Danby 7.2 Cubic Foot Chest Freezer - DCF072A2WDB-3 Model

P. Bertrand: 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.

E. Hanes: The Amazon scheduled delivery service was great! The delivery guys phoned me about 20 minutes before their arrival, which occurred right in the middle of the delivery window. They were very professional, brought the freezer into my garage, opened the package and helped me inspect the unit. There was a small cosmetic dent on the lower edge of the door (which was a factory defect, not due to shipping; the packaging was pristine), and one of the metal strips over the coils on the back was bent, but I just bent it back right then and there.

After the delivery guys left, I laid the freezer on its back to swap the door hinges because my application requires a left-handed door. In fact, one of the reasons I chose this specific freezer was because it has a reversible door. Note the hinge hardware is on the bottom of this freezer, not on the top like a typical upright. **Before you begin to remove the door hardware, check to make sure none of the bolt heads got stripped out at the factory during assembly.** In my case, two of them were stripped, and it took a vice grip, WD40 and a whole lotta cussing for me to loosen those two bolts. They apparently are not a...

Sketch: 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.

AndreR Traveler: Bought it for my kid who shared a house while going to university. Great freezer for limited areas. Ample room to stock up on items. Good value.

Amazon Customer: Very pleased with this purchase. It is a bit more expensive than others we have purchased (igloo specifically) but buying Danby is well worth it as their products and customer service are both far superior. With this freezer you can change the side of the door mount to have it open either left or right which is great!

Amazon Customer: This is just the right size for me to provide a little more space for extra frozen food. I was afraid that if I got a larger freezer for my basement I would forget about things I put in it. This just fits under the counter of my kitchen. Without it I could never fit in anything extra I got that may be on sale. It is just about the right size for fitting in some extra items and as it is nearby I will not forget about them. Larger families will need a larger freezer probably in the basement or garage but they may like this too as the food is still very convenient right in the kitchen. This freezer is very quiet and you will not even notice it is on.

Maggie: I just ordered the Danby 8.5 cubic foot freezer and am very pleased with it. It is just perfect for my needs! First of all, it arrived from Amazon right on schedule. It did not have any dents or scratches on it! I/we did have to reverse the way the door opened on it. It really helps to have another person to do this with; it wasn't terribly difficult. It arrived pre-set on the number 4, which seems fine but I am not sure yet as my freezer thermometer has not arrived yet.( I will update later.) It did seem a little larger then the dimensions mentioned in the advertising however, this wasn't any real problem for me as I was easily able to accommodate it. I could possibly use a light inside it but it really isn't a necessity. The only difficulty I have had with this so far, is leaving the door ajar. Although it closes tightly, you must make certain the door is closed. It's easy to close the door within an inch or two of the jamb, but it doesn't really "snap" shut like other appliances do. I really do like this freezer. It is so much easier to use then my new Samsung bottom freezer in which things are always a piled in jumbled mess.

Jawan Favors: First, if you're considering this freezer, read the bad reviews first. They're right! I would give this Danby Freezer a 0 if I could. First, this freezer had a small ding on the lower right side right out of the box. But, it was something I was ready to look past. I followed the directions which were easy and straight to the point to get this freezer ready. The problem was, it didn't freeze! I had it set to the coldest setting and it didn't freeze at all. Had it plugged in and on at the coldest setting for 3 days and still didn't freeze! It didn't even get that cold. I put a few frozen food items in it and it thawed right inside this freezer. Thinking perhaps it was the outlet, I tried a different outlet, the same outlet my Samsung Fridge is plugged into and it still didn't freeze properly after having it set to the coldest setting for 6 hours. I'm returning this freezer and going with a completely different brand. Stay away from this Danby freezer folks you can do better. You've been warned.

Pat: 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!
