Frigidaire AFFC1466D

This (now-discontinued) Frigidaire model was one of the few self-defrosting chest freezers, but as with upright freezers, a self-defrost option boosts the price over similarly sized manual-defrost chest freezers.The Frigidaire freezer had 13.8 cubic feet of space, an interior light, a power light, a locking door and four baskets. It was not Energy Star-rated, so electricity costs in the long term were a bit higher compared to an Energy Star freezer. This Frigidaire chest freezer was a good performer in tests, but it took some knocks in reviews for noise, and as with all chest freezers, it was harder to load and unload than an upright.

The Frigidaire AFFC1466D was one of the chest freezers included in a 2007 ConsumerReports.org' roundup of 15 chest and upright models. There are a few owner-written reviews at Epinions.com, and these comments provide useful information for those who are considering this model.
