It worked well right out of the box. Put all of it's contents into a very fast solid freeze. Biggest letdown of this product is the frost buildup. Had I known it would frost up so heavily and quickly, I would have purchased frost free freezer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to review your freezer. We certainly understand your concern about the frost buildup and do apologize. The troubleshooting section on page 12 of the manual provides some explanations on what causes excessive frost and how to solve it.
We have all GE appliances in our kitchen and have been a fan for years. When our nearly-30-yr old freezer failed, it was obvious that we should choose a GE freezer as a replacement. So far we've really liked the new unit, with the interior lighting, plenty of interior space, and lower rim than our old freezer. The lights on the front are very helpful as our old one didn't have them so we couldn't tell when it was failing - now we can always be sure that our freezer is working and our food is safe!
I’ve had good luck with GE products so far. Not one service required. They worked well as expected and the prices and efficiency were great. This chest freezer was just what I hoped for with plenty of useable space and energy efficiency.
Set up was very simple. Full set of features for a smaller unit, internal light, external run and temp light, audible alarm. Great Consumer Report reviews. I bought a freezer thermometer, and the temperature is constant. Perfect size for my needs, holds more than expected.
