Midea MERC07C4BAWW 7.0 Cubic Feet Chest Freezer Cu.ft-Convertible, White

Background: I had wanted to buy one of those instant countertop ice makers but did not feel I would be getting a quality product for less than $200. By accident I came across these mini freezers and thought if I was going to spend $200, why not go for a full on freezer and make lots of cold ice?So that led me to buy the 5.1 cubic foot mini freezer which can double as a fridge if you need that.The following is my Initial impression only. Durability is TBD big there is a one year warrantyI Received the unit delivered to front porch by friendly Amz person. Kudos on delivery!!lOff topic: the Amazon truck made an ungodly screeching sound when it was backing up. I was working out in the garage when the unit arrived and thought my neighbors dog had attacked a goose. Nope. That's the new backup warning signal.Back to the review...I inspected box based upon various reviews which mentioned dents/damage. Box looked good. Unboxing was easy enough and thorough Ispecton revealed zero damage. Maybe a very slight cladding bend at one lower corner but insignificant IMO. All panels were in excellent shape.Installed in my previously prepared spot and plugged in after ops manual directed 30 minute wait. Unit immediately began cooling and I loaded with four large ice block molds also purchased from Amazon. Freezing in progress but it is COLD in there.You will need to organize storage because you are basically placing frozen goods in a 30 inch deep box. The provided basket will help but we plan to buy several additional boxes to segregate meat, frozen fruit and so on. There will be some fussing around getting to your desired foodstuff but easily managed with a few containers.There is no auto defrost so you will have to do old school defrosting from time to time.It's is weird in that there is a defrost drain at the bottom of the unit but this is not identified in the ops manual. So you will need that drain occasionally for defrosting. I am already seeing some frost build up. Of course I am opening the unit much more frequently than normal because I want to observe how it's working. This will allow humid air to enter the unit. Lesson is open the thing only when you NEED to open it.Overall really pleased so far and would recommend this unit unequivocally. As mentioned earlier. TBD on durability

I absolutely love this little freezer. I’m 77 years old and live alone in an apartment. I spent the first three-fourths of my life in the public eye (running newspapers) and I’m doing everything I can do to have absolutely no human contact for the last quarter. This freezer contributes by letting me have groceries delivered once a month and never set foot in a store.The freezer maintains a temperature of about 2 degrees. Google says 0 degrees is optimal but 2 seems to serve the purpose. I bought four wire baskets when I bought the freezer and I’m going to buy four more just to make access to specific items inside the freezer easier.I’ve only had the freezer a couple of months now, but at this point I’d recommend it.

The price was more than fair, although I was not successful in catching a sale. The size is perfect for my needs. The unit was delivered with no imperfections which I understand is not typical. I did purchase a set of 4 metal baskets which will make finding products much easier. I do recommend making this after market purchase. The unit’s cover remains open on itself and there is an interior light, both very helpful. The product runs virtually silently, and I have set the control to 9:00 to get a 0’ temp. I am more than pleased with my purchase.

I am quite pleased with this purchase, as I needed an an extra small freezer to fit my extra meat, chicken and vegetables.I was ar first skeptical even after reading the many positive reviews..one question kept bugging my mind, could it be the right freezer for my needsI wanted something that is small in size and not to take so much space, and efficient , and as a no brainer not to spend quite a bit of money..the rest is history..I have ordered this freezer, and few months after owning it it didnt disappoint.First, it is quite quite efficient, is also energy efficient and got the item foods frozen solid as advertised . Kept items at the right freezing temperature..Second, its size is a plus for someone who is limited in the space .Third, easy to operate, setup, and transfer.So far, I am glad that I choose this freezer, and so far had done for me what I exactly expected.Photos showed items I had in the freezer, frozen solid !I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a good performing freezer, small size and easy on the cost.

Just got the fridge in and so far looks great! Easy plug in and let it sit to be cooled. Shipping was great too. No exterior damage. However, inside there is some sort of faint line or scratch on the curves of the corner. You can’t really see it but based on touch, you can feel the multiple scratch lines. Not sure if it is a problem but will keep an eye on it.

I have noticed some compliments about damage on the freezer. If you still have paint on the area the damage was done at the factory before it was painted. Not done during shopping. If you don't have any holes around the damaged area the freezer will work normally and stay cold.
