During that time, if you'd open the freezer door, you’d hear the compressor working a bit harder than it normally has to, once it’s reached core temp.Īs a result, you’ll hear a brief…singing. While the freezer gets cold enough to start storing food within an hour or two, it doesn’t reach core temperature for a few days. That one had me scratching my head for a bit, but after a few phone calls to satisfy my curiosity, here’s the reason: Second, the first few days you have it, it “sings.” According to the tag, it uses only $58 a year in electricity, so it won’t add an undue burden to your monthly power bill. That’s a big win, and it’s worth mentioning here that it’s an Energy Star appliance. There are two other things worth mentioning here.įirst, the interior lights are LEDs, which mean they give off a great amount of illumination (if it’s not the Sabbath and the freezer isn’t in Sabbath mode) while using almost no power. The two men gamely slogged through it though and brought the freezer up to the side door. Unfortunately, it started raining about 45 minutes before the delivery guys arrived, and by the time they got to my place, the yard was a lake. That worked for me because Saturday is a good day for meat specials in town, so I happily accepted the bumped-up timeframe.

But the drivers called Saturday morning and said that a spot opened up, and if I wanted it, they could bring it to me around lunchtime on Saturday. I had gone down on a Friday and was told that delivery wouldn’t be until Sunday. So I took them up on it and awaited the appliance’s arrival.

Lowe’s also offered free delivery, which was one less headache to have to deal with. But honestly, as tough as it was to get this one through the door, I don’t think that other one would have fit at all.

The guy on the floor in the appliance section said that Frigidaire makes one model that’s even bigger. So I figured I might as well get a big one. It was bigger than I had originally wanted. The smaller one sitting next to it was only a hundred bucks less. I figured since it was on my wish list, I couldn’t let it go at that price. But since it is regularly sold for $899 and was on sale for $599, it was one of those “right place, right time” things. I hadn’t even gone to Lowe’s to get a freezer the day I bought it.
