Sanyo HF-5017 5-Cubic-Foot Upright Freezer, White Review

I've had this unit running for about two weeks and haven't had any problems with it.
You can defiantly hear it run, unlike my full size Frig/Freezer. I wouldn't say it's overly loud or anything just something I've noticed.
Also the door swings the opposite way than I think it should but that is just my opinion.
The manual specifically says that this unit is not for placing under a counter or in any sort of enclosure.
The middle temp setting cools to 0F so that is good.
The compressor hangs out of the back bottom of the unit about an inch so the smooth back statement is somewhat misleading.
In all I'd buy another one if this one doesn't break....
Energy Star Label reads 321kWh's a year or $34. Similar models graph shows a range between $29 and $35, (Label is based on 2007 data)

Frigidaire : FFU12F2HW 28 12.1 cu. ft. Upright Freezer Review

I was actually looking for a smaller freezer to take the overload from my fridge freezer, but for the price difference, this somewhat larger freezer (12.1 Cubic Feet), which is frost-free and has an interior light was a much better deal. I remember my mother defrosting her freezer years ago and really didn't want to have to do that. It's a huge hassle. But neither did I need a big fancy freezer and my space is limited. This freezer really fits my needs. It is not too big (outside measurements: 5' H, 28" W, 26" deep)and not too heavy so it can sit on the little platform in the garage outside my mudroom door. We got it up the stairs on a hand truck with no problem. It's handy for me there and doesn't seem to mind the heat in the garage. It's well insulated.
I am using an appliance quality extension cord to the nearest outlet, which is working fine. We adjusted the front leveler legs up slightly per directions so the door swings shut by itself, which is nice if my hands are full. The door provides a secure seal. It has a pocket grasp handhold for opening rather than a latch. The door can not be reversed to open on the other side.
There are no baskets supplied with the freezer and I wanted those so have ordered some small freezer baskets Chrome Basket (Chrome) (8"H x 11.75"W x 12.75"D) for the shelves to contain my produce sealed in plastic using my FoodSaver. These baskets are a shade too wide to fit two abreast on the shelves, but I got one for each shelf and am using the other half of the shelf for things I can stack and larger items. The shelves, by the way, are non-adjustable, but well spaced.
I knew I wanted an upright freezer, but the extra space offers the unexpected bonus of allowing me to freeze homemade juice pops for the grandchildren (which need to be upright and level until frozen) and gives me room for a cookie sheet holding strawberries to be frozen separately before bagging and other unusual options my fridge freezer never really did (it is always too full).
I haven't seen an electric bill yet to assess the impact and I know it will be more than a manual defrost freezer, but I'm so delighted with this unit, I'm willing to pay a little extra. The energy guide that came with the freezer estimates $62/yr. That seems low, but we'll see. All in all this was a great purchase and highly recommended.
Update 12/14/09
I've now received three electric bills and am even further pleased that there is very little impact from running this freezer. I'd now guess I'll being paying about $50/yr to run the freezer. Another neat thing is that when a bad storm tripped the reset outlet where the freezer is plugged in and I didn't know it for two days, the temp never rose above 21 degrees in the freezer and everything remained well preserved even with no power. When I went to put something in the freezer and saw the light was off, I knew right away what had happened. Another reason to have the interior light, because when the freezer is between cooling cycles, it's completely silent so the light is what tells you it's 'on'. I have a gauge clipped to the outside of the freezer with a probe that attaches inside and lets me see what the temperature is. It maintains a much more consistent temperature than my fridge freezer does.

We recently bought this little freezer. It fits neatly under the counter and runs so quietly it makes our 7 yr older fridge/freezer sound like a wheezing dinosaur.
Each drawer sits on it's own freeze plate, so the middle drawers are cooled top and bottom. The average temp is as advertised with the bottom drawer slightly warmer than the others - but still frozen.
We are very happy with our buy.

