I was going to buy a 15 cf Whirlpool chest freezer at Lowes on sale for $380 over the Memorial Day weekend. However, I had also been keeping an eye on the cheap freezers sold under the Insignia label at Best Buy. The reviews were pretty good.
At the end of the Memorial Day sale, I bought the 5 cf Insignia model for $100. I wanted it primarily for frozen fruit, vegetables, and the extra flour, rice and pasta we keep on hand. Bugs get into everything here, so need to keep all grain products frozen.
The Best Buy people loaded the freezer into the SUV. I unloaded it with the help of a neighbor. It's 65 or 70 pounds with the packaging. It's not fancy and there is no interior plastic liner. None of the small freezers seems to have a liner. So far, it's a little noisy, but has maintained -10 degrees consistently. I don't know how much it will cost to operate, but the yellow tag shows about $26 per year.
I'm not sure enough of the temperature consistency yet to try meat and ice cream. Another month at -10 degrees, and I will move some over. It's not frost-free, so I expect to defrost every 6 months to a year. I do not like automatic defrost cycles in a storage freezer. The interior temperature is warmed above freezing to melt the ice. Over time, the food degrades.
The freezer goes on sale for $100 pretty regularly. I figured for $100, it met my storage needs, and if it lasts five years, it has met its' objective. Take a look, and if it works for you, it will go on sale soon. Sometimes it will show up in the Best Buy "Deal of the Day" list as well.
