- How much food does the BCFK356 hold?
- It has 3.5 cu. ft. of space, roughly enough for a small family's overflow frozen goods or a quarter of a cow. A wire basket keeps smaller items within reach.
- Does it need to be defrosted?
- Yes. It is manual defrost, so frost builds up over time and you must empty it and melt the ice by hand, usually once or twice a year.
- Can it go in a garage or unheated space?
- It is a freestanding unit, but Black & Decker rates it for indoor use. Very cold or hot garages can affect performance, so check the manual for the allowed ambient range.
- Does it have a lock or light?
- No. There is no lock, no interior light, and no power-on indicator, so you may want a separate thermometer or alarm.
- How loud is it?
- Owners generally call it quiet, comparable to a refrigerator hum. It is not silent, but most say it is unobtrusive in a kitchen or basement.
- What are its dimensions?
- It measures about 23.4 inches wide, 33.5 inches high, and 21.7 inches deep, and weighs roughly 53 lb. Measure your space and allow clearance for the lid to open.
- Where is the Black & Decker BCFK356 cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $257.99, as of our latest check.
