About Whynter Black CUF-301BK 3.0 cu. ft. Energy Star Upright Freezer
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
73% appreciated the temperature control; however, 27% experienced fluctuations
I was able to set the door to 0 degrees and it operates smoothly while maintaining a constant temperature.
The freezer will freeze easily at a certain temperature. Also, avoid placing heavy items like food and water bottles at ambient temperature as it will take longer to bring the temperature down.
After just 4 months of use, the compressor has become very loud and the temperature is extremely variable.
During initial start-up, the chest-freezer runs very warm to the point where the outside casing is almost too hot to touch. This raises concerns about the safety of the unit, at least during that phase of its operations.
81% appreciated its size; however, 19% found it too large or small for their needs
I advise being mindful of the freezer capacity. My 2.1 cubic feet freezer is fine for now, but I may need a bigger one in the future.
The freezer is a tight fit in the spot I wanted to put it, even with ventilation room, but it's larger than I expected.
70% liked its quiet operation
The freezer has a small buzz when chilling, but it doesn't bother me as I have kept it in a closet.
70% liked its energy-saving features
I found that the freezer can easily freeze at a certain temperature, but it takes a long time to bring the temperature down if you put food, water bottles, etc over 2 to 3 pounds at ambient temperature.
82% found the capacity sufficient; however, 18% wished for more space
I have noticed that the freezer cannot hold 20 pounds of food at 70 to 80 degrees F all at once. For instance, 15 pounds of food at 50 degrees may take 24 hours.
