I purchased this GE chest freezer when I realized that my side by side is too small.
We have a family of 5 and this is perfect for the extra bread and when I find a sale on meat.
I wanted something that would allow me extra space but not too big where I loose track of what I have. I thought if the food goes bad I'm not saving any money on wasting food.
I did look at the 7cu. size but I think this is a better deal and makes me rotate my food.
I divided up left side older food, right side newer purchases.
It works for us.
The chest is colder than an upright since the temp does not change when it's opened as cold air drops. So the food stays fresher longer.
Since it's a chest and a manual defrost model I only have to defrost it about once a year or longer. Since it is not opened over and over again the frost does not build up.
