Quiet operation, plenty of room, reached temp quickly but I did transfer a couple of frozen legs of lamb and pork and chickens to help it along. Would have liked some lights to show it is on, would suggest a freezer thermometer to keep an eye on temp as there is no warning if a fault until your food is thawed, last freezer from Beko had warning lights that is why we had a new one, the old one was about 8 years old so if this one lasts as long will be happy.
