Features:

Garage Ready
Keep it cool, no matter the heat. This chest freezer has been tested to perform in temperatures from 0°F to 110°F, so you can safely store popsicles in the summer or pot pies in the winter.

Basket Storage
Stacking frozen pizzas, meat, and popsicles efficiently can get tricky – that's when having baskets in your chest freezer comes in handy. Our freezers are equipped with wire baskets to optimize space and keep your contents organized.

Temperature Control
A temperature control dial puts you in charge of how cold you keep your popsicles. The outer dial allows you to easily control your deep freezer's temperature with the turn of a knob - without opening the lid.

Freezing Technology
Element deep freezers use R600a freezing technology. The R600a iso-butane is used as a replacement for R12 and R134a in freezers and has a low Global Warming Potential. R600a keeps your freezer’s contents cold while being ultra-energy efficient.
