Danby DCF038A2WDB-3

Another excellent alternative that we highly recommend is the Danby DCF038A2WDB-3 chest cooler from the Danby brand, which comes in a flexible but small 3.8 cubic foot capacity. The item is priced at about $270 on Amazon. (Danby DCF038A2WDB-3 is also available on Wayfair if you prefer this platform. Just keep in mind that the price there is a little more pricey.)

Clients who live in small-sized houses and flats said that this chest freezer enabled them to stock up on a variety of frozen food needs. It cools rapidly (in less than an hour, says one reviewer) and operates quietly. Additionally, the manufacturer provides a 5-year guarantee.

"I had it primarily stocked with meats and seafood after PG&E's recent 'public security power failure' in California," one customer said. "In the freezer, I had a gallon sack of crushed ice on the top layer. After 38 hours without electricity, the ice had remained completely solid. I was very satisfied with its performance."
