Community Reviews

This Frigidaire garage ready freezer is a compact upright that stands out for value, steady freezing, and long term storage. The manual defrost design is common in this price range and can actually help with deep freezing, while the temperature control can take food from slightly warm to fully frozen with a small adjustment. Long term use has been solid for some, though frost buildup, loud noises, nonadjustable shelves, and occasional shipping damage have come up. It is a practical pick if manual defrost is not a dealbreaker.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. This model is manual defrost, so it will need periodic defrosting rather than handling it automatically. That's normal for many garage freezers in this price range, and it helps avoid freezer burn for long-term storage.

  • Defrosting needs vary by use, but reported intervals range from about a year to a year and a half or more before frost becomes noticeable. If you ignore it, frost can build up enough that you'll be forced to defrost sooner.

  • Shipping damage has been reported, including units arriving damaged in transit and difficult return handling. Some buyers had no shipping problems, so the risk appears to be with delivery rather than the freezer itself.

  • It's described as a normal sale price rather than a rare low, so it's a solid buy but not a once-in-a-lifetime deal. If you can wait, it may drop to this level again.

  • No. The shelves do not adjust, so the interior layout is fixed. That matters if you need flexible storage for taller or oddly shaped items.

No. Buy a chest freezer.

I have bought three of these for two different houses. Would buy more if I had enough space. Needs defrosting but not an issue for this price. Keep on top of defrosting but if ignored you will be forced too around a year in or so unless you like frozen victims never to be seen again.

This is a freezer, not sure what you're talking about. I bought this for $199 back in November and just defrosted it last week for the first time, it didn't need it but I used up all the sliced prime rib from the Easter supermarket sale and will keep unplugged until another steak deal comes along. I only had about a half inch of frost at the very top, could easily go a year and a half to two years between defrosts in my use case. Hardest part is emptying it LOL. I put it on my little collapsible hand cart and wheel it into the driveway from the garage, let it sit outside for the day, dry it off and wheel it back. All of you complaining about it not being frost free have never done long term freezer storage, you need non frost free or everything gets freezer burn. What kind of magic do you think a frost free freezer uses???
