Overview

Lifting the top lid opens a single compartment with a removable wire basket. An external temperature dial and a power light sit on the outside, and a drain handles water during defrosting.

It is built for a garage or basement where the room temperature swings, and the thermostat lets it work as a fridge instead. Outside controls mean the lid stays closed while adjusting. The limit is manual defrosting and a small interior.

Who it's for

Someone adding a little overflow freezer space in a non-climate-controlled room. A buyer who dislikes defrosting by hand should consider a frost-free upright.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Garage ready operating range
  • Converts between freezer and fridge
  • External temperature control
  • Removable storage basket
Cons
  • Manual defrost required
  • One basket only
  • Frost-free option not offered

Performance notes

The thermostat sets the temperature, and freezer mode is rated for a wide range of room temperatures. Cooling mode has a narrower working range. Frost builds on the walls over time and must be cleared by hand through the drain.
