Frigidaire 5 cu ft (EFRF5003) review
Frigidaire 5.0 cu ft Chest Freezer (EFRF5003)
By Tom Calder
A 5 cubic foot chest freezer that fits in a utility room or closet. Amazon's listing calls it garage-ready, but the maker's page doesn't give a temperature range, so if it's going in a hot or cold garage, the GE or the 7 cu ft Frigidaire state theirs.
- Best for
- A smaller freezer for a couple or small family
- Skip it if
- It's going in an unheated garage
