This is NOT a review about performance of the item but rather a comment concerning the ITEM DESCRIPTION. THIS IS NOT A GARAGE READY UNIT as advertised by Amazon and Danby. Owners manual that came with my unit clearly states this item is for IN HOUSE USE ONLY and NOT suitable for use in a garage or on an outdoor patio. This has been confirmed by an email to me directly from Danby Customer Service. Hopefully this will be corrected in the item description by Amazon and Danby. If you recently purchased this unit go back to Amazon and get a partial refund on the full purchase price. I did and they were very helpful with the problem.UNIT IN SERVICE REVIEW. The temp. control was a little difficult to get set within the range I wanted. Target was Zero degrees F down to negative -8 degrees F. There were no numbers on the temp control dial. Only a light blue thin line for a high temp setting changing to a dark blue wider line for a lower temp setting. By putting a battery operated remote temp sensor inside the freezer and pairing it with a digital table top display it took me the better part of a day and a half, off and on, to where I could get it set to a fairly consistent range of negative -0.3/-0.2 F high temp to a negative -7.2 F low temp. After monitoring the temp (food in the freezer) with the remote over the course of several days it stayed consistently in that range so I decided to stop making adjustments. Cycle times for the cooling rate have remained consistent. Time to cool (unit running) ranged between 27-38 minutes to go from a high of -0.2/-0.3 to a low of -7.2 F. Idle time (unit off) ranged between 23-24 minutes to go from a negative -7.2 low to a high of negative -0.2/-0.3 F. This has been monitored over a period of 5-6 days with 25-30 lbs. of frozen food in the freezer and at a room temp that varied between 70 and 76 degrees F. Still plenty of space to add more items in the freezer.Two Regrets:The unit is not Energy Star rated but I knew that when I made the purchase. I'm positive this is going to increase my utility cost but I'll live with it.When the unit shuts down at the low set temp (-7.2) the time it takes to get to the high temp setting (-0.2/-0.3) is consistently in the 23-24 minute range. But the time needed to reach the low temp setting (-7.2) from the high temp setting (-0.2/-0.3) increases drastically with only a slight change of a few degrees in the room temp.Had the temp setting been easier to adjust and the unit would have been able to hold the cold temp setting for a longer period of time instead of having to restart the cooling cycle every 23-24 minutes it would get 4 stars.I can't speak to how quickly the unit cools down the contents. I believe the manual lists a cooling rate of 8 lbs in 24 hrs. When I first loaded the freezer it was with food already frozen from my refrig freezer unit. Additional room temp items that were added later were placed with an unfrozen item between two previously frozen items "sandwiched" in layers. I did not monitor the time it took to get back to the set temp of negative 7.2 degrees F after loading the unfrozen items.Having said all of that, if you need some additional in-house freezer capacity, the convenience of an upright design and don't want to spend a small fortune for full size freezer this is the unit to buy.

So I've defrosted this freezer twice in my 5 years of ownership. Only builds up on the top section. It's quiet, works great and very easy to move during defrost, which was a breeze. All my purchases in Amazon (over 200), this is one of my best buys, only problem, like most things it cost a lot more these days. Photo taken during defrost.

It work very well, It is my second one. First one last ten years. The only problem is that this freezer was damage likely at the manufacture since the box was intact, no sign of box damage. It do not affect the work of the freezer, only the look

Le congélateur est arrivé rapidement mais avec une bosse sur le devant très apparente alors je suis déçue car on a pas le choix, c'est coûteux de le retourner.

Exactly what I was looking for.
