Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Doesn™€™t last long

Unirider0 5/11/2025

I have bought two of these models, and after a few years, each of them developed a coolant leak and could not be repaired and had to be thrown out. I will definitely not buy this model again.

Very roomy!

MI Huntress 10/12/2024

I really like the size of the freezer. I buy 1/2 a side of beef and a hog twice a year, and I still have room for frozen veggies, a deer, and other frozen items. It comes with 2 baskets to keep things separated, but I wish it came with one more one size bigger. The baskets are a tad small to hold more than a few bags of frozen veggies.

Freezer lid won™€™t stay up while pulling food out.

Whitedove1361 3/18/2024

The freezer works BUT there are no storage options to organize things, except for 3 small baskets. The back isn™€™t fully enclosed, so I have to worry about mice, raccoons & other critters finding their way in; which could mess up the wiring and poses a danger. Most importantly though, from about 6 months in of owning this freezer, every time we get food out, the lid slams down on our heads!! The hydraulics on the hinge just stopped working. We have to literally hold it open with one hand, while getting food out with the other. Again, this is super inconvenient, to say the least!

Huge Disign Flaw

MontanaFran 5/11/2022

Freezer is missing a vent/ grate on the back of the appliance, I live in a rural area and do not want a mouse to live in or chew up the internals of my brand new freezer. There are four small holes in the corners that look like they should secure a grate but after being on hold for 40 minutes they told me the freezer was designed to have this massive gap.

landra24 3/31/2022

I have kept this model in my garage for the last 2 years with no issues whatsoever, and my husband and I keep it pretty well-filled. It is great to have as a back-up for extra storage, and the green power light indicator is a good feature.

bryan68 12/11/2021

Works exactly as advertised. I only wish I would have gotten the next larger size. I didn't take into account the thicker walls that garage freezers have but it keeps a consistent temp when my kids don't forget and leave the door open overnight!

Needs mid level track for baskets

JMU2UVA 11/28/2021

Easy to install and freezes well. Would have preferred a mid-level track for more baskets so things don™€™t get lost in the bottom. (My Kenmore had them). The 3 baskets that came with this GE freezer were small and made of flimsy gauged wire. Disappointed in choices available for purchase; took 2 weeks for delivery .

judy12378 11/19/2021

I purchased this as it was advertised as garage ready. I live in humid Florida. I've had the freezer for 2 months and there is already significant ice on the inside of the freezer. It keeps things frozen well enough and I haven't noticed any frost problems on the food.

The unit was delivered in perfect condition other than a very small dent on the fron corner of the lid. The dent in my opion occured during the manufacturing process prior to painting since the paint or the shipping container were not damaged at all. The dent does not affect its operation at all. We plugged the unit in and everything works perfectly. We are happy.

Lightweight and Bright, but too Narrow

mcj34 11/13/2021

I purchased this freezer sight unseen, since none were in stock and I needed one right away. I like the height, as I can lean over easily. It has a bright interior light. The interior metal lining is fine and nothing sticks to it. The disappointment is the interior space. The walls are 4" double thick around. This freezer is 8" longer and 3" shorter than my old one (same width), but none of my baskets fit and it holds SO much less. This freezer comes with 3 very narrow hanging baskets (7"w x 17"l x 7"d) which can hold very little. It could actually fit 6 across. I tried ordering an additional basket but it costs $84 for 1!! I wish to at least have baskets that I could stack inside. Now I just pile everything on top of each other. Two pies do not fit next to each other front to back. Interior 43" x 18". I wish these dimensions were provided ahead of time. Stuck now.

Works for My Purposes

JordanFromKansas 11/3/2021

This is used in my garage as a deep freeze. I also have an upright freezer. While the upright freezer is handy, I've had several times where someone doesn't get it shut all the way and it partially defrosts the whole thing. So I am liking the chest freezer, as it doesn't have this problem. I like that it has a light in the bottom corner that tells you it's on. That gives me peace of mind that my freezer is staying frozen.

Glenda14 10/21/2021

I've had my freezer over a week. Everything is running perfectly. I had them put it on my lani. It is already filled with wonderful food. With the expected food shortage it is comforting to know I'm prepared. My plan during the holidays is to put a decorative tablecloth over it and use It as a buffet.
