Unboxing and Setup of Cheap Walmart Arctic King Chest Freezer 7 CU FT

I just got a arctic king chest freezer from walmart for all my veggies and this is just a unboxing/setup. It is the perfect size for me and was not overpriced since I was looking for something cheap on a budget. Mine arrived in really good condition compared to some of the reviews I saw of them getting really beat up during shipping. I am happy with it so far and it looks nice. Its not as heavy duty as my old Kenmore so I have to be careful when throwing things around in it. I don't think any of the new freezers are made as strong as they used to be even if it is a higher priced brand. Its definitely a good choice for a freezer on a budget if you want something between 5 to 7 cuft. If you get it shipped its just a gamble on whether it comes damaged or not which is the main thing I was worried about. Picking it up locally is the safer way if your worried about damages so you can inspect it at least.

I got the 5 cubic foot one, and the hardest part was getting the power cord out. I had to use a butter knife to snap the plastic door open on the right side and gently wrestle the part with the plug out. Thank you for demonstrating what the manufacturer assumed was obvious.

Thank you so much for this video. I could not figure out the little door for the power cord. Then when I figured it out, it was really stuck and I had to use a tool. All's well that ends well.

[@lizweal1950]

I saw where it was but until this excellent video I couldn't figure out how to open it without damage. It was but I did it without any tools. Mines came today from Walmart without any dents. I just plugged it in after sitting for hours

[@GodisAgapelove4172]

How do you like it?

[@nicolesharae1722]

U should let your freezer sit for a day before plugging it in. Don't plug it in right away, let things/flyids/electrical connections settle.

[@bradgarrett7790]

I seen this and immediately went and unplugged mine. It had only been in for like 3-5 minutes. I have another q for you.?? The vent on the right hand side at bottom when you are about to life the lid.. does it need a lot of space?I have one of those "white plastic shelf duty unit" directly beside the freezer. Will it get hot and cause problems and should I not store certain things beside it?

[@LibtardsTears]

I bought one in brandsmart USA down here in Florida, a different brand than yours but I’ve had it over 7 years with no problems. Perfect for times like this. got all my chicken, fish and veggies stored so I can avoid going to the store so often

I eat a lot of veggies on my current diet and didn't want to have to go to the store every week so this is what I needed. I hope its as reliable because 7 years and still going is really good.

[@DepletedWisdom]

It has been a couple years. These are still for sale at Walmart. Is the one you displayed still working well? Any problems?

[@CookingWithGbemi]

So helpful in figuring out the power cord. Thank you so much

[@tomsisco3635]

Getting access to the electrical cord is a real problem. I wound up pulling off the whole larger plate with the door still closed. The problem is that it's hard to see the door as separate because the whole thing is black plastic and far away from your eyes. Solution -The door is mounted on and sits over that larger plate. The door opens separately from the larger plate as shown in the video but the trick is finding the thin door seam that separates the door from the plate it is mounted on. The plastic door is only about 1/16 of an inch thick (like a stick of chewing gum)... so get your fingernails just under that thin plastic door. That seam is the place to pull the door open.

[@BRITTWOODNESHIE]

Nice. My grandmom is looking to get a deep freezer, so I always have to look at reviews before I or she makes that purchase. This feels like an honest review. 👍🏼

[@justbewilling8344]

I have had mine for almost 3 years. It was a good investment and cheaper than others. What setting do you keep yours on? Mine is full of meat and vegetables etc. I moved and I think I put it up to high this time because it has frost in it. Do you have this issue? Today I put it in the middle instead of high. I hope that helps with the frost.

[@kimjay481]

Thank you so much. I had a little trouble with the power cord too and found your video.

[@bungefn]

i bought one and it is really nice with temperature and everything but it’s very loud and the noise doesn’t stop as long as it’s plugged in it will keep making really loud noises until unplugged

[@shenp1594]

Ordered the same freezer 2 years ago. It seems to be running too cold. My wife feels everything is "too frozen". I've adjusted the temp to "MIN" months ago in hopes that it would solve the problem. There has been no change. Any suggestions? Should I empty and defrost the freezer and start over? The fact that the temp gauge spins 360 degrees makes me wonder if I screwed it up by turning it too far at some point. Any help would be appreciated.

[@magicbobNJ]

Hi Steve. I thought your video was excellent. But I do have some questions. I currently have a 7 cu ft freezer and initially, being an organized person, I started with 2 moderately good size covered bins. I basically use my freezer to stock up on sale items I regularly use, and could easily buy 6-12 mo worth of an item if it can keep that long or longer in a deep freezer. Therefore, the idea of putting only a certain category of item in each bin eventually didn't work, because I'd either buy more than could fit, or I'd have less of that category so the bin wasn't filled or even could be empty, so I was wasting space. Have you had this issue, and if so, what is the solution when much of your buying pattern is related to buying when on sale at a good price and exceeding the bin you marked for that category? And the same when the bin is 1/2 full or less, or even empty. Do you keep it that way or do you change the category and then if you later buy more of the category you were out of, where do you place it and still keep everything organized so you can find it easily?

[@user-dm6so7uw4j]

[@davidwatters3977]

I think that those folks snapping up new freezers (like me) have this sense that this COVID thing isn't going away any time soon, and food storage is a high priority. It has turned me into a home prepper.. I want at least 3 months worth of nutritious food set aside at all times now, and a month's supply of water too. lastly, I really like the look of a deep freeze in black it will fit in with my wall and floor color nicely! :0)

I have a very simple question....In the instructions-it says "remove the protective wrap frop the door AND THE BODY of the freezer. I got the shrink wrap off the top door because my inconciderate friend dragged a box across the top and therefore tore the shrink wrap on top-to get it started. But I cannot for the life of me find a place or way to start the shrink wrap removal on the body of the freezer - WITHOUT DAMAGING THE ACTUAL FINISH ON THE THING. anybody know how or where you can pull the shrick wrap away to work from there?
