RUST !!!
10/17/2011
Pros
Works as it should
Cons
Rust
Best Uses
Dry climate
Comment:
If you are going to use this freezer in a high humidity location it will rust. It is not setup for this environment, condensation will form on the exterior and rust will develop. To my surprise rust is not covered by the warranty unless you catch it in thirty days.It appears to me that they know this will happen.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
We bought this freezer on sale at a big box chain based on [...] the store's website description--there was no sample on the floor to inspect.
