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.

  • The freezer can run for years with only periodic defrosting and manageable frost buildup.

  • The freezer can operate quietly enough for use near living spaces with only occasional cycling sounds.

  • The freezer can keep food frozen even in a garage where summer temperatures exceed 100°F.

  • The freezer can work well as a keezer setup for extended periods.

  • The freezer can fail within a couple of years, which can lead to spoiled food if power is lost.

  • The freezer can develop strong, long-lasting odors after a power outage involving deer or venison.

  • The freezer may require capacitor replacement after about two years on a similar unit, even though the repair can be straightforward.

Oh, i already threw it away. By the time I noticed the freezer had stopped working, it had pounds and pounds of spoiled meat. I still have nightmares and gag to this day from the foul odor, when I think about it.
OMG this happened to us too! It was half a deer/venison and there was a power outage that tripped the breaker in the garage. It took full strength bleach to get it out and I swear the smell seemed imprint and last for months in my nostrils.

Bought one. Arrived quickly. Got cold real fast. Hope it lasts. I thought it would be on the smaller side but it is pretty roomy. I'm happy with this purchase.

I also own this freezer, it's been fine, no issues whatsoever. I defrost it maybe every two years?
