are the interior dimension of the drawers? How tall of an item can I fit in there and what is the LxW at the bottom specifically?

I bought one and now the drawer’s broken and i can’t find another can you tell me if i can find?

Yes there are wire shelves underneath! Didn’t realize until now!
How often do you need to manually defrost it and how big of a pain is it to do that?
I’ve had the freezer for a year and haven’t had to manually defrost it yet.
@@ViratPatelYT Thank you! can I ask is it in a hot, cool, controlled environment?
@@philribaudo4126it’s in my non climate controlled basement.

I have the same question, so may be this is the way it is!
where to buy
Can I use it as a fridge by setting it to level 1 or 2? Don’t want to freeze I have a deep freezer for that purpose
No, even at that setting, things will freeze.
I just bought one at Costco a week ago. For Manual Defrost, I don't remember if it has any instructions for that, so how do I perform Manual Defrost: Do I take everything out and have the door open, and put all the foods back into the Freezer after it is Defrosted?

Yes that’s how I would do it.
@@JeanDudley-m1l Thank you for the tip.
It's a lot of work.
Is this available in frost free?
@@LynnPage-j7o Not this model in Costco.
Is it garage ready?
Yes it is. Just bought one yesterday and it has a sticker on it that says it is garge ready. It can withstand 0 degrees to 110 degrees.
What is the recommended temperature setting should it be on?
Depends on how often you open it. I don’t open it often, I have it on 2.

Mine broke after 2 weeks 😢
Costco has 3 month warranty on all major appliances
Costco took it back without a problem.
purchased in May and burnt up in August not even 3 months old and lost over $1,000 worth of food
Oh man, that sucks!
Frosts up in a cpl weeks
Interesting. Mine has been plugged in for about 7-8 months now without any frost.
Come on put the outdoor price on the son of a guns. Why aren't you putting a price out there? What you paid for i
I paid $349 plus tax for this shipped to my house
In-store price is $299.

You don’t need the panel. It’s cosmetic
Thanks for the quick response. Did your freezer come with the panel though?
