Midea MERC05C4BAWW Cubic Feet Chest Freezer, 5.1 Cu.ft-New, White

The price was more than fair, although I was not successful in catching a sale. The size is perfect for my needs. The unit was delivered with no imperfections which I understand is not typical. I did purchase a set of 4 metal baskets which will make finding products much easier. I do recommend making this after market purchase. The unit’s cover remains open on itself and there is an interior light, both very helpful. The product runs virtually silently, and I have set the control to 9:00 to get a 0’ temp. I am more than pleased with my purchase.

Great extra freezer. Size is good for fitting in an average sized kitchen. Works well and very quiet operation! Excellent purchase for very reasonable price.

Great freezer! I'm so glad I purchased this! It's arrived quickly and it works great! We purchased the 5 cubic feet. It's the perfect size for us. We've had it 3 months now so far it has been working great!

Background: I had wanted to buy one of those instant countertop ice makers but did not feel I would be getting a quality product for less than $200. By accident I came across these mini freezers and thought if I was going to spend $200, why not go for a full on freezer and make lots of cold ice?So that led me to buy the 5.1 cubic foot mini freezer which can double as a fridge if you need that.The following is my Initial impression only. Durability is TBD big there is a one year warrantyI Received the unit delivered to front porch by friendly Amz person. Kudos on delivery!!lOff topic: the Amazon truck made an ungodly screeching sound when it was backing up. I was working out in the garage when the unit arrived and thought my neighbors dog had attacked a goose. Nope. That's the new backup warning signal.Back to the review...I inspected box based upon various reviews which mentioned dents/damage. Box looked good. Unboxing was easy enough and thorough Ispecton revealed zero damage. Maybe a very slight cladding bend at one lower corner but insignificant IMO. All panels were in excellent shape.Installed in my previously prepared spot and plugged in after ops manual directed 30 minute wait. Unit immediately began cooling and I loaded with four large ice block molds also purchased from Amazon. Freezing in progress but it is COLD in there.You will need to organize storage because you are basically placing frozen goods in a 30 inch deep box. The provided basket will help but we plan to buy several additional boxes to segregate meat, frozen fruit and so on. There will be some fussing around getting to your desired foodstuff but easily managed with a few containers.There is no auto defrost so you will have to do old school defrosting from time to time.It's is weird in that there is a defrost drain at the bottom of the unit but this is not identified in the ops manual. So you will need that drain occasionally for defrosting. I am already seeing some frost build up. Of course I am opening the unit much more frequently than normal because I want to observe how it's working. This will allow humid air to enter the unit. Lesson is open the thing only when you NEED to open it.Overall really pleased so far and would recommend this unit unequivocally. As mentioned earlier. TBD on durability

Lite to move empty, filled it up after 24 hours, doing it's Job. When I received it, there was a nice dent at the bottomLeft corner. It did not cause any problem with function. Would have given 5 stars. Very Quiet.If it was not for the green liter would not know it was running. Perfect size for the Garage to keep my Frozen Fish, other Goodies the Little Lady was complaining about in the Big Freezer!! LOL!!!

I absolutely love this little freezer. I’m 77 years old and live alone in an apartment. I spent the first three-fourths of my life in the public eye (running newspapers) and I’m doing everything I can do to have absolutely no human contact for the last quarter. This freezer contributes by letting me have groceries delivered once a month and never set foot in a store.The freezer maintains a temperature of about 2 degrees. Google says 0 degrees is optimal but 2 seems to serve the purpose. I bought four wire baskets when I bought the freezer and I’m going to buy four more just to make access to specific items inside the freezer easier.I’ve only had the freezer a couple of months now, but at this point I’d recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!Our only refrigerator broke down over the weekend, and we urgently needed a replacement to avoid losing all the food in our freezer. We ordered this unit on Amazon because it was available for next-day delivery. It arrived around 9:30 AM, and we thought we were in the clear.All we needed to do was unpack it and plug it in, simple, right? Not with this garbage product.After unpacking, I couldn’t even pull out the power cord from the compartment shown in their own manual. I spent two hours trying every possible angle to get it out. I even attempted to remove the side panel, but guess what? It’s not designed to come off easily. You risk scratching the surface or causing damage just trying to do a basic setup task. This is absolutely ridiculous.Just watch the attached video. It’s supposed to be a straightforward job: pull out the power cord and plug it in. If the manufacturer can’t even get something this basic right, they have no business selling this product.I contacted customer support, and they suggested hiring a professional to help with installation. What a joke. I’m not paying an electrician to show up and do something that a 5-year-old could do if the product were properly designed.I sent the same video to customer support as they wanted to "investigate," but the damage is already done. We lost all our food because of this incompetent design and completely useless company.Stay far away from this product!!

Worth every penny.large freezer capacity. Only one tiny interior basket. Need two at least. Very quiet. Perfect condition. Fits in my pantry/ laundry room.
