Overview
Built by Koolatron under the Kenmore name, this 7 cu ft (198 L) chest freezer pairs a locking, balanced-hinge lid with manual defrost, rated for garage, basement, or shed use.
It's positioned for unheated spaces: the listing claims insulation that holds a 32F to -11F range even outside a climate-controlled kitchen. A drain plug is meant to simplify manual defrost cleanup, and the lid stays open on its own for hands-free loading.
- 7 cu ft (198 L) capacity
- Locking, balanced-hinge lid
- Garage-rated 32F to -11F range
- External thermostat dial
Who it's for
Households needing bulk or seasonal storage, like game or grocery overflow, in a garage, basement, or cabin. Not built for anyone who wants automatic, frost-free operation.
Pros and cons
- Locking lid for security in shared or unheated spaces
- Balanced hinge holds the lid open hands-free
- Insulation rated for garage or basement temperature swings
- Backed by a 2-year warranty
- Manual defrost requires periodic upkeep, unlike frost-free freezers
Performance notes
The insulation and seals are rated to keep cooling in the 32F to -11F range even in an unheated garage or basement, and an external thermostat dial lets you adjust the setpoint without opening the lid. Being manual defrost, it needs periodic clearing of built-up frost, which the leak-proof drain plug is meant to make easier.
