Our take on the Koolatron 3.5 Cu Ft Chest Freezer

The Koolatron 3.5 cu ft chest freezer is a compact top-opening freezer for apartments, condos, cottages and garages. Its external thermostat dial runs from 32°F down to -11.2°F, so it can double as a fridge for drinks or hold frozen food long term. A single vinyl-coated wire basket hangs inside and lifts out, and the lid stays open while you load it. It is small even for a chest freezer, with no lock, no interior light and manual defrost, so it suits one or two people or a backup freezer rather than a full household.

Questions and answers

How much food fits in 3.5 cu ft?
Roughly a small household's worth: a few bags of frozen vegetables, several pounds of meat and some batch-cooked meals. It is not enough for a family's weekly shop.
Do I have to defrost it by hand?
Yes. It is manual defrost, so you empty it and let the ice melt every few months, or more often in humid rooms.
Can it be used as a fridge?
The dial goes up to 32°F, so it can hold drinks and fresh food near freezing. It is not a precise refrigerator, so check with a thermometer.
Where can I put it?
It is freestanding and works in a kitchen, apartment, condo, cottage or garage. Leave clearance around the sides for the compressor to shed heat.
Does it come with a basket?
Yes, one removable vinyl-coated wire basket hangs near the top. There are no dividers or extra shelves.
Does it have a lock?
No. There is no lock or key, so keep it out of reach if children or shared-space security are a concern.
Where is the Koolatron 3.5 Cu Ft Chest Freezer cheapest?
At Home Depot, for $271.85, 17% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
