Midea MRU03M2ABB Upright Freezer Large Black, 3.0 Cubic Feet

We wanted to buy a freezer to be able to freeze and store more food than we could store in our refrigerator freezer in our kitchen. I was opposed to a chest freezer because I didn’t like the idea of bending over and digging through items stacked on top of each other. A full sized freezer wasn’t really an option either because we really didn’t have the space. This freezer wasn’t the perfect solution. It’s big enough for our needs and the perfect size for the space we had to put it. It works fine and is quiet. We’re very pleased with it.

This little beast is small but mighty—like a frosty overachiever with zero drama. It froze my entire Costco meat haul without breaking a sweat (or a hum). Silent, reliable, and colder than my inbox after texting “we need to talk.”Bonus: reversible door = choose your own cold adventure. Total MVP of the kitchen.

I finally bit the bullet, removed my old dishwasher that died from disuse, and replaced it with this Midea freezer! It's so nice to have extra freezer space. The freezer arrived well packaged and in great shape. It was light enough for me to move it into place by myself. I set the desired temperature (knob on the back), plugged it in, and it was ready to go! It has 2 shelves and a wire basket at the bottom. It holds more than half of what my fridge freezer holds, so really quite a bit. It runs quietly and keeps everything nice and frozen. I don't have the recommended 4 inches of space around all sides, but I've put my hand behind the freezer several times and it's not getting hot at all. So far, I love it!

I was looking for an affordable compact freezer for some food storage in the garage, and this freezer fit the bill. I gotta rate it 4 stars based on a few minor complaints.Firstly I'm not a fan of the temperature control being on the bottom rear of the freezer. Requires me to pull it out to adjust the control. Kind of inconvenient so I cranked it to max and don't plan to adjust it any further.Secondly, and I hope this isn't a bad sign, it's not "whisper quiet" as advertised. It does make a humming/whistling noise and sometimes burbles. It appears to be working great but I am a little worried.Lastly, this thing has a TON of space in the interior, but only 2 shelves and a drawer. Results in perilous stacking of numerous pounds of ground beef, steaks, etc, on top of each other. I think it could have done with one more shelf in the middle. I might try to make something to make stacking easier.So my final thoughts, that don't affect my rating of the product but are worth considering when you make this purchase. The other reviewers have stated their product arrived dented. I would tell you, as a buyer, that the packaging of this freezer does indeed leave the freezer vulnerable to dents. My own freezer had a few inexplicable dents, but I simply let it sit upright for a few hours before plugging it in and it chilled right up. The thing might not look the best but it's clearly tough as nails. And don't forget that you can file a claim with the shipping company if it does get busted in shipment, so the risk is minimal.And lastly I want to say that this thing was extremely affordable when I needed one the most. It works extremely well. What more could I have asked for? If you pick one of these up for garage food storage, I truthfully don't think you'll regret it.

So far so good. The freezer turned out to be a tad smaller but it is enough for our immediate needs. It started beautifully. It is not noisy at all. Everything is frozen solid. We will see how it continues to work. Kudos to the Amazon truck drivers. They were careful and very courteous. No dents at all.

It's been 3 months so far, and it's been a great little freezer. We bought it to handle overflow from the big fridge when we buy in bulk, run into good sales, etc.....Delivery was great. I was really scared that they'd just drop it off the back, etc...., but they brought it covered, on a hand dolly, all belted in. No damage to the box, and more importantly, no damage to the fridge.The color is a standard black and streamlined in design. It simply looks like a midsized box or a modern cabinet a bit. The size is perfect, big enough to handle a multiple ice cream cartons, a few big flats of chicken, beef, ribs, etc... Also a couple of bags/boxes of fries, frozen vegetables, etc...I'm 6' tall, and it's about waist high, I put it on a little platform so it would be easier to reach the bottom basket/shelf. Noise isn't bad, just a little hum sometimes, not enough to be distracting. Cooling is ok, my fridge's freezer seems to get a little colder, but I haven't noticed anything bad like melting ice cream, etc.... It's freezing things well.It has a little turn lock at the bottom, it works, but I never use it. It's in an annoying spot, and I just don't have a need. It's not a standard key, but a hex type. You could probably use a standard hex key to get in if you ever lost the real one.Will update if anything bad happens.:).
