Reassures you that your food is frozen and safe.
I had a different model chest freezer, with a very dim green light near the bottom It tripped the GFCI multiple times. After losing too much food, I bought a GFCI with an audible alarm when tripped. It never tripped again, instead the compressor stopped working and we still lost everything.
Here's the one I bought, great insurance for chest freezers:

Thanks!
Thanks!
Just what I can think of: it will scratch and dent pretty easily, so if you want to use it to set things on, put some thick cardboard or something on top of it. The sides are just as sensitive, so try not to bang into it. Of course, make sure the power stays on for it, so be careful if you have a lot of cords around to not get them confused, and don't plug it into a switched outlet (or power strip) or someone might accidentally turn it off. Don't sit or stand on this thing, or put heavy items on it. You might want to get a lock for it if there are kids around. If you do any kind of work in your garage, keep chemicals away from it, and don't store them above it. And make sure to keep the seal clean from saw dust or things that might compromise the seal.
You do want to make sure it's level, and you'll want to make sure to keep it away from water spray and don't put it where any water might puddle.
I've also read that in some chest freezer manuals they state you shouldn't use them where the environment isn't temperature controlled. So I was curious if anyone here has used this particular model/brand, since its manual doesn't mention environment temperature.
It does state "Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent the freezer from performing properly", so if I assume "extremely cold temperatures" was anything below 0 I should be okay.

In store price is normally 149. It goes down to 129 occasionally. Might go cheaper, but haven't seen that. I bought one last month, i think the sale price ended on 8/28.
It has been working like a champ so far. It is in a temporary location until I wire a new outlet where I want it to go. It also comes standard with wheels installed which was helpful.
Also if anyone cares about organization. These seem really popular for this specific use. 4 of them fit in the 7cubic foot. They stack, and have handles so you can get down to the next layer easier. The freezer only comes with 2 small wire baskets that are inadequate.
