Is 4.6 cu. ft. enough for a household?

It suits one or two people or a second freezer. A family that freezes bulk meat, batch cooking or garden produce will likely want more space.

Does the door open to the left?

Yes. The LHD in the model name means a left-hand door hinge, which helps in corners and narrow runs where a right-hinged door would block the way.

Can it be built in under a counter?

The 24-inch width and upright shape suit under-counter and alcove installs. Leave the clearance the manual specifies for airflow, since a freezer needs ventilation to run efficiently.

Check the listing for the defrost type before buying. Many compact upright freezers of this size are manual-defrost, which means periodic thawing.

How does it compare with a chest freezer?

An upright gives easier access and a smaller footprint. A chest freezer of similar capacity holds more and loses less cold air when opened, but takes up more floor space.
