Community Reviews
This 5 cubic foot Insignia chest freezer is praised for quiet, dependable extra storage, especially in garages, dining rooms, and even as a keezer. It gets cold fast, stays frozen in summer heat above 100 degrees, and has enough room to ease overflow from a refrigerator freezer. Long term use looks solid, with reports of years of trouble free operation and only light frost buildup that is easy to defrost or scrape away. The main caution is that a similar unit failed after a couple of years, so durability may vary. A practical compact freezer with low fuss upkeep.
Common Questions (5)
Several owners report 3 to 5+ years of solid use with no issues, including indoor, outdoor, and keezer setups. A separate similar unit did fail after a couple of years, and one repair involved replacing a start/run capacitor.
Yes. It is described as whisper-quiet, with only a periodic click and a small hum that is quieter than a PC fan and much quieter than a refrigerator. It can sit in a dining room or open kitchen without being noticeable.
Defrosting is typically needed about once a year, though some owners go closer to every two years. Frost buildup is reported as light and manageable, often less than 1/8 inch after long use.
Yes. It is reported to add a lot of flexibility for stocking up on meat and other sale items, and one owner said it felt roomy despite expecting it to be smaller. A 7 cu. ft. model was suggested only for extra width and capacity.
Yes. It has been used outdoors 24/7 for years and in garages where summer temperatures exceed 100°F while still keeping food frozen. That makes it suitable for garage-ready use in hot conditions.

Use it indoors. Runs like a champ. Probably could use defrosting. I usually just take a spatula (or something of the like) and "shave" off the excess ice on the top back and right of the thing. Whatevers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😋

Even as a single person, I was having trouble with not enough space in my refrigerator freezer, especially when I would stock up on meat, etc. that was on sale. After getting this, I had so much more flexibility. I wish I would have gotten one earlier.
I've defrosted mine 3 time, about once/yr and it hasn't built up too badly, probably less than 1/8" on all sides.
I built a small wooden platform about 6" tall to both raise it for access and ease of defrosting/draining, although I really don't use much water to defrost it. I just use a bowl of warm water and a rag and a scraper.
Standing right beside it, there's only a small hum, less than a PC fan and much less than my refrigerator.

The power usage is minimal (if you keep it full) and having 6 more inches of width would be nice for only $20 more.
I was a little concerned that the 7ft might have been just a bit too big for the location I'm using, but it probably would have been fine.
Like Gregbert said. Like WHISPER(!!!) quiet. Not sure I have even ever heard it turn on/off once. I do have it in an "open" kitchen near the living room though to be fair.
