Our take on the Antarctic Star 1.8 Cu.ft Chest Freezer with 2 Baskets

The Antarctic Star 1.8 cu.ft chest freezer is a compact, UL-listed box freezer with two hanging baskets and a manual dial that holds roughly -7.6°F to 6.8°F. It is about 20 inches wide and 24 inches tall, so it fits under a counter or in a closet, and it uses around 100 kWh a year. It suits small households, dorm rooms, garages and anyone who needs overflow frozen storage without floor space. Against larger chest freezers it trades capacity for a small footprint, and its manual defrost and dial control are simpler than the electronic controls on pricier rivals.

What reviewers say

  • 4.4 / 5100 ratings

Owners rate it well as a secondary freezer, praising its size, quiet running and low power draw. Complaints center on manual defrost and the small capacity.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners like that it slips into tight spots and holds more than expected for its footprint.
  • NoisePraisedSeveral say it runs quietly enough to keep in a room or office.
  • DefrostingCriticisedManual defrost is the main gripe; ice builds up and has to be cleared by hand.
  • BasketsPraisedThe two baskets are called useful for keeping small items from sinking to the bottom.
  • CapacityMixedFine as extra storage, but owners say it is too small to be a main freezer.

Questions and answers

Is 1.8 cu.ft enough for one person?
Yes for a single person's frozen food, ice and leftovers. A family will likely need a larger chest or upright freezer.
Does it need to be defrosted?
Yes. It is manual defrost, so ice builds up over time and you empty it and let it thaw, usually once or twice a year.
Can it go in a garage?
It is UL listed and runs on 120 V, but check the ambient temperature where you place it. Very cold garages can affect how the thermostat holds temperature.
How much space does it need around it?
Leave at least 2 inches of clearance at the back and sides for airflow.
What comes in the box?
The freezer and two hanging baskets. A power cord is attached; no separate drain hose or lock is included.
How cold does it get?
The dial ranges from about -7.6°F to 6.8°F, so it can run as a deep freezer or a milder frozen-storage box.
