Midea MERC04C4BAWW Chest Freezer, 3.5 Cubic Feet Freezer With Removable Basket, Interior LED Light, Adjustable Temperature, For Kitchen Apartment Office, White

The price was right. It is roomy, with plenty of storage. It dropped to way below freezing in less than an hour. It is also very quiet. Most pleased

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 warranty I Received the unit delivered to front porch by friendly Amz person. Kudos on delivery!!l Off 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. Update 11/13/25 Unit still going strong. Worked great during summer heat in my garage. Tried some removable baskets for organizing stuff but they were more hassle than they were worth. The biggest issue is organizing stuff in this deep box. We have pretty much gone to storing things in the box in am unorganized state and moving things to our kitchen freezer as needed. Example, ice cream sandwiches. Put the big box in this freezer and move a few to stock the kitchen fridge from time to time. This keros the kitchen freezer manageable but allows storage of a reasonable amount of stuff between Costco runs. Other than that, this thing is a great. Compact freezer and working fine with minimal impact on power bill.

Exactly as described. Works great

Spacious and whisper quiet. Extremely pleased.

Would have given six star buh not happy with the dented and scratched parts,with that been said every thing looks okay for now

Fits perfectly in my apartment and works like a charm

This is a truly excellent chest freezer. My freezer and refrigerator were cluttered and not working well. Now that I have this, I have so much extra space and my fridge is working again. It's great for storing larger items or getting extras on sale. The freezer itself works perfectly, keeps food solidly frozen without fluctuating temperatures. It's surprisingly quiet, often completely silent and still quiet even when running. The lid is very solidly built and seals extremely well but is still easy to open. I like that the lid remains open while in use and has a nice led light to illuminate the interior. The settings dial on the front is very easy to adjust and seems pretty accurate in terms of how cold the freezer gets. Also very nice feature to be able to use it as a refrigerator if you want. Overall, I'm very impressed with this chest freezer and it is wonderfully convenient. I can finally buy larger items to store and it helps with managing my refrigerator and freezer as well. Very highly recommended.

I’ve had my Midea freezer for about half a week, and it’s already starting to frost on the walls. The cooling performance is strong, and it keeps food frozen solid, but I wish the temperature control had actual numbers instead of just cooling and freezing. It’s a bit of guesswork to find the right setting. The build quality feels solid and it runs quietly, which I appreciate. Overall, it’s a good, reliable freezer — just needs clearer temperature controls to earn five stars.

Arrived in perfect condition works perfectly ,arrived about three days later .I would most definitely recommend this deep freezer. It is the perfect size for place with limited space.

Muy bueno y tamaño practico

Perfect size, great price. It has worked well for us. It's just the right size for what I need it for. Some people may want a larger one if you're using for more than just storing some boxes of chicken strips fries, frozen veggies, etc but with some organization, it does the job just fine

THIS PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL. GOOD SIZE. COMES WITH SMALL BASKET. VERY QUIET MOTOR. BEING THAT THE TEMP CONTROL IS IN THE FRONT MAKES CLEANING EASIER. THERE IS A PORT WITH A PLUG TO UTILIZE WHEN YOU DEFROST 2X YEAR. MAKES DRAINING RINCE WATER VERY EASY TO EXIT. THE CHEST FREEZER IS REALLY LIGHT WEIGHT.. WELL WORTH THE PRICE. ALSO NO SWEATING ON THE EXTERIOR ON HUMID SUMMER. WE WILL DEFFENETLY RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF THIS PRODUCT.

Previously indicated seller was not helpful, however, he contacted my husband this morning, and I can confirm he was very helpful.
