Normally for freezers, fridges and things that have refrigerant can be layed down on their side, but require 24-48 hours for the refrigerant to settle before you can plug them in.

Look up the freezer dimensions, add buffer for packaging, measure your trunk space.

Why even ask a question like this? No one knows which SUV you have, how much clutter you have in it, and which of the 3 freezer sizes you want.

I am not seeing that. Are you doing anything in particular that I could repeat to get free shipping?

Its delivery zip code based. You will never qualify if you dont already. Memberships might get you something but i dont have any for BB. My zip wasn't free but my mothers house was and we live 5 miles apart.

If you have best buy elite or elite plus status, it is free shipping. Otherwise, I think the shipping fee is around $70.

Do not go by this standard with modern refrigerant appliances.

This used to be the standard when everything was running on freon, but different manufacturers are using whichever refrigerant is readily available and each responds differently.

Just so you don't have any early compressor failures, I would definitely recommend letting it sit for a full 72 hours and then turning it on to the lowest setting for 24 hours.

If it's cycling properly, the compressor won't be overly warm and the interior will be cooler than ambient temperature, at which point you can turn it to the desired setting.

These freezers get tilted all the time and are trucked over multiple altitudes. All it takes is one air pocket to kill them.

If space isn't a consideration, go big. They fill up fast.

I've had an insignia 3.5 cuft one in an attached, but uninsulated garage in NC for 4 years now. So the garage gets really hot in the summer and pretty cold in the winter. No problems so far.

Not sure what, if any, differences there are, but my model number is slightly different: ns-cz35wh7. I got it for $99 in Feb 2017.

I got one of these in May. It died in August. I was told to bring it in for an exchange but when I got there the last one was gone because someone else exchanged theirs. So yeah, these have problems. I got a refund and got a different one at Home Depot.

I've had the 7' in my garage for 3.5 years, not a single issue either. (Gets up to 95 in my garage)

How do you insulate a garage door ?

would you mind if I ask, what kind of insulated door you use to keep the temperature below 55f in south texas?

I would think - Garages will easily reach 80F most summer days especially in Texas.
