  • Our take on the Magic Chef MCUF3W2

    The Magic Chef MCUF3W2 is a 3.0 cu. ft. freestanding upright freezer with two shelves and a reversible door. It is manual defrost, so you empty it and scrape ice every few months rather than relying on an auto-defrost cycle. At about 20 inches wide and 32 inches tall it fits in tight spots where a chest freezer will not, and the upright layout keeps food reachable without digging. It suits small households, apartment kitchens, garages and overflow storage; against auto-defrost rivals it trades convenience for a simpler, cheaper build.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Magic Chef MCUF3W2 frost-free?
    No. It is manual defrost, so you need to unplug it, empty it and let the ice melt every few months.
    How much food does a 3.0 cu. ft. upright freezer hold?
    Roughly the frozen food for one or two people for a couple of weeks. Two shelves limit bulky items like large roasts.
    Can the door open the other way?
    Yes. The door is rehingeable, so you can set it to open left or right to suit your space.
    Can it go in a garage?
    It is freestanding and UL Listed, but Magic Chef does not rate it for unheated spaces. Check the manual before putting it in a garage that gets very cold or hot.
    Does it need a special outlet?
    It runs on standard 110V household power, so a normal grounded outlet works.
    How does it compare with a chest freezer?
    It takes less floor space and keeps food reachable, but a chest freezer of the same volume holds more and loses less cold air when opened.
    Where is the Magic Chef MCUF3W2 cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $339.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Magic Chef MCUF3W2?
    5 stores we checked sell it, including TWIST, The Twister Group, Best Buy, Staples, Quill.
