Our take on the Insignia 7.1 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer

The Insignia 7.1 cu. ft. upright convertible freezer switches between freezer and refrigerator duty with a mechanical dial, and it is rated to run in a garage through hot summers and cold winters. Its inverter compressor and ENERGY STAR rating keep running costs low for its size. Glass shelves, a bottom drawer and a reversible door make it easier to organize than a chest freezer, though it needs manual defrosting. It suits households that want overflow frozen storage or a second fridge without paying for a full-size unit.

Questions and answers

Can it really go in a garage?
Yes. It is garage ready, rated to keep working through hot summers and cold winters that would stop a standard freezer.
How often do I need to defrost it?
It is manual defrost, so plan to empty and defrost it roughly once or twice a year, or sooner if ice builds up on the walls.
Can I use it as a refrigerator?
Yes. The convertible dial lets you run it as a fridge instead of a freezer, which is handy for drinks and overflow groceries.
How much food fits inside?
The 7.1 cu. ft. interior with five glass shelves and a bottom drawer holds roughly a week of groceries for a family or a season of bulk meat.
Which way does the door open?
The door hinge is reversible, so it can open left or right to suit your space.
Does it need special wiring?
No. It runs on standard 115-volt household power and plugs into a normal outlet.
