Suggestions: you can organize your meat and vegetables by using recycle color bags. Yellow for chicken, red beef, green vegetables, so on and so on. So when you need chicken you just pull out the chicken bag close the freezer take what you need and put the bag back In..
Also when you purchase more chicken it easier to put the newest items to the bottom of the bag and the old stuff to the top. First in First out. It's a chore to go freezer dumping. 😉🙃enjoy your new freezer. PS, create a inventory list and tape it to the top of the freezer. Good luck and stay safe.
Thanks for the tip!
Ohhh I love the inventory list idea, never thought of that.
@@nerdgarage Yeah, put that in a ship, and sail then.. Maybe barcode also to deliver some fish to the kitchen 😅 don't forget to sign the order 😂
Wow,you are a genius!Thanks for the tips and Merry Christmas!
yes i gona do that silicone bag!!
Thank you for standing beside the freezer, its helps with getting an idea of the size.
You bet!
Yes, exactly why I'm here!
Forreeeal
No no You take the box off the freezer not the freezer out of the box Beside you never wanna tip them over That is a not a good practice
Thank you so much for that information. I’m about go buy one now and will unbox it just like you said.
I will remember that grandpa glen.
I bought a mini fridge with freezer from Walmart about 8 years ago! When I first got it, I loaded it up into the back seat of my car on its side so that it would fit. Still using it today and not a single issue I've had! I even use a digital thermometer in both the freezer and refrigerator and still keeping cold to the specs!
I did read the manual which said to not plugin the unit for 48 hours if it's been on its side during transport. I did just that if not more! Maybe that's why it's still going strong today? It's also been kept well ventilated keeping 5" away from the wall so that it can breath.
Exactly, if you have to transport it on it's side, then by all means do not turn it on for at least 48 hours. That way the freon will be completely settled.
You have to let it rest for a day or two for the coolant to settle
I’m a single older woman, kinda prepper, they recommend 3.5’ per person, so I hit the 5…was gonna get the 7 but if I need more I’ll buy another. I’m thinking filling the bottom with whole chickens for when SHTF
My grandma was looking for a new freezer, and I pulled this video up for us to watch, right in the Home Depot! She ended up getting it and is definitely satisfied 😊 Many thanks for your through review (especially when you put in the food)! It was very appreciated.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this. It is nice to get a "real world" look at chest freezer sizes.
I ended up getting this chest freezer for my garage and family of 3. It’s perfect. Holds plenty. I’m glad I did not go for a larger size (7cu ft). The unit is essentially silent. My garage does not have large swings in temperature, so this unit should do just fine.
Appreciate it man just got this for my mom for Christmas!
Thanks for making this video!
It’s hard to really make out how big 5 ft.³ is. This is super helpful!!!
This is the best representation of size and storage I have seen. Thank you. I almost bought something far too large before seeing this.
Have been choosing between a 5 or 7 cubic foot. The 5 will be perfect! Fits more than I thought! Thanks for video.
Trying to decide as well. What will the extra 2 cubic foot store?
@@johnnyappleseed8742 up to 70 lbs of meat
This video was great help. I ordered this freezer. Thanks.
Three things,
1. These freezers are NOT garage ready. The compressor will burn up very quickly if you live where it's hot. This will also void the warranty.
2. Let freezer stand upright for 24 to 48 hours if you tip it on it's side. There's oil in the compressor that needs to settle back in place.
3. The clothes basket was genius. You can hold almost three 1.5Bu laundry baskets of food in this 5cf freezer.
Mine doesnt seem to be getting cold.... I dont think i let it sit long enough 😥
Thank you for the thought on the garage. I live in Florida!
@@nolanlang830 Get you one of those thermometers on a post.. and set it in an empty Glass and put it in the freezer that way you can check the temperature. I do the same thing with my refrigerator and freezer.. a lot for my freezer to be around -5°.. I keep my refrigerator around 34. I like it cold.
Thanks for posting this. Big help!
Extremely helpful! Thank you
I totally need this! Great demonstration. I appreciate you showing what can fit in this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
LOVED your video!! Tons of room. FYI... Instead of storing your food goods directly on freezer surface, find a plastic container that will fill up the bottom then placed your frozen goods in container. Youll notice by placing goods directly on inside silver surface , it will leave dents on the interior. In the event u want to sell down the line, you will not have dents in the silver interior. Great video!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Where do you find the right size plastic containers that reach the bottom?
@@suchigupta7796 Dollar Store or 99 Cent Store. Measure before buying.
Great video. At last, someone to guide me more on how much food I can fit in the freezer. Thank you, sir. You helped me make up my mind.
Would love to get an update about FROST BUILDUP, how often it needs to be defrosted and how much of a pain it is to defrost. Thanks!!
My sister gave me one like that today she bought her a big upright frost free freezer. She told me you don't have to defrost it every 2 to 3 years.
