GE Upright Freezer FUF17DLRWW vs Whirlpool WSZ57L18DM

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)

This upright freezer from whirlpool is just the kind of smart freezer. You want with clever features that provide long-lasting freshness for your food...

This GE freezer has really good efficiency for an upright, a neat temp readout and temp adjustment on front *lockable* door, and nice glass shelving inside (they also have a slightly cheaper model with wire racks). They delivered right on schedule, unboxed so we could check for damage, and were very courteous. I will now add appliances to my online shopping list!

We decided to replace the old freezer and found this version matching perfectly with our cold drink fridge. Now that our freezer is indoors it nowhere near runs as often. Also being newer technology it was far more efficient. Shelving and storage space is perfect and it is very quiet

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.

Had to replace my sidekicks refrigerator so I purchased the matching freezer. Minor delay in shipping. Delivery was on time and very professional. Machine is quiet and cold

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.

no defrosting needed. The bottom basket sticks a little but other than that it is a great buy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
