The old fashion chest freezer, like the one in my garage, is non frost free, holds a lot, is energy efficient, and costs less. I couldn't live without it once I had it. Kent |

That's not true when food is properly wrapped... and no one would buy a "self-defrosting" freezer... yoose mean frost-free. I grew up with the kind of unit that needed defrosting, *what a pain*. |

Properly wrapped (read FoodSaver vacuumed packed) does not dry out food. No freezer burns at all. Hate those manual defrosting 'fridge/freezers and stand alone freezers. |

I had to throw everything out >because >of hurricane Irene. > >Lucille If you didn't open it nothing should have spoiled in so short a time... I suggest you replace the door gaskets... you'll save more each year on your electric bill than the price of a new fridge. After four days my fridge section wasn't very cold but nothing spoiled, not even dairy, the half gallon of milk was fine. Everything in my freezer was still pretty much solid, even ice cubes... a package of saw-seege was just beginning to get soft so I cooked and ate those, I'm still here no worse for wear. Frozen food inside a closed freezer shouldn't have defrosted in four days let alone spoil. Naturally if an airhead keeps opening the fridge to check if the light comes on... I didn't open my fridge, I have a second fridge in my basement, didn't open that one either and so happens it had no perishables in it... deer bread n' carrots were fine... mostly I use it to keep canned/bottled staples chilled. I usually have that freezer filled with veggies from my garden but this wasn't a very good year for extra crops, that freezer contained some baked goods and containers of stoup. I had a bowl of left over rice n'beans in the fridge, probably would have been fine but I gave it to the critters. If the food in your fridge/freezer spoiled in just a few days then your fridge is not working properly... just because the power goes out doesn't mean the food in the freezer is defrosted ten minutes later. Probably the first thing in a freezer to thaw is ice cream, but should still be hard after 2-3 days, and even after 5 days still won't be spoiled, just melted... refreeze it, still good for baking or making smoothies. Always store ice cream in a plastic bag, keeps it from absorbing odors and prevents a huge mess in case it melts... my ex was an airhead, she'd scoop herself a bowl of icecream and then put the container back, in the fridge. duh Very few items folks keep in their fridge/freezer will spoil so quickly or at all; eggs, cheese, butter will be fine at room temperature for several days, some folks never refrigerate those. Condiments don't really need refrigeration, nor do beverages... soda and beer do just fine without refrigeration. Another good precaution when the power goes out is to unplug computers, TVs, and other costly electronics so they don't get slammed at once when the power comes back. Lucille, I have great difficulty believing all your food spoiled. |

Is this a top-freezer above a refrigerator? If so, it looks pretty well packed and somewhat organized to me. When I had only a top freezer above the fridge I'd put the meats on one side, the vegetables and misc. items on the other side. There were also a couple of door shelves where I stored dried herbs and some smaller items. Jill |