Thank you for sharing this review. This gave me a good idea of how much I can stock, plus the key point that I learned from you is to take the items out of the packaging/boxes in order to create more space.
glad to help!
Good video showing what can actually fit in a 5 cu ft freezer. Thank you for helping make up my mind. 👊
Happy to help!
Thanks for making this video!! Awesome demonstration! I’m intrigued by the freezer 😊
Welcome!

Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the video. I couldn't tell the size of freezers online. This helps. It looks perfect. I am going to buy the same exact one. Stocking up due to the darn covid. Thanks again.
Amazon has an option to point where you want the freezer in your home to see how it fits, I was at work but I pointed it at the recycling bins and it’s about the same size. I have a VERY small home and there are plenty of places I can put it, I want it inside because stray cats break into my garage and the boys pee on everything…mine are neutered so they don’t, just the occasional one who breaks in, but whose fond of cat pee? I’m alone do I don’t sit at the table anymore, I have a banking app so I don’t pay my bills there, do NIW I have a giant table taking up my dining room, snd it just fits!
Thank you I'm going to buy one soon.
Yaay, just what i needed, Just got major chicken haul myself and finding this even though its a while ago, this means my soon to be delivered freezer will BE great! I dont think mine come with all tthose baskets, lucky YOU but the space should be great,, Bins that what dollar storeas are for!!! TY again
This is the same reason I am purchasing one as well. I am spending to much shopping at Costco on a regular for my meats and produce and it is only a family of two. lol!!
Amazing review, thanks for taking the time to share this!
Glad it was helpful!
I really need to buy one for my daughter. She really needs it‼️
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you!! :)
omg - thank you. this was exactly what i wanted to know.
:)
Thank you so much I appreciate it I will buy 1 when I get paid I really need one
Thanks for the great video on this freezer. Looks like it has a 5 yr warranty on the compressor which is nice. I was going to get a 7 cubic foot but after watching your vid I think a 5 is plenty.
I was thinking of buying a chest freezer I wanted to see how big and deep it was going to be. I’m glad I came across your video thanks for demonstrating on how much food u can put in there I really liked your video thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good video, thanks for the information.
I have to ask... wouldn’t some place AWAY from a heating duct and water heater be a better location? It seems to me that the freezer would run more when sitting between the two.
Hey man, could you tell me what are the inside measurements? Including the step that has the thermostat part.
Thanks for the video.
Picking mine up this evening after work! :)
NIce!
Great review, I am going to buy one
Right on time. We bought a new fridge and thought that keeping the old fridge for a freezer would be a good idea but it wasn’t . Its huge and in the way.. will get this.. TY
enjoy it!
Great video man! This sealed the deal for me haha
Glad I could help!
I enjoyed the video and the information you provided. Now I know this is the right size for me and I don't have to go into a store to see it. I can order online and have it delivered. Many thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the vid.. I can order now that I have a visual of what this size is
I use foil wrap to prevent freezer burn. Great demo. thank you. I will get one. Chicken wings are my Favorites! lol
great tip!
Love the music. Great video. Thank you. I had a feeling the 3.5 was too small.
for 2 people we find it perfect for an apartment
It is a little too small and it has a smaller compressor and it will not last as long as a 5 cubic foot and up.. don't ever buy the smallest and cheapest unless you're desperately cramped for space..
i just bought 7cubic one,
seems alot fits
Thanks for that review. After watching, I decided that a 5 cu/f is too big for my needs :p
Perfecto. Great review.
Wondering why you didn't talk about the temperature controls and the three indicator lights next to the temperature control dial.
I just bought the 7ft one today, if I saw this video I probably would've picked up the 5 haha
Hi. 3years later, is the freezer still working great?
What is the setting on control as far as how cold do you want it ?
Ok, thanks for posting a review. I need to see actual size of this item before purchasing.
I got one homelabs but it created some ice up top on the inside I don’t know why are all chest freezers like that??
How is your freezer working now? after a couple of years? Thanks
Right on, thanks😊
I know on the parts one is a dream plug. But the other two little ones I don’t know where they go maybe you can help me.
Should I set the temperature to 7 coldest right when inplug it in?
What's the dimensions of the freezer I need to know the length mostly
What’s the dimensions on the packaging box itself? Or should I ask the dimensions on the freezer since you prolly threw the box away already
Excellent review bro.
Thanks a lot.
Glad to help!
Texans and other hot-climate dwellers should be sure to get freezers with operating environments up to 110 deg F, unless your garage is well insulated or well shaded. Some freezers are only rated for 100 deg F. The manuals are usually online, so it's worth checking before purchase.
Thank you for sharing.
It works well for those small compact sized meats, but wondering how it would do with the supermarket sized meat.
Amigo, essas cestas vieram o freezer ou vc comprou separadas?
How is this freezer doing? Is it still running well?
