We had to replace our old freezer after 30 plus years. I found this one at a local independent appliance store. It is a little smaller than our last freezer, but it is doing a great job.
Have always wanted an Upright Freezer and am quite happy in purchasing this one. So far everything has worked great and only have to shop for frozen food once a month----such a wonderful appliance.
I can not open the door of this freezer. Very difficult to get to the food inside. You have to almost pull freezer on top of yourself and insert your fingers in the gasket to open the door.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
