I read the reviews before I purchased this freezer so I knew it would be somewhat loud. It is VERY loud compared to my old Amana freezer which never made much of a sound at all. However, this is not a problem for me because it is located in my laundry room.
This freezer is great looking on the outside and inside. I love the solid shelves (not wire) and the adjustable bins in the door. And at 20.6 cu. ft., it has tons of room.
I actually compared Frigidare freezers from Best Buy and Lowe's before settling on this Kenmore Elite. This is not the cheapest, but you get a lot for the money.
