Marilyn, London

+ So far I have not had any problems with this product. I think the ideal size is good not too bulky, but can hold alot of frozen foods. It's quiet and does not use a lot of electricity.

John, Otley

+ It is small enough to be easy to move yet has a large enough capacity to hold sufficient for my needs. It is efficient so it requires a minimal amount of electricity and is therefore cheap to run.

- There is no way to fit a whole cow in it but there again I rarely get given a whole cow to put in my freezer.

Judith, Crawley

+ Appears to be good quality and is attractive to look at (well, as far as a freezer can be attractive!). Temperature control tucked away at back. Lid stays open when opened fully, which means you have two hands free to put in/take out items.

- None really, although sometimes aware of the motor running (but then I do have it the living area!)