Haier HUM013EA 1-2/7-Cubic-Foot Compact Space-Saver Upright Freezer Review

I needed a small freezer for storing excess frozen blueberries from a bulk purchase so after researching different makes and models, I finally decided to purchase the Haier mini-freezer from Amazon. Amazon offered free shipping and the price of the unit was $20 cheaper than my local walmart and target. It was very good customer service for Fedex sending two employees to deliver the mini-freezer so it arrived in excellent condition even though the way the mini-freezer was packaged from Haier was the worst I've ever encountered. There was absolutely no foam or packing material to protect the unit and after cutting one plastic strap the card board box fell apart.

After inspecting the unit for damage, I found one small dent near the top-right of the freezer door (See the images that I've posted above). I proceeded to follow the instruction booklet and plugged it in. I filled the mini-ice tray (Included with the unit) with water and left it in the freezer. Two hours later I checked to make sure the unit was still working and noticed the water had already frozen so now I have mini-ice cubes ^_^
I thought it would be helpful to include the mini-freezers interior measurements for usable space: I've measured the freezers interior top half at 15 inches wide with a depth of 12 inches, while below the removable wire shelf the bottom half measures 15 inches wide with a depth of only 7 inches (Usable space is lost due to the units motor).

Pros-
The unit is very quiet.
It looks nice and the handle is built into the top of the door.
The hinge can be moved to the opposite side depending on which way you prefer the door to open.
It has a switch in the back which allows temperature adjustment from 1-7 (I have it set on 4).
It has a removable wire rack inside the freezer.
Cons-
Some of the space in the lower section of the freezer is lost to the units motor.
I'm very happy so far with my purchase and recommend this mini-freezer to anyone that needs a little additional freezer space, but keep in mind there is a high percentage chance it will arrive with a dent >_

Conveniently store up to about 46 pounds of meat, vegetables, bread dough, and other meal ingredients in this upright mini freezer. Compact enough for dorm rooms or apartments, the unit provides 1-2/7 cubic feet of storage space and one full-width coated wire shelf that slides out for quick and easy access to its contents or to make space for taller items. Furthermore, its adjustable thermostat offers fully customizable temperature control--keep it extremely cold to safely preserve meat; alternately, use a slightly lower setting for perfectly chilled beverages and frozen treats. Equipped with a reversible door that can be assembled to open from either the left or the right side, the freezer's versatile design ensures a good fit in nearly any space configuration. Other highlights include a manual defrost system, a recessed handle that requires no extra clearance space, and a clean white design that will nicely accommodate any home or office decor. The freezer measures 19-3/4 by 19-3/4 by 20-2/7 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with a five-year warranty on the sealed system.

With a 14-4/5-cubic-foot capacity, this manual-defrost chest freezer provides additional storage space for extra groceries. The unit comes equipped with adjustable temperature control, an interior light, a power-on light, and a top-lifting door with a built-in handle for ease of use. Its lock-and-key system keeps the freezer door shut and securely locked, plus the key automatically ejects to prevent being left in the lock. Accessories include two StorMor lift-out baskets, which offer convenient storage for easy access to most small frozen items or frequently used items. A food organization system also comes included, consisting of heavy-duty dividers with pre-printed storage labels. When 1/4- to 1/2-inch of frost has accumulated on the inside of the unit, remove all frozen-food items and defrost and clean the freezer. A defrost drain at the base of the unit makes it simple to drain the water. After defrosting, wash inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda. Removable parts and the cabinet exterior can be cleaned with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe all surfaces dry with a clean soft cloth. The chest freezer measures 29-1/2 by 48 by 35 inches (60-13/16 inches with the lid open) and carries a one-year warranty.

Frigidaire FFC0522DW 5-Cubic-Foot Manual-Defrost Chest Freezer, White
Beautifully quiet operation, thank goodness cause we had no room in our tiny kitchen so we had to put it in a corner of the dining room. We live in an apartment and the landlord doesn't allow for us to buy our own refrigerator, but we needed the extra freezer space for meat, ice and vegetables. This is perfect, quiet and not bad looking. Its easy to move so that we can clean the floors. Great product, I'd recommend it.
