Community Reviews

This Frigidaire garage-ready upright freezer stands out as a solid-value option for long-term frozen storage, with a garage-friendly size and a brand name that feels stronger than smaller alternatives. The manual-defrost design is the main tradeoff, but it also helps with deep-freezing and can go a long time between defrosts if managed well. The unit has also been described as noisy at times, with some frost buildup and occasional seal concerns. Shipping damage has come up repeatedly, so delivery is the biggest practical risk. It is a sensible pick if manual defrost is not a dealbreaker.

The freezer can work for multi-year use without major issues reported over time.

The unit may only require periodic defrosting, with some users reporting long gaps between defrosts.

Manual defrost can suit deep-freezing items when you freeze on a known schedule.
YY3995
Some owners report that internal frost buildup stays limited and the freezer still performs acceptably after a price drop.

The freezer requires manual defrosting, and lack of auto-defrost can lead to regret.

Shipping can involve damage in transit, including cases where a replacement arrived damaged.

The unit can develop heavy frost and loud noises, and a failure after about 16 months has been reported.

The shelves may not adjust, which can limit storage flexibility for different item sizes.

Common Questions (5)

Yes. This model is manual defrost, so it needs periodic unplugging and defrosting to remove frost buildup. That tradeoff is normal for garage freezers in this price range and helps with long-term frozen storage.
Frudality MoisesA7010 MoisesA7010 YY3995
Shipping damage has been reported often enough to check the reviews before buying. Some deliveries arrive fine, but damaged-in-transit units and difficult replacement/return handling have also been reported.
haofana MellowMoney891 TravelnSteve
In typical use, it can go many months between defrosts; one owner reported about a half inch of frost after roughly a year and a half to two years. If you ignore it, frost can build enough that a full defrost becomes necessary around a year or so.
las357s nocturnalmerkin
It is considered a normal sale price rather than a rare bargain, so it is a solid buy but not an all-time low. If you do not need it immediately, the price may drop to this level again.
greenefeenux benq35
No. The shelves do not adjust, so the interior layout is fixed. That matters if you need flexible storage for taller items or want to reconfigure the space.

I had one and it lasted two years. Also make small adjustments, it goes from slightly warm fridge to everything frozen with a small adjustment.

Could you theoretically put this on it's back?

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???