I was thinking about getting a 5 but after looking I was wondering if I should have a 3.5 because it's just me
May I know what is the name of the parts left in the platic bag?
How many decibels? Is it quiet?
I’m sold on this size thanks
Welcome!
Really good review
Any update on the fridge ?
Thanks :)
For us Aussies ...is this equivelant to 200 litres?
Enjoyed yr video here,
And have a very plecent day today, an a great weekend too,

My question is, do you think you should double wrap those products in freezer type bags to help preserve them longer... Over top of the store Packaging?
Always transfer your meat to freezer bags to prevent freezer burn. I even wrap in butcher's paper after the freezer bags. Flatten meat in the bag as much as possible, get as much air out of the bag as you can. Then wrap paper around twice, label and freeze.
Veggies are transferred to doubled freezer bags or throw the veggie bags in freezers bags. I transfer so I can get as much air out as possible. Hope this helps. The freezer won't help if you don't prepare the food to fight freezer burn.
Vacuum sealing helps a lot. Flavors don't mix and it prevents freezer burn. Depending on the sealer they can be a bit expensive at the beginning, but if you buy rolls online you can find pretty good deals. It really makes a huge difference.
think it would hold 300lbs of mixed chicken and beef?
the price of freezer almost doubled due to the supply/demand durng the pandemic. i was too late in getting one in april, so getting one now
Just bought mine yesterday $189.00 plus tax $ 200 and sumthen can't remember. Going to fill it tomorrow after the 24 hour first time freeze. Happy freezing 🤣
My sister gave me one just like this when she bought her a new larger frost free freezer today and brought it to me with a friend in a truck.. you can't do better than that..🤣
@@LeaMurray3 That is the price I researched for most of them today..
Just bought a 5.0 cu ft chest freezer from target. They have one for $130 right now.
We got the same one! I started freezing all sorts of stuff since we moved to HI to help cut back on our food waste and expenses. Hope it helps in the long run.
this helped
magic chef same as Midea?
What is the best setting to keep it at? 4 or 5? I do not want to set it too high if I don't have to.
I'm trying to research that question as well right now.
Hola por favor alguien podrá ayudarme por un repuesto tarjeta electrónica que viene debajo de la tapa de la nevera chest freezercf-108 color blanco se quemo la tarjeta electrónica.
The price on Amazon is $279. I just purchased one at Home Depot for $189. Do your research to get the best price.
What kind of plug was that?
Don't ever turn a freezer on its side and plug it in...
Great informative video.
How do you like it now as of March 2022?
We moved states and weren't able to move it with us- but liked this size so much we are buying another this month! hope that helps!
Awesome video, it was helpful lots.
Hey, can you tell me if yours makes noise similar to an ice maker? I’m not sure if this is normal or defective. Thanks
no, ours doesn't make that loud of a noise... hope that helps.
Is this a NSF approved chest freezer?
Is this garage ready? Looks like you had air conditioning garage.
Just purchased one because of this video
enjoy!!
How much was it?
220 dollars at homedepot not like 370 at amazon
Got mine yesterday at home depot in phoenix that's what I paid too 🤣😷
Bought exact freezer today ...$189.00
I just brought 169.00 at Walmart it came in black
@@kellymcgehee7689 you should let me run up in that babygirl
Im seeing a lot of negative reviews where their freezer broke after a couple months. How is your freezer one year+ later?
We have had no problems with ours- still works great!
any idea of any brand 5 cubic foot chest freezer that can be turned down to run as a fridge???
I haven't heard of one, but I hope you find one that works for you!
Just bought one. What are those 2 plastic pieces that were taped to the top? Can't figure it out.
Re: the 2 plastic pieces...this is the reason I pulled up this video in the 1st place. Did you ever figure out what those 2 plastic pieces were for? This is the worst video I've ever seen! He clearly has them in his hand and only mentions the scraper. Ranks a rot Reorge!
@@pitchdeaftom those must be the feet to level the freezer.
Wow,thanks, I'm one person and looks too big,I now think the around 3 cubic feet is plenty..the other thing is to pick these up at the store,I can see its basically impossible for these to be shipped to you without damage.lol
Don't ever buy the smallest or cheapest of anything.. a 3 cubic foot freezer would have a smaller compressor than a 5 cubic foot.. unless you're desperately cramped I wouldn't get anything under a 5 cubic foot it will last longer and you have more space if you need it and it will consume about the same amount of power or less since the smaller compressor will have to run more..
@@charlesjackson1700Also to take up unused space in the slightly larger 5 cubic foot freezer, put jugs of water in. Once frozen, they act as thermal mass, helping to keep everything inside cold if the power goes out for awhile.
@@ronsamborski6230 That's a very good idea and they will act as an ice pack as well if the power goes off.👍
Can you provide a update? How's it running?
Still works great!!!
