Complete meltdown within 2 months
Purchased this item less than two months ago and came home to a complete mess after work. Yes it was plugged in, and NO the door was not open. While we were throwing out an entire freezer full of meet, the freezer did not even attempt at trying to run. Luckily we have a great local distributor who we won't have any problems dealing with. I know Whirpool is a great brand and will probably buy from them again. Just wanted to ensure that Whirpool knew that there was a faulty one out there. On the positive note- I learned it was VERY easy to clean! Shelves slide out easily and there are next to no nooks and crannies to collect dirt.

Does the job!!
We bought the upright freezer a couple of months ago and have been very pleased with it. We needed it for extra freezer storage since our refrigerator freezer is very small. The amount of space is ample for storing all of our excess food items. It is very quiet and keeps the food extremely cold. With extra freezer space, we make a monthly trip to Costco and stock up on sale items. This model does not have the"open door" alarm but is not necessary because it has a very tight seal on the door frame. The price is very reasonable compared to the savings you receive buying sale food items. I highly recommend it!!

Great Freezer and nice space
Great freezer. Great amount of space for food overflow and 20lb bags of ice. I hunt and make food in batches so it works great and keeps food frozen with ease. I was not sure about the size at first, kept thinking if I should go bigger, but I have a family of 3 and enough food in this freezer to live for months and room to store the thanksgiving turkey. The size works great in my garage. Overall so far very satisfied with the product.Also, in my opinion I found that the standup freezer lets you see and get to everything much quicker than the chest styles that I have used.

Excellent performance
From my purchase and ownership of a washer, dryer, refrigerator through the years they have more than exceeded my expectations in quality, design, performance and durability.The servicemen and salesmen are all professional and take their time to answer any questions about the products they sell. This is a huge factor. They're not only knowledgeable but they also believe in their products.I would advise anyone shopping to make Whirlpool their first and last stop. They need look no further for purchasing the best product that will ensure they have spent their money wisely.

Reliable Freezer
We needed a freezer and preferred the upright style with auto defrost. We were looking at less expensive brands and home improvement stores but the build quality was noticeably poor. We replaced all kitchen appliances about 7 years ago with a Whirlpool through Costco and never had any problems. Decided to spend a little more money on this freezer but so far it is worth it, and because it is energy star certified, we received a small rebate from Energy Trust of Oregon to help offset the price difference. Low noise and keeps my food frozen; we expect many years of use.

Keep Its Cool During Power Outage
We purchased this freezer in August of this year - 2011. We were impressed with how quickly it got cold. We were really impressed with how well it maintained its temperature during a recent 3-day power outage we had at the end of September 2011, just after we finished stocking it full. Not only did the alarm never even sound (only because it didn't get warm enough), but we didn't even suffer any freezer burn when the power came back on. Couldn't say the same for our new refridgerator freezer section (of another brand) which suffered a melt-down AND freezer burn.

GREAT FREEZER
I recently purchased a Whirlpool 14 CU FT self defrosting freezer. There was virtually no installation required, just plug it in and it was operational. The large interior shelving provides more than ample space to store a large amount of items. The door shelving also provides additional storage space.While I have it installed in my garage where the built in alarm is a most important feature. I especially like the Light which shows that the freezer is operating properly, which i check whenever I enter or leave the house. This i think is the best feature.

love my freezer
we like our new freezer very much. I like the safety feature of the red light at the bottom which indicates that the power is on and frig is working. the design and look of the freezer is very nice. we keep it in our garage as an addition to our kitchen refrig/freezer which is a French door frig with a bottom freezer. the freezer in our kitchen is pretty useless by design. I think everyone who has this type frig ends up getting a supplemental freezer out of necessity.I also bought this freezer because it was rated as having a good repair record.

Love it!
I gotta say, this freezer works perfectly for my needs. It makes little noise when running and I haven't once had any frost on my food and I've had this freezer for almost a year now. I have the freezer in the same room as my furnace and washing machine and dryer and I'm amazed at how seldom the thing runs. What I love the most is the suction it does when you close the door. More often then not, I won't close my refrigerator's freezer door all the way and I get frost all over everything. Not with this freezer though!

Better than expected
I purchased this freezer to replace one that had malfunctioned. I lost almost $1500.00 worth of meat because there was no temperature alarm. This new freezer is fantastic. It looks like once I replace all the meat I lost, I will be even more happy. Plenty of room. Only wish there were wire ledges that could be raised on the front edges so flat packages can be stood on end like a file to use the space better. I use a sealer that makes flat packages. Standing them up makes it easier to keep stock rotated.
