The freezer is one of those 'does what it says on the tin' products. It arrived, delivered right to the spot saved for it. I stripped the packing off (great diagrams on the carton); removed the tape holding the lid in place; located the plug, in it's discreet at the bottom of the back of the freezer, plugged it in and et voila. Up and running. Checked it the next day and it seemed to be really cold already, so popped some items in, some frozen and some fresh. The next day, I checked them and the fresh items were well and truly frozen. As it seemed so efficient, even turned it down a little. One thing I would have liked was a number scale rather than Low-Medium-High for the settings dial. Really impressed so far and at such a great price.
