GE Upright Freezer FUF17DLRWW vs Magic Chef MCUF3S2

RECOMMENDATION: AVOID this unit until GE Recalls units and fixes defective control boards. This is a know issue that they would rather fix later and inconvenience their customers. AVOID this vendor if you get a faulty one and expect a replacement instead of a repair (I didn’t mention, it was delivered without a box and the original box is required to return it)

Arrived 8/3/20 one day late but so far it working fine. Followed instructions with the set up, hoping it last for a while (photos attached)

Pros: lots of freezer space; has high temperature alarm; energy efficient. Cons: needs to be properly shimmed for door to close on its own, which may be difficult to to do alone; door hinge cannot be moved to allow opening in opposite direction.

It took a really long time to get the freezer - I think it was actually lost for awhile. It turned out to be smaller and holds a lot less than we expected. It doesn't feel like it seals well when you close it, and you have to be careful to keep stuff away from the door or it will pop open when no one is around. I wish we had kept our older freezer, instead of tossing it when we got this one

Nobody seems to have these available. For the extra $100 over the big box stores I've got one sitting in the garage packed full of good stuff. Beats being backordered any day.

I don't have any complaints to speak of currently. I'm glad I purchased it and you can't beat the price.
