I bought this freezer at the suggestion of my aid to be installed in my bedroom to keep ice packs to use in the middle of the night when I have pain from neuropathy. Prior to having this little gem I would have to get up in the middle of the night and go downstairs to my kitchen to get my ice packs out of the freezer in my kitchen. My aid felt that my getting up in the middle of the night and navigating stairs while half-asleep was a recipe for disaster (and he was right).
My only concern about getting this freezer was that it might be noisy and, as such, disturb my sleep. Well after owning this wonderful little freezer and having it installed in my bedroom less than 5 feet away from my bed - I can honestly say that I wish I'd done this sooner. It's a cute design (if you like red..and I do) with a retro look. Note: The 'chrome' handle on front is purely for aesthetics - it's made out of plastic and although you can grab it and use it to pull open the freezer, I would advise against doing so as I don't think the plasticized chrome finish would last very long - and I suspect the plastic material from which it is made wouldn't hold up (ie it would eventually crack or break altogether). This freezer has indents in the side and on the top of the door that are not shown in the product photos. These indents are specifically sized to fit the average human hand. And so it was suggested to me (once again by my aid) that I use the indents to pull open the door.
But perhaps the best quality about this little freezer is that it is VERY QUIET and it also works very well too. It keeps things nice and cold with minimal noise.
The only complaint I would have - if one could even call it a complaint - is that the thermostat to control the level of coldness is located in the lower right-hand corner ON THE BACK SIDE of the unit which, for some, might prove to be a bit inconvenient. I would have preferred the thermostat to place more strategically (i.e. conveniently) other than on the back side of the unit. But for this price point I don't really feel I have the right to complain. The gentleman that works for me handled all the unboxing and placement of the unit. He commented that from what he could see it appears to be a very well-made unit. He also noted that the 2 front feet are adjustable which makes it easier to level off if/when placed on an uneven or less-than-perfect surface.
All in all I would highly recommend this little freezer to anyone in the market for one.
