It did not go well. The rear corner on one side was dented. I might have lived with that, but the freezer cools to somewhere around 30 degrees. Just low enough to turn Ben and Jerry's into soft serve. No improvement in four days at maximum cold.

I responded to the offer to negotiate on the dents with a polite but firm request to pick up this piece of junk ASAP. That was this morning. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm sure the request will have to go up the chain. I left a scathing review of the refrigerator, which won't be published immediately.

My $99 Insignia 5 cubic foot chest freezer that is now a few years old has no problem with zero degrees. I shudder to think what I will get if I roll the dice on another refrigerator.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks, this could be very useful. I wish I had seen it before buying our washer/dryer though we did pick one he somewhat favors. I'll file this away and hope he updates often.
