Whynter Upright Freezer 2.1 Cu Ft with Lock, Mini Freezer Dorm CUF-210SS

I've been very happy with this freezer so far. It fits perfectly in a small space while still holding a surprising amount of food and frozen desserts. The temperature has been extremely stable, consistently staying right around my setpoint of 0°F with minimal fluctuation based on temperature monitoring. The stainless finish looks great, the unit runs quietly, and it freezes items quickly. Build quality feels solid for the money, and the compact footprint makes it easy to place in an apartment, office, or bedroom without taking up much space. Overall, an excellent freezer if you're looking for reliable temperature performance in a compact package.

Can't believe how LARGE this is- more than enough for my needs (I'd estimate large enough to hold at least a month's worth of frozen food). Glad I didn't get the 3 cubic feet one. It holds MUCH more than the photo (or video) suggests (more below). Well-packed, in perfect shape. Indeed, as the instructions assert, if the freezer isn't level the door doesn't stay closed. I'd never done this before, have poor manual dexterity and it took me quite a while to adjust the feet on each side, using a level horizontally and vertically (checking the side to side tilt and the front-to-back). It wasn't difficult, but it required time and patience. The instructions say turn each foot (two at the front corners) to the right to lower, to the left to raise, which confused me a bit but it translates to counter-clockwise to lower, clockwise to raise. Once I finally got it level (I have a wonky surface in my travel trailer), the door closed tight. At one point I tried locking the door with the key and THAT did the trick, so if it ever becomes an issue (like when traveling) nice to have a surefire method for ensuring that the door remains closed. Note- I got it all situated, THEN read the part about initially setting the temperature knob to 5, the highest it will go, so had to pull it out again and set it (see photo of the back- the white round dial on the left). SO, all ready to go, plugged it in, and put in an ice cube tray of water. It took less than TWO hours to freeze solid! (I read reviews of other freezers that said it took overnight for ice to freeze initially). To give you an idea of what can fit in the freezer (I experimented), it can hold 39 full-size Banquet TV dinners + 2 smaller packages, like Lean Cuisines, + 4 small frozen juice containers + 8 smallish burritos, like Don Jose's. I've checked repeatedly, and regarding a large bag of ice, there's none of that slightly melting and then re-freezing again, which results in ice that's congealed cubes and requires an icepick (my house fridge does that). Ice cubes remain frozen solid and separate, and ice cream is as hard as a rock, the way I like it. [UPDATE: The thing about the ice not slightly melting I've found is only true if you keep the ice on the bottom shelf. If you place it on the top shelf it does slightly melt, requiring an ice pick. But ice cream kept on the top shelf is always rock hard, as is other frozen food, so it seems the effect is slight and of little consequence, my house fridge/freezer does the same thing. I've kept chicken, fish, etc. frozen on the top shelf for months at a time, no ill effects whatsoever and cooks up fresh. Also, for what it's worth, we had a power outage of 10 hours and everything still seemed to be frozen solid. After five months of use still LOVE the freezer.] I was unable to upload the video of the freezer from the Whynter site for some reason, you can go there to see it (but it also shows those little containers/cartons of Haagen Dazs-type icecream, which don't provide an accurate impression of how MUCH it holds). You can also download the owner's manual (note: the freezer is listed under refrigerators, for some reason). FYI, the owner's manual states that the freezer draws 75 watts, .88 amps. It comes with a small paper sticker on the front that removes easily after soaking for a few minutes with dishwashing lotion. So quiet, you can barely tell when it's running. And it's BEAUTIFUL. Couldn't be happier with this freezer! If it malfunctions or dies I'll update my review.

So far so good! After deliberate research I knew quality, consistency, low sound, and cold performance were important features I didn’t want to chance with less consistent brands. So far this has done a good job (only a week in so just initially noting) and is relatively quiet. It does make noise on/off a gentle hum, which comes w/the territory so esp. why I wanted a HQ product. I really appreciate the gold color and sizing/spacing of the 3 shelves. I was worried it was too big but glad I went w/this size, it stacks nicely. Only grievance is the placement/stickiness of a random sticker on the front—please remove sticker as it nearly scratched up the exterior. Also the lock/key is hard to work and doesn’t seem suitable for daily perhaps only occasional usage. Overall very happy w/my purchase and hoping the functionality lasts.

I chose this particular freezer because of the Energy Star rating. After reading the instruction book and safety warnings, I decided to install it under the counter in a 24 inch wide cabinet with the doors removed. It fits like a custom order. After waiting 4 hours for the refrigerant to settle, I plugged it in and set it to MAX as per instructions. After 3 hours it had reached a temperature of -10 degrees fahrenheit plenty cold enough, perhaps even a bit too cold for my ice cream products. It is very quiet but if you listen carefully you'll be able to hear the compressor kick on and off, but you really need to be standing right next to it to hear anything so for me it definitely passes the quiet test. We are fully off grid so energy consumption played a big role in choosing this freezer. According to the handbook it draws 75 watts when the compressor is running which is for our needs great! I will keep an eye on it and will report back should the energy usage change. The freezer arrived in perfect condition (which was a concern of mine after reading so many reviews). My only surprise/complaint was the color of the "stainless steel" door. It looks almost bronze to me and it certainly isn't even close to matching the other stainless steel appliances in our kitchen, or the other pics in various reviews on Amazon. I have written Whynter customer support to see if I am missing something. The product seems well made and as long as it continues to keep my food frozen I am very satisfied.

I am happy with this freezer. It keeps a constant temperature and is the perfect size for what I want. It is easy to use and freezes things quickly.

This freezer keeps things nice and cold and I've been using it as an overflow/backup freezer. I like that it's energy star and quiet - I barely notice it. The silver looks nice and it has more capacity than you'd expect. I was also pleasantly surprised it can operate as either a normal fridge OR a freezer. I thought it was only a freezer. This gives me a lot of flexibility to switch based on my needs.

So far it's been good. Good size, not heavy, easy to install. We'll be using this to store breast milk and likely other things in the future. Good price compared to the others. Will update as needed.

As advertised. Quick delivery and easy setup. Compact size, chills quickly. Will buy the same unit for my son going to college.

I get bad migraines and having to go downstairs to get an ice pack (especially in summer) was becoming difficult. This freezer is nice and compact and means that I have ice packs at the ready whenever a migraine strikes.

Simple, small, basic freezer-only little thing. Perfect for what I needed it for (chilling martini glasses & shaker, storing coffee, popcorn & making ice). The lock is interesting but doesn't have to be installed if you don't want to. Easy to change the door swing. Readily accessible temperature control. A nice little quiet unit. Comes with rather silly and not all that useful little ice cube trays.

I live in a small place and fits perfect enough to keep it inside a cabinet. It's super cold, freezes all type of food: shrimp, fish, meat, chicken, beverages, etcetera. I would recommend it always.

Great fridge for office.

Muy buen producto, llegó a tiempo y en perfecto estado, lo recomiendo
