Danby DCF072A2WDB1 Chest Freezer, 7.2 Cubic Feet, White

I love this freezer it works great. Fits perfectly in my garage. It is taller than it is wide and long and I like that. It included 2 wire baskets which are helpful for storing things inside. It is very easy to use, and the temperature is easy to adjust. It is pretty lightweight I was able to push it into my garage and in place on my own.

This freezer is 100% silent and works like a champ. I keep it on my covered patio. The documentation that comes with this freezer states that it is only meant for in door use. So, I know if it craps out it is probably because it is not inside. But so far so good. The size is perfect for us and it keeps everything frozen solid.

7.2 Cu ft freezer arrived damaged, although the shipping boxes (box within box) did not appear damaged at all. The bottom metal motor mounting plate was bent up from bottom, the motor and tubing had dented the "floor" above it. Also, the lid was dented where 2 "protective" spacers were placed. The lid had 2 cracks inside where it had pushed down onto the hanging basket. Shipping boxes appear fine. Wonder where the damage occurred. Before it's even packaged at Danby factory? Strange. Set up a replacement through amazon. I'll package it up and they will pick it up for free and replacement is already scheduled to arrive in a week. I will update the review then. Looking forward to having a non-damaged working freezer! It looks nice an spacious.UPDATE: 2nd freezer arrived today. (Fast shipping!) It has numerous minor scratches and dents. I can deal with that. However the lid does not seal tight along the back. The sides and front are fine, but in the back there is about an eighth inch gap letting out cold air. This is not acceptable as we would be wasting energy constantly and there would be greater frost build up inside. Will be returning for a 3rd replacement. Maybe "Third times a charm"? Or we could get worse, but I don't think the gap in seal is functional, so I need to return it. Tried sitting on the top and it didn't push it down either, so the lid itself must be bent slightly from who knows. The packaging was fine. Issue prior to packing??UPDATE #2: 3rd freezer arrived without damage. Still a small gap in seal on backside of lid. We lowered/tightened the lid hinge on one side a little bit, and that seemed to take care of it. It's running quietly, more-so than the 2nd freezer which makes it suspect even more. Glad I returned itPhotos below are from first freezer.

This freezer does the job reasonably well - it doesn't get things down to 0 degrees farenheit, but it gets close and that's good enough for my purposes. Things are very safely frozen in this thing. It also isn't very noisy, though you can tell when the compressor kick in.One thing to note is that the shelves are not removable (without disconnecting the "quick freeze" mechanism, which I'm not sure you can and which I don't think they'd recommend) or adjustable.Also, keep in mind this is not a freezer for storing items you want to get to regularly (e.g. don't put ice pops in there on a hot summer day and go running in to retrieve one every few minutes). This is a freezer designed for storing food, not regularly accessing it. It will frost over quickly if you open and close the door a lot and defrosting it means emptying it and letting the ice melt and cleaning up the water. It doesn't have a drain.I would have preferred a chest freezer since it would have been less expensive, easier to defrost, and more efficient, but I needed something for a space that wouldn't allow me to have an open top and this Danby does the trick. If you can fit a chest freezer in your space and don't have a reason for needing an upright, then get one, but if a chest freezer isn't an option, this is a great choice.All-in-all, I'm very happy with this freezer. I could have paid a lot more and gotten a better freezer, but this suited my needs.

Fits perfectly into the space in our kitchen where a washer would go. Can get VERY cold. There is a metal covered temp control on the back of the freezer that was slightly dented during shipping, but it didn't affect the operation, and it wasn't broken. I took it off with a screw driver and pounded the dent out with a hammer and put it back on. No problems. Also I switched the door from hinge on the right side to hinge on the left side for the space where we put it with common hand tools, a mini crescent wrench, and a philips screw driver.

Worked well for 2 years and then it stopped working. Danby advertises a 5 year parts/labor warranty on their site for the same model. Who wants to hassle with a freezer that won't work for a longer period than that? So I had to immediately go out and get a replacement or lose the food as no service personnel were available in the short term. I thought I was buying a unit made in Canada but it comes from China and I would never buy again. Terrible experience.

AWESOME! I Read Every review... Good and Bad. Decided to buy. This freezer is of a quality that I have not seen in my 65 years. Excellent quality. Delivered by UPS, (amazing for its large size and weight), the freezer arrived in perfect shape. Excellent packaging. EASY to set up. I immediately placed 3 thermometers inside and plugged it in. 2 hours later, the temp was -12 degrees. Set thermostat to warmest setting and my thermometers registered lower than 10 degrees after 6 hours. So, this thermostat is not good for refrigeration temperatures, Not to worry, there are many easy ways around this if you might someday need a refrigerator instead of a freezer.

i bought this because i live in an apartment , and you only get a small area for food storage , so i picked this up to be able to buy more foods to freeze so i can eat when i want to , so this worked out perfectly for me.

a great freezer addition for kitchen, storage cupboard, works very well and gives much needed freezer space

Love it! Top quality with a name I can trust. Delivered fast. Front door opening is absolutely perfect. Very quiet, never hear a sound, in fact when I first got it I regularly opened the door just to make sure it was working!

Needed a freezer for my condo when the freezer compartment in my fridge was no longer cold enough for ice cream, etc. (only -10C, when it should be at least -20C. This all freezer compact upright fit my needs perfectly until I replaced my main fridge. I still used it for stocking up on sale items...

Pros:It's keeping things frozen, so it works!Cons:I think it sounds like Darth Vader sighing. We can hear it across the house.My wife thinks it sounds like fans cheering at a hockey game.This is a basement dwelling appliance for sure - keep it at least two rooms away from anywhere that you spend time.

Undeliverable due to damage. Incident badly handled.
