- Is this freezer manual defrost?
- Yes. Frost builds up on the interior walls and you defrost it by hand, so plan to empty and clean it a few times a year.
- Can it be used in a garage?
- It runs on standard 115V power and many owners use it as a garage or basement overflow freezer, but check the ambient temperature range in the manual before placing it in an unheated space.
- Does the door lock?
- Yes, the door has a lock, which owners use to keep children out of the freezer.
- How does it compare with a chest freezer?
- It takes less floor space and keeps food at eye level, but a chest freezer of the same volume holds bulkier items and usually needs defrosting less often.
- What can I fit inside?
- The adjustable shelves suit boxed food, frozen meals and upright containers. Bulk items and large roasts fit less easily than in a chest freezer.
- Which way does the door open?
- The door is right-hinged and swings open to the right, so leave clearance on that side.
