Overview
A 10 cu ft white chest freezer built for garage or unheated space use, rated to operate in ambient temperatures from 0F to 110F (-17C to 43C). It's Energy Star certified and backed by a 5-year parts and labor warranty.
A D-shaped cooling pipe is meant to distribute cold evenly through the cabinet, and counter-balanced hinges hold the lid open without a prop. There are no owner reviews on this listing yet, so real-world performance claims come from Danby's own spec sheet.
