This 14-cubic-foot chest freezer is valued for low running costs and solid garage-ready utility, with an estimated 282 kWh per year and about $40 in annual operating cost at typical rates. It also works well for bulk storage, especially when organized with crates or bags, and it has even been repurposed for a cold plunge setup. The main drawback is access, since items can sink to the bottom and become hard to track or retrieve. It is a practical fit if you want efficient storage and do not mind digging for frozen items.

Common Questions (3)

  • A chest freezer is harder to organize than an upright because items can get buried at the bottom, especially in a larger unit. Using milk crates, reusable grocery bags, or splitting storage into smaller freezers can make access easier.

  • Insignia lists the freezer at 282 kWh per year with an estimated annual operating cost of about $40 at 115V/60Hz. At typical residential rates, that works out to roughly $35-$60 per year, but local electricity prices can push it much higher.

  • Yes, it can be converted for a cold plunge setup, and one setup was described as costing about $500 done well. The key is sealing seams, adding a liner to prevent rust, using filtration and cleaning, and not covering the walls so the compressor can still shed heat.

You live there if you're creative, abh.


Many jobs adjust pay for HCOL and the benefits of living there are tremendous. You get what you pay for.


But anyway, CA is BIG and costs can vary wildly. It's not just SF, LA, SD (as the ravenous for-profit news outlets love to paint their craven narrative headlines with).
A lot of people struggle in CA, especially with getting property. Rent isn't cheap. Layoffs are sweeping across fields, since outsourcing + automation/AI are growing in popularity. Every state has pay that scales with the area. That doesn't mean everyone there is necessarily thriving. How about skid row in LA. Is that proof of prosperity? A large portion of the nation's homeless population is in this creative state. With AI big companies with cut artistic divisions for ai.

Wonder if this can be used as icebath?
Short answer, yes Right answer, convert it the right way and it'll be a good setup. I went through the conversion and learned a lot, much the hard way.

I went through the conversion and learned a lot, much the hard way.

My quick suggestions:
3M 5200 marine sealant on all seams - better than silicone, faster and cleaner than JB water weld
Plastic liner or pond shield to keep interior from rusting (warning, this is a process)
On first fill and any refills, use lots of ice to chill water - less stress on the compressor
Run a smart plug to only cool during low temp hours of the day
Use "oil filtering" sponge balls to help keep surface clean
You need a filter of some sorts. Ideally micron paper type.
Hydrogen peroxide to help keep bacteria at bay. I also use an underwater UV light

Don't cover the walls - they're used for heat exchange - it'll overheat and burn out your compressor.
Vinyl wraps are a good alternative for more finished look (won't trap heat)

If using outdoors, don't run when too hot outside

I love my plunge - this can get you a nice setup for about $500 done well

"creative" meaning = creative spending. It's important to be vigilant on budgeting and spending, and making sure necessities are clearly defined.


I didn't imply everything is thriving. I was saying that if you live there and engage with a site like Slickdeals then you are likely to be intentional with your spending and therefore creative with making ends meet.


Surely any State has their downtrodden areas, so using a fringe example like "Skid Row" isn't really representative of a state's ability to provide a positive life to its occupants.


tl;dr:
Those who exist there and are able to engage in intentional spending/budgeting can thrive quite well and benefit from the long list of perks that the State has to offer.

unless you like digging through stuff get the upright for convenience...it outweighs any energy savings from a chest.
