Worth considering when the lock matters as much as the cold. At 1.1 cubic feet this is a supplementary freezer, but few units this size ship with a keyed lock and a thermostat that reaches -11F.

Overview
At 1.1 cubic feet, the Whynter CUF-112SS is a compact upright freezer aimed at a dorm room, office, basement or garage rather than a household's main frozen storage. Its mechanical thermostat runs from -11F to 10.4F, and a cylinder lock with two keys makes it a sensible pick where the contents need to stay secure, such as stored breast milk.
- 1.1 cubic feet, sized for one room
- Cylinder lock and two keys included
- Adjusts from -11F up to 10.4F
- Slide-out wire shelf lifts out entirely
Pros and cons
- Reaches -11F, well below the 0F storage mark
- Cylinder lock and two keys come included
- Reversible door suits an awkward corner
- Energy Star rated for a secondary appliance
- 1.1 cubic feet is genuinely small
- Mechanical dial, so no precise temperature readout
- Manual defrost rather than frost-free
- One slide-out shelf is the only organisation
Performance notes
The useful number here is the -11F floor rather than the capacity. Long-term frozen storage is generally reckoned from 0F, and a unit that only just reaches that mark loses ground every time the door opens in a warm room. Reaching -11F leaves headroom, which is what makes a compact freezer workable in a garage where ambient temperature swings through the year.

Frequently asked questions
How cold does the Whynter CUF-112SS actually get?
The mechanical control covers -11F to 10.4F, so it reaches well below the 0F mark used for long-term frozen storage.
Can the Whynter CUF-112SS be locked?
Yes. It ships with a cylinder lock and two keys, which is why it turns up in offices and shared kitchens rather than only as a spare home freezer.
Is it suitable for a garage?
Whynter lists garages, basements and offices among its intended locations. It is Energy Star rated, and the reversible-swing door helps in a tight corner.
