    Hi! I just received mine and there are three settings Min, Max and off. What setting did you leave yours at? Do you have to leave it on MAX to get 0 degrees?

    • @AwkwardHamster
      @AwkwardHamster  4 года назад +2

      I do not leave it at max. Mine is set to min. I got an analog thermometer and it reads roughly 0F to 3 F

    Does this freezer have any type of wi-fi or smart home protocol? I'm hoping no, it's a long story. I just need a bare-bones freezer.

    • @AwkwardHamster
      @AwkwardHamster  4 года назад

      It doesn’t have WiFi or smart home functions. But, it does have a drainage hole and temperature control, which are must haves for me.

      That could be a hose connector for draining it through a hose or tube rather than into a bowl or bucket. I saw it in a different video.

      There wasn’t a cored storage compartment. I guess if I needed to replace the cord I would have to open the back.

      Blu-Ray I think 0 F is just right for freezer. Only time I saw ice buildup was when it was very hot in the garage and ice would build up around the rubber seal.
