My review of the GE model FUF17DLRWW freezer

1/15/2021
After researching freezers, reading poor review after poor review, and lastly the lack of inventory thanks to the plandemic, I found this GE garage ready vertical freezer, and I'm glad that I did. It was packaged superbly, was received with no damage whatsoever, and there were no missing parts. Removing it's internal packaging materials was easy, as was the handle attachment, and the final leveling at it's desired location. I plugged it in and I had to listen hard to hear it operating; it ran for the prerequisite 8 hours on turbo freeze and that was all there was to it.
As others have noted, the door seal is very tight, so instead of just pulling hard on the door to overcome this I place my thumb and forefinger together inbetween the top of the door and freezer then rotate them both 90°, which slowly and easily breaks the seal and opens the door.
All told I think this is a great "Garage-Ready" freezer, well worth the added premium when compared to standard freezers fo the same interior cu/ft dimensions.

Alarm Never Stops
CASA Andy
1/12/2021
We were excited to get our new freezer after waiting a couple months. We plugged it in and after a day the "high temp" alarm went off. We reset it and a couple hours later it goes off again. The alarm never stops beeping. I put a thermometer in it and it reads -16*. Temp is set at zero. I don't think -16* is above zero. Called Home Depot and now we wait until March for another one on backorder.

We wanted something with a small footprint, not too tall (basement has low ceilings) but good internal layout. This freezer meets and exceeds all of our expectations. I especially appreciate not having to defrost it.

Wanted a freezer for our garage. This one fit the bill with a great price range . the outside temp is an asset, the glass shelves are very sturdy and the drawer is good for storage.

Plugged the freezer in and the default temperature is zero. The freezer's high temperature alarm started going off and will not turn off. The freezer will not stop running unless I pull the plug. The internal temperature is 20 degrees below zero! Called on 1/09/2021 and have to wait till 1/15/21 to get it fixed. Not a good experience.

Great freezer, minor issues
Superglue guru

I'd love to rate this freezer 5 stars because I absolutely love the design with the multiple drawers and glass shelves and the outside temperature settings and door-open alarm. I'd say it's the best-designed upright freezer on the market. My two minor issues were with workmanship. First, one of the holes that holds a set screw on the handle was drilled too large so that the set screw couldn't be tightened. To solve the problem, I replaced the set screw with the next larger size, which I had on hand. Second, one of the shelf brackets was cracked where the screw connects it to the glass shelf. I've superglued the bracket as I await a replacement. These are certainly minor issues, and I'd still buy this freezer again, but quality control wasn't quite as stellar as I had anticipated it would be.

We have only had this for a few weeks, but am very pleased with it. Wasn't sure I wanted glass shelves, but really like them. I also like the pull put drawers and the extra depth on the door shelves. The door shelves take away some of the depth of the shelves, but it keeps the foods from getting lost in the back of the freezer and puts it within better view. I hope this freezer lasts as long as my previous one (65 years) but I won't be around to see.

This is an upgrade from an older GE freezer. The new on is better in every way. Most importantly is that it defrosts better. Also, it is extremely quiet, in operation.

Great product for the garage as the digital temperature is displayed on the outside of the door and easy to read. The glass shelves are a plus and this has a large capacity. The lock may come in handy if we have grandkids staying with us! So far so good as we have had this for about a month now.

No noise, like the outside door displays, inside shelving and everything froze well. It's only been a few weeks so it gets a 4 star until more time goes by. Because power surges & outages are frequent in my community & shorten the life span of freezers, I bought an APC UPS, 425VA UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector, BE425M Backup Battery Power Supply, Back-UPS Series so there is no bump in freezer operations until the generator kicks on. Located in our outside access only basement, we keep all extra diet busters (pies, ice cream, cookies, cheese, pizza) in it!

Thrilled with my GE freezer. The storage space is really awesome. I was not expecting a drawer under the top shelf that is perfect for freezing such things as cookie dough on a tray, hors d'oeuvres, anything that needs to be frozen on a flat area and then transferred to other containers. Also the shelves on the door do not allow items to slide through.

This is a really good upright garage freezer. Love the drawers and shelves. It seals really well. Glass shelves are so nice. My only issue is there is a small amount of frost that builds up on the items in the freezer. Maybe this is normal. This is my first upright freezer. I would buy again.

The freezer showed up as scheduled. At inspection I found a dent that obviously was damaged in shipping. Outside of the small external dent the freezer looked great. GE made it right after I called them about this. We've had it about a month now and we are very pleased with it. It was an upgrade from an old chest freezer we had. It has great shelving with glass drawers so we can actually find things now. I love the external temp that reads Zero all of the time. So far we love it and we look forward to using it for years to come!

This is freezer is garage ready and really spacious! It has large open shelving and compartments, as well as shelving on the door. It's perfect for organizing your meats, vegetables, and prepared meals.For more than 25 years, I've used GE products in my home and have been well pleased! Would recommend this freezer to anyone looking to purchase meats on sale, bake ahead for the holidays, or make ahead family meals.

We purchased this freezer for our garage as it is described as "garage ready." We've had the freezer for one week. Upon placing the freezer and plugging it in, it quickly (4-5 hours) reached its factory preset temperature of zero degrees. That was it! It was ready for food items. It feels very spacious to me and I can see everything I put in it -- unlike a chest freezer. Everything is working well right now. The real test will be when summer hits and the garage is hot. Fingers crossed!

Since it was delivered, this high temp alarm has continuously gone on, indicating perhaps a bad seal. Still waiting on a service tech to check it out. Additionally, the shelves are covered in ice crystals.

We were surprised with the digital control panel on the door of the freezer and now think it is the best feature in the whole freezer. At a glance we can tell if the freezer is working properly, if the door is shut and what the temp is. Great!!!
