Our take on the GE Garage-Ready 5 Cubic Foot Chest Freezer

The GE Garage-Ready 5 Cubic Foot Chest Freezer is a compact chest freezer built to keep food frozen in garages and outbuildings where temperatures swing from 38°F to 110°F. It uses R600a refrigerant and automatic defrost, and its 5 cubic foot tub holds roughly a week of groceries for a small household or a quarter of a beef. Against larger chest freezers it trades capacity for a footprint that fits a garage corner, and against uprights it is cheaper to run but harder to organize. Owners like the garage rating and the simple dial control; the main complaints are that baskets are limited and items get lost at the bottom.

Questions and answers

Does it really work in a hot garage?
Yes. GE rates this freezer for ambient temperatures from 38°F to 110°F, which covers most garages. Keep it out of direct sun and leave clearance around the sides for airflow.
How much food fits in 5 cubic feet?
About 175 pounds of frozen food, roughly a quarter of a beef or several weeks of groceries for one or two people. Plan on stacking and labeling because there is little shelving.
Do I need to defrost it manually?
No. It has automatic defrost, so frost does not build up the way it does in manual chest freezers. The trade-off is that defrost cycles can dry out poorly wrapped food.
Can I add an icemaker?
No. The optional icemaker listed for GE refrigerators is not for this chest freezer. It freezes food only; buy bagged ice or a separate ice maker.
Is it energy efficient?
It uses R600a refrigerant and a small compressor, so it draws little power for its size. Efficiency depends on garage temperature and how full you keep it.
Does it come with baskets?
Expect limited or no hanging baskets on this size. Buy a couple of universal chest freezer baskets if you want to separate small items.
Where is the GE Garage-Ready 5 Cubic Foot Chest Freezer cheapest?
At eBay, for $159.99, 61% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
