Koolatron KTCF195 Chest Freezer - Perfect for Home Storage and Organization

JB: RE: Koolatron Large Chest Freezer, 7.0 cu ft (195L), White, Manual Defrost Deep Freeze

Saw the notices about shipping damage... mine showed up undamaged and the foam packing (which is thin but tough) did its job as it had clearly been turned on its side and top at some point in shipping based on the box scuffing... but like I said, no damage!

Unit it roomy and well laid out... plugged it in, put it to 'ON' for two hours and it was at max cold inside that time.

Very pleased and satisfied with the design, price, delivery and Amazon experience!

Lilly SanchezLilly Sanchez: I really liked this fridge. I’m a breast feeding mom who needed an extra freezer for my freezer stash and this worked great. It’s very spacious. It was easy to setup once it came. As seen in one of my photos one piece was slightly broken but it didn’t interfere with anything so I wasn’t too bothered by it. The only main thing that I recently just realized is mine constantly turns on & off. As seen in the first picture the green light isn’t on and I’m not sure how long it’s been doing that for because I just realized but whenever it turns off I just don’t open it and it still keeps everything frozen. Overall a good quality freezer my only complaint would be that it turns on & off. It only turns off for 5 minutes or so and turns back on but this happens all throughout the day. My worry would just be if it was off too long it’d make my breast milk go bad but that never happened so overall it’s good.

Jim: Just got the freezer on Friday 14th, item was well packaged apart from small dent where the thermostat module but nothing too noticeable. Freezer has lots of room to store items and has a removable 1 basket on top. Freezer appears to be well constructed adequate for storing items from your refrigerator/freezer in your kitchen or an overflow of storing other food items. I
Put my in my garage and was concerned that this would create problems for the freezer not freezing very well or turning off too early because outside was too cold creating confusion for the thermostat. So purchased a small cord heater (what you use for wrapping around pipes to preventing them from freezing) I opened up the access panel where the compressor is and placed the cord near the thermostat. So far the freezer is working with no problems and the thermostat is working like it should.
Also suggest that you plug the freezer on a 20 amp GFCI outlet along with a 20 amp breaker, if your going to use a cord heater they strongly recommend that.
Finally I powered the freezer using my 2000 Watt generator when I first got it while I was setting it up in my garage just to test if my generator could handle it...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Item was poorly packaged and arrived damaged. The damage to the top of the unit may prevent it from sealing properly such that temperature is not maintained and excessive frost build up occur. Will wait mandatory 4 hours before turning on unit and then wait to see if it freezes and maintains freezing temperature. Will take some time for excessive frost to appear. Pictures taken at delivery and this first review posted in less than 1 hour.

Update to first review:
Freezer has been plugged in for 3 days and has not cooled at all. Not sure if compressor was also damaged in shipment of if it was defective from the factory. The company is sending out a new one, but it seems I may be required to find someplace to take the defective one for return shipment. No UPS drop off points within 30 miles that will accept an item this large.

Gord: This unit while effective was not the one that was advertised. Many downgraded features. One upgrade, adjustable thermostat. Runs very quiet and cuts in and out normally. Still, very nice overall!

MrDMrD: The good:
- Cheap, relatively quick delivery
- Amazon-backed
- 2 baskets and ice scraper come with purchase
- Pretty large interior
- Dial for temperature, from Min to Max only though

The bad:
- Slightly noisy when "on" (but may be due to shipping issue below)
- Energy star rating is the highest of other similar units
- Severe packaging and shipping issues: arrived heavily damaged directly to the brains of the operation. Packaging included about 3/8" fun at the top and bottom in full layers, and vertically at each corner for a few inches. Insufficient. Appears to have been dropped right on the corner. Good news is, I bought extended warranty but Amazon completely refunded to a gift card so I could re purchase. They said don't return, dispose of damaged unit or keep, my decision.
