Deep storage in a small footprint is what a chest freezer does best, and this 3.5 cu ft version adds a removable sliding wire basket measuring 16 by 9 by 8 inches so small items do not sink to the bottom. The flip-open lid stays put at 45 and 85 degrees, freeing both hands to load. Seven settings on the exterior dial cover minus 11 to 10 F, adjusted from 1 to 7 without opening the lid. Interior and exterior drain plugs make defrosting straightforward. Two rotatable height-adjustable foot pads level it on uneven flooring. Steel with an aluminum liner and PVC trim keeps the interior easy to wipe, and R600a refrigerant runs at 0.02 kWh per hour with noise at or below 42 dB on a 5.4 ft cord.
