Same freezer as the gray NFT070GA00 with a darker finish, and a strong pick when the cabinet has to sit somewhere visible. Lid controls and the ajar alarm carry the design.

Overview
Model NFT070MB00 is the matte black version of Newair's 6.7 cubic foot chest freezer. Temperature is set digitally between 50 F and -14.8 F on a panel built into the lid, and a coated wire basket lifts out of the top of the cavity.
Everything mechanical matches the gray sibling, so the choice is a finish decision. Matte black hides fingerprints better than a light gray in a kitchen or basement and reads as furniture rather than utility equipment. The functional argument for the range as a whole remains the lid panel and the alarm that catches a lid you did not close.
- 6.7 cu ft capacity in matte black
- Digital setpoint from 50 F down to -14.8 F
- Flash-Freeze mode for fresh loads
- Balanced hinges hold the lid open
Who it's for
A fit for basements, utility rooms and garages where a chest freezer sits in view and a dark finish blends in. Anyone needing organized compartments rather than one deep well, or a lockable lid, should consider an upright instead.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owner feedback on this freezer, shared across both finishes, leans heavily on quiet operation, build quality and efficiency. One buyer has run theirs at -5 F for nearly five years in an uninsulated shed without the digital display failing, and a solar user measured roughly 75 watts on the compressor cycle. Praise also goes to the in-lid light and how quickly it reaches -14 F. The negatives are a unit that failed after roughly a period of good service, dents from shipping handling, and a request from one owner for a lid lock to keep children out.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Matte black finish hides marks and fingerprints
- Temperature readout sits on top, easy to check
- Alarm warns when the lid is left ajar
- Compact 6.7 cu ft footprint for garages
- No locking lid
- Manual defrost required
- One basket for a large single compartment
- Deep well makes older items hard to reach
Performance notes
Flash-Freeze runs the compressor hard to bring newly loaded food down to storage temperature quickly, which matters most when you load a large batch at once. Reaching and holding -14.8 F is within the stated range, and the alarm on an open lid guards against the expensive kind of mistake. Counter-balanced metal hinges keep the lid up while you unload, and defrosting is done by hand.

Questions about the NewAir NFT070MB00
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How does the Newair NFT070MB00 differ from the NFT070GA00?
Only in finish. NFT070MB00 is matte black and NFT070GA00 is cool gray. Capacity, controls and temperature range are identical.
Can the Newair NFT070MB00 be used as a beverage cellar?
Yes. The setpoint reaches up to 50 F, so it can hold drinks at cellar temperature rather than freezing them.
Is the Newair chest freezer quiet enough for a living space?
Owners consistently describe it as quiet, including one who reported no disruption running it inside the home rather than in a garage.
