RCA FRF470-BLACK 7.0 cu. ft. Chest Freezer, Black

Arrived damage free and its running like a champ. Much more storage than i expected i must have been looking at the 5.0cf freezer. Great relief to have it arrive in such a shott time. The previous freezer i ordered from a different seller never showed up.

Cool and quiet.

I actually almost lost 1000$ worth of meat relying on this freezer. Meat was frozen, i let this freezer chill for about 36 hours i put the frozen meat in it and the meat began to thaw. I had to cycle the meat and put it in friends freezers. Aswell as my personal freezer. After being loaded it didn’t finally refreeze the meat for almost an entire week. Be careful using this freezer. Don’t listen to the directions. It has kept the meat frozen thus far.

Edit: my husband admitted that it was user error lol. Gotta plug it up before you use it

I didn’t realize how big it was gonna be but i’m glad i chose this one instead of the 5cu ft. Arrived a day early too. In perfect condition and runs great!

I love this freezer, i just got it today. Looks great in my kitchen, and i love the size. I was getting worried because it states the width is 22′, which was perfect for the space i have. I then noticed a review that stated it was actually 29′, so i was starting to get nervous and was thinking if it is 29′, i was going to have to send it back. I was happy when it arrived and it was 22′. I also read a review that someone was having a hard time getting the yellow sticker off. They must pay attention to these reviews and change stuff as needed, because mine was held on with a small piece of tape which came off easily. I would recommend it, but if you wait for it to be on prime you will save $60. I kept it on my wish list and watched till prime had it available. You have to keep and eye on the item and act quick once it is back in stock on prime.

Fantastic purchase. I’ve been looking for a black 5.1 capacity deep freezer, and was having zero luck. A lot of other sellers were asking crazy amounts of money online. Can’t beat the price with free shipping! Plenty of storage for its size, and once it’s plugged in, it freezes fast. It arrived very quickly, which was a lifesaver as my regular freezer had begun spitting frozen items at me every time i opened the door from all the stuff crammed in there lol. The only thing i’ve noticed that some may find undesirable is that after you close it, the thermostat kicks back on and there is an audible low whistling. It only lasts a few seconds, but it scared the bejesus out of me the until i got used to it. I don’t think this means there is anything wrong, it’s just the freezer doing what it’s supposed to do.

After reading some of the reviews about damages and items not working and such, i was kinda terrified to order this item. However, i read enough reviews to know that if it arrived undamaged, it would be a good buy. Well, it arrived well-packaged and undamaged. Took me a couple of days to get the temperature adjusted to where i wanted it, but ended up using the ‘3’ setting to get below zero. It’s extremely quiet and i love it. Someone mentioned that the yellow tag was hard to remove. Maybe they had a different vendor or something, because mine came off fine. I would highly recommend this item, even if it had not been on sale.

It is dented up you are guarantied to get a dented up freezer here, don’t listen to that voice that says well i might not get one nooo!!! Don’t listen!!!!

With that said it has been very reliable!!! And extremely energy efficient!! I am in california where they kept shutting off our power without regard to our food or offering replacement (pg&e shut off) besides that while others food went bad by the time peoples power was turned on, my food was still frozen!!!

So while i gave negitive before over dents because how it has performed it earned the 5 stars!!!

I did a lot of research before settling on this item. Although this igloo did have a minor ding in it,the boxing proved to be efficient. I have to say i was surprised on how quickly this freezer got to -10 in very little time. The compressor is low noise! Very well made!

Update:2/6/17 after almost 2 months,i have to admit that even standing next to it,you can just barely hear it running which is not very often even stuffed to capacity! What a ‘well made’ chest freezer this baby is! Totally impressed!

I ordered this freezer for use inside my apartment because the size of the refrigerator freezer provided by the building just wasn’t cutting it. It’s not bulky or noisy at all. Very quiet to silent when in cooling mode. The black color matches my appliances and decor so it doesn’t stick out like a white one would. Perfect for storing meats, frozen foods and bags of ice when you are having a party!

Great additional storage for the garage

Nice size- not too big- not too small

Very excited about receiving my new deep freezer. It came quicker than expected too. But when we received it the shipping box was damaged as well as the freezer. I don’t know ‍ if i should send back and risk losing the food i purchase it for or deal with the dent.

Ordered this to supplement my freezer space with my big family seems to do that quite well. But i was kinda disappointed after laying the price for it, showed up with the side caved in. I don’t want to hassle with attempting to exchange it.

Exactly what i needed. Small ding in the corner, not an issue can hardly notice unless you looking for it. Not noisy but you can hear it depending on where you have it or how big your place is ( i am in a 580sqf apt ). Does what i need it to do. Have only had it about a month but so far so good.

Update… It has stopped working after a 1 year and it is passed warranty. Not sure if it is the start relay on it but trying to find parts is impossible. Do not buy it is a waist of money. Now i have to replace it with 3 weeks until thanksgiving ugggghhhh….

Update 8/3/2022: after fixing the issue above in 2017 it is still going. I love my freezer. It gives me that extra space i need.

So far, no issues with this freezer. Like other reviews, this arrived with a dent in the front, which means little to me since i would probably have dented it anyways. It is indeed an rca freezer instead of an igloo, which i am slightly confused about, but i guess i am not mad about it since it still works fine and i got a good deal. I would say that, like most online purchases, you have to make your own mind up, but i feel it was a good purchase overall.

Awesome freezer love that it came in black. Very secure packaging.

I received my freezer yesterday, and am extremely pleased for the most part. It actually arrived faster than you had anticipated. Once i got the bix opened and the freezer all set up i noticed it had some damage – a dent on the door and the lower right bottom corner- in the front was also damaged, like it had been dropped. Overall i like the product but …..

Love the product. However shipping was a joke. I had it delivered to my daughter at college. She was home at the time. Lives in a second story apartment and the delivery guy left at the front desk. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours in my truck to get it and took 3 of us girls to get it up the stairs when ups has handtrucks they could have used.

When i received the freezer, it was left on my door step. When i opened it the corners were damaged on 3 sides. I just didn’t have the time or energy to send back. The freezer does work very well though. I just really hate the fact that my freezer is beat up looking. It does not look brand new.
