Good freezer but needs an interior light.

It's a good basic freezer if you don't have much space. The corner I put it in has limited depth and this was the only brand that would fit there. A recent storm knocked out power for 60hrs and nothing perished. I'da gave it 5 stars if it had an interior light though. It needs a light.
I would recommend this to a friend!

C'mon, GE, Really?? Ever heard of beta testing?
on November 2, 2024
Posted by: DIY_Dave
from Monroe, WA
I haven't even plugged it in, yet, but we'll get started with just a few issues with the setting up process. First the unit is light and easy to maneuver into place. Good thing, because there aren't any handles, notches or ridges on the unit with which to pick it up. After getting it place, next step is plugging it in. Piece of cake, right? Not so much. GE offers zero instructions on how to access the power cord for this model. There are two access panels. One on the side with what looks like a three-prong outlet icon and three sheet metal screws fastening the metal panel to the chassis. I went with that one. Nope. That was the compressor access panel. OK, so there's a flip open panel in the rear of the unit. The panel has white lettering on a white background that says something about power code access. But yes, that's the one that you open and maneuver out the bundled power cord, then snap the panel shut. The power cord is a whopping 5.5 feet long. Instead of making the power cord instructions easy to read, GE decided its much more important to have a huge warning label on the side of the unit. If you can't get enough of warning labels, there are more inside the unit and on the rear warning of flammable refrigerant. I guess people are in the habit of smoking while sawing through refrigeration lines. OK, so we can plug it in. Now, the GE manual is very clear about setting it up: "Make sure the temperature control is set at 4." There's only one problem, GE: THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL HAS NO F()#&ING NUMBERS. But I'm sure there are FAQs that address this. Guess again. GE has only generic FAQs that keep us all awake at night, like how do I find the serial number on my appliance. Well, surely GE has made some YouTube videos showing how to set up the unit. Strike three. Zilch, Nada, a big goose egg.

Response from geappliances.comBy Charlie, GE_Appliances, November 5, 2024
We're sorry to hear about your experience while setting up this unit. We want to provide some clarification on the temperature control. Some chest freezer models have a dial with settings from MAX (maximum) to MIN (minimum) or Cold to Coldest. The normal safe freezing level is obtained by setting the control to the midpoint on the dial. For more information, please refer at this link here:

Good footprint for condo

from Kirkland Wa
We replaced an older GE with this one. The other had served us well for many years. We liked this one even better for footprint size in our condo. We trust it will serve our needs for many years too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great
on January 3, 2023
Posted by: Coto Mike
from Coto de Caza, CA
Just bought this a month ago and so far, very pleased. Fits perfectly in my garage. Hopefully in six months or so, when it comes time to defrost, the process will be easy. I did buy a temp gage (which I hang from the basket) so I can monitor the temp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just got it today but it arrived in good condition due to good packing. The unit is running on max and you can hardly hear it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice size
on February 17, 2023
Posted by: long wait
from Trumbull CT
We purchased and spent more for what we believe is a "Garage Ready" but there is no indication on the freezer chest or in the instruction booklet that specifies that is the type of chest we received. We are experiencing a very mild winter this year so there is no way of knowing if it will hold up under extreme conditions. However, we are happy that it is pretty spacious inside and doesn't take up a lot of space in the garage.:)
I would recommend this to a friend!
