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
- Garage ready operating range
- Converts between freezer and fridge
- External temperature control
- Removable storage basket
- 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.
