[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The freezer arrived in perfect condition, despite obvious bangs and tears to the shipping container which worried me when I read other reviews. It cooled down immediately and has been keeping everything inside frozen solid since being plugged in shortly after being unpacked. It runs silently and gives off no heat whatsoever. The size I bought is almost too large for me, a single person, but the size smaller would have probably been too small. This freezer now enables me to purchase more frozen foods and meats on sale that I used to have to avoid because I did not have the room in the refrigerator freezer. This is a wonderful freezer!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The reviews were low but I wanted to learn more as it was the perfect size for what I needed. Independently I learned about \'ambient temperature.\' This would be very important as other reviewers said "motor died" after short time. I called the manufacturer to ask about "ambient temperature.\' She didn\'t know, but would ask supervisor. Got my answer & stayed with my intention of keeping it in the house. If the placement location temperature is between 50 & 100 degrees, it will work fine. If it goes under or over, for a while, then the motor will work too hard to keep at your setting & die. It can\'t take those temperatures. Garages or sheds, unless insulated get too hot (So. Calif.), other areas it might be too cold. I hope you learned something from my efforts. Keep my fingers crossed and the motor is not defective, no matter where I put it. Also no power light to let you know it\'s on and no inside light but that\'s OK. Bought a little hanging freezer thermometer. Oh, yes it\'s VERY quiet.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We like to cook so we needed a freezer and after reading hundreds of reviews for various sizes and models on Amazon we chose this unit. It had a good number of reviews (over 500) and less than 10% were 1 star. The unit was delivered yesterday. First thing I did was inspect the packaging from the outside to make sure there did not appear to be damage as others have indicated. All looked OK so I removed the carton and inspected the unit. Again, no damage. I picked up the freezer (it is not all that heavy and I am in my 60s) and put it where I wanted in my garage. As is recommended by all refrigerator / freezer manufacturers, I let the unit "settle" for two hours before plugging it in. After the siesta I plugged it in and set the temperature control about 3/4ths of the way to MAX. Within an hour or so the temperature was below 32 so I put about a dozen jars of frozen food, a few pounds of frozen butter, some frozen bread, etc. into the unit. A few hours later the internal temperature was -8 F. Perfect. I have no complaints AT ALL about this unit and highly recommend it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We've been using this freezer chest for several months now, and a couple of observations:\n- It works as advertised, with no regrets or concerns\n- It holds temperature well (measured with a digital thermometer placed inside)\n- The dial-range adjustment is extreme, so I would recommend one purchases a separate thermometer and place it inside. That will allow you to accurately adjust for your desired temperature.\n- The aluminum-lined insulated interior is not meant to withstand the weight of normal-weight-range Thanksgiving turkeys, so either pick another storage location, or place them more genitally then I had done. Yes, I've slightly dented the inside of the unit, but not so much to impact it's capability.\n\nNo regrets, as it allows me to store 3 LARGE turkey's purchased at low-cost during Thanksgiving, for later cooking and enjoyment for another 11 months. Wow!\n\nLastly, my electric bill has not seen any huge spike, so while I can't speak to a specific utility usage, it appears very efficient to me."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased this freezer almost three years ago to hold our portion of a pig we had butchered- which was roughly 75lbs worth of assorted cuts of pork. The freezer arrived on time and did not have any dents unlike some of the ones I've seen reviewed. The freezer was the perfect size for the portion of meat we bought and has continued to serve us as regular freezer storage since then. It's sturdy without being too bulky and has survived two moves in the last three years completely unscathed. Very happy with this purchase and have recommended this freezer to others looking for a decent chest freezer that will fit well in a small (>1200 sq ft) apartment and last for years."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I am so angry right now! I bought about $300 worth of beef from a friend who butchered a cow. I bought this freezer specifically to hold it. It was slightly damaged from shipping, but seemed to work fine, so I didn't return it. I let it run for 3 weeks before I put meat in it to make sure it worked. It worked fine for 3 months. Today I walk into my garage and find a blood trail on the floor (it leaked from the draiin). The freezer is completely off and all the meat is garbage!! Nothing touched the power switch and it was still plugged in. It just doesn't turn on at all now.\nOf course, I forgot to turn in the warranty card (my fault, I know), so I can't return it. $200 for the freezer and $300 for the meat - I just threw away $500!\nI don't know if it went bad because of the shipping damage or not, but I wanted to post my experience since I purchased it because it had good reviews."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Wow! AMAZING! This is bigger than I imagined. It arrived in perfect condition, not a single dent on it. The company may have improved the packaging after all the bad reviews it has received. The packaging was amazing!!!!! Nicely padded. The delivery was great, handled with care. I put a gallon of water to give others an idea of how much you can fit. It fits ALOT of food. I am very very happy I made this purchase even after reading all of the bad reviews it received. Also DO NOT OUT IT IN YOUR GARAGE. It needs to stay in a room at a certain temperature. Indoors is perfect. Look through the amazon feed back for details. I would\nSay ignore all of the previous reviews about it being damaged. The company has clearly stepped it up with the packaging. AMAZING!!! I love it!! BUY IT IF YOU NEED IT! I bought it because I want to avoid the many trips to the store during this pandemic. THANK YOU AMAZON!!!!!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': ' Pros: Relatively quiet. Simple control. Easy unpacking. Light weight.\nCons: No temp indicator. Frosting is for real.\n\nSo it had a lot of reviews and I read up on the company and it is a legit company that is known for freezers. So far I’ve been running it for close to a month and it’s still working.\n\nThe setup was straight forward and to make sure I had the right setting I placed a water bottle inside to make sure it freezes. I have no idea what the temperature is so I will need to buy one later to put inside. That’s the only downside to this freezer - no indicator other than the knob.\n\nFrosting - well it did indeed frost up and they provided a scraper which is handy. But I wonder why a regular freezer doesn’t do that. Could be the insulation methods are different.\n\nIt has a port to let the water out in case you ever want to clean it.\n\nOverall it does the job but I wish it had an indicator - need to buy one.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We found this freezer during the height of the pandemic when it seemed everyone was buying everything. I had wanted a deep freezer for a long time since we have a family of 5 and are frequently hosting our family for dinner to BBQs. I was afraid this was going to arrive damaged from all of the other reviews I have seen on here. It was in perfect condition. I was able to open and get it set up myself without any help. (I did have the FedEx guy bring in it the house instead of leaving it on the porch.)\n\nFor three months now it has been working perfectly and a great asset to our household.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased this freezer and unfortunately did not work from the moment I plugged it in. I have written to the company, Midea America Corporation to assist me with this return especially considering the inconvenience of the weight of it and getting it out of my basement. I have heard no reply from them as of today and it's been a couple of weeks now. I am very unhappy with this experience and would not recommend."}]
