the door on this has a super strong aggressive seal when you close it, which it great but the average person who pulls on the door will either tip it over or struggle to open it.
Open it by the seal instead of the door. Wrap your hand ✋ up at the top grab a little bit of the white seal and pull gently and it opens with ease.
Community Reviews
This 6.5 cubic foot upright freezer is best as a compact supplemental unit for extra groceries, sale meat, or basement storage. It chills fast, with the shelves doubling as refrigerant grids, and the strong door seal helps it hold temperature well. The manual defrost design can mean little ice buildup for some setups, though frost can build heavily in others. The main drawbacks are the small capacity, fixed shelves, and repeated reports of dented shipping or cracked interiors. A practical fit if you want upright convenience more than full freezer space.
Common Questions (5)
No. It uses manual defrost, so frost can build up over time and you'll need to defrost it periodically. Some owners report very little buildup after a year, while others report heavy frost after longer use.
It is 6.5 cubic feet, which makes it a supplemental freezer rather than a replacement for a full refrigerator. That size is enough for extra freezer groceries, sales stockpiling, or basement/garage overflow, but not for full-family fridge storage.
It can. Multiple comments mention dents or cracked plastic on delivery, with FedEx shipping and weak side protection in the packaging being recurring issues.
No. The shelves cannot be removed, and they also function as the refrigerant grids, which helps the unit cool quickly.
Yes. The door has a very strong seal, and it can be hard to reopen immediately after closing. Opening it by pulling the top seal instead of the door handle can make it easier and reduce the chance of tipping the unit.

1- How much is the electrical consumption of this?
2- Where does this stand when compared with Costco's 11-foot Hamilton Beach UF? Twice as big, about $300
