Energy efficient at an Amazon price
I looked around for a medium sized freezer and the price was at least 50 bucks less than I could find locally. We have been replacing less efficient items in our home. I was very pleased that the yearly cost is only 29.00/yr on the energy guide. Since our electrical cost is just above a nickle rather than $10.65 national average, a dollar a month sounds thrifty to me.
This is the second Danby appliance we own. The other is a dishwasher and 4 years old. Like the freezer it is ultra efficient. Both do match the lines and curves (of the Designer Series) if they happen to be in the same space. Ours are not, but might be important for some.
One thing I was impressed with was the packaging. The foam on the sides was curved (fitted) to prevent shipping damage. The outside box had seen some use. The freezer was in absolutely perfect condition. I did carefully inspect it! Living down the road from the geographical center of North America, the freezer put on a few miles...
Good Purchase
I have never purchased such a large item anywhere online before, but the fairly large freezer was packaged extremely well and delivered by UPS. As advertised, it certainly has ample room, and even though it is a chest freezer, the two included baskets make life a lot easier than otherwise. Nevertheless, it is the perfect size even if the baskets were not included: two times now, I have had to dig to the bottom for buried items, and, except for cold hands, it is really not bad of a task.
It was priced comparably that could be purchased locally, and with free SuperSaver shipping and no tax, it was a steal, especially since it was delivered right through our front door and into the living room where it is now.
Other than that what can I say? It hasn't stopped running since when I first plugged it in two months ago, but also an important point: it is absolutely quiet. We keep it in the living room where we always sit and can't hear anything at all: the small green...
Energy Efficient, Spacious, Excellent Freezer
I first checked with Consumer Reports to get an idea of which chest freezer brands passed the marks on:
- energy efficiency and
- consistency throughout the freezer for temperature / temperature control / temperature performance
Danby stood out in a class of it's own and I was shocked at how many didn't do as well.
PRO's

Delivery was on time and they even brought it up the stairs and into my apartment! (no curb-side nonsense!)
It was a breeze to unpack and there were no dents or dings. It was in excellent condition.
The basket and side compartment are convenient.
The chest is rather deep.
There are two wheels on the back and two rubbers on the front for ease of movement and stability.
A drain hole in the bottom
A light indicator on the right front bottom corner so you know if the power is on or off...
