Whynter CUF-112SS Mini, Energy Star Rated Small Upright Freezer with Lock, Stainless Steel -1.1 Cubic Feet

The Whynter 3.1 cu ft upright freezer is compact yet surprisingly spacious, making it perfect for small homes or extra storage. It runs quietly, maintains consistent temperatures, and offers great value for its size and reliability.

I’m really happy with this freezer. Shipping and delivery were excellent — it arrived quickly, was well packaged, and there was zero damage. Setup was simple and it got cold surprisingly fast once plugged in. The 3 cu. ft. size is perfect. It holds a lot more than you might expect while still being compact enough to fit comfortably in a small space. It ended up being exactly the right size for storing everything I need it to, and I still have room for more. The build quality feels solid, the stainless steel looks nice, and the lock feature is a great bonus. Overall, it’s a really efficient, well-designed mini freezer that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Highly recommend if you need a compact freezer with good capacity.

I live in a very small apartment, 500 sq feet. But I do shop at Costco. So my small apartment freezer gets full pretty quickly. I decided to get a small "back up" freezer for overflow and for my husband's ice cream. This little 1.1 sq foot freezer does the trick and does it well. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I set it up, plugged it in and it hummed to life. It's very compact and it's also quiet. As soon as it came to temp, I plopped six lbs of ground beef, four lbs of butter and a bunch of my chicken stock blocks in it. They are frozen solid and I still have room for hubby's homemade ice cream buckets.

I chose this particular freezer because of the Energy Star rating. After reading the instruction book and safety warnings, I decided to install it under the counter in a 24 inch wide cabinet with the doors removed. It fits like a custom order. After waiting 4 hours for the refrigerant to settle, I plugged it in and set it to MAX as per instructions. After 3 hours it had reached a temperature of -10 degrees fahrenheit plenty cold enough, perhaps even a bit too cold for my ice cream products. It is very quiet but if you listen carefully you'll be able to hear the compressor kick on and off, but you really need to be standing right next to it to hear anything so for me it definitely passes the quiet test. We are fully off grid so energy consumption played a big role in choosing this freezer. According to the handbook it draws 75 watts when the compressor is running which is for our needs great! I will keep an eye on it and will report back should the energy usage change. The freezer arrived in perfect condition (which was a concern of mine after reading so many reviews). My only surprise/complaint was the color of the "stainless steel" door. It looks almost bronze to me and it certainly isn't even close to matching the other stainless steel appliances in our kitchen, or the other pics in various reviews on Amazon. I have written Whynter customer support to see if I am missing something. The product seems well made and as long as it continues to keep my food frozen I am very satisfied.

The 3 cubic foot upright Whynter freezer is an impressive combination of style, functionality, and affordability. Its modern, clean design looks great in any space, whether it’s a kitchen, garage, office, or apartment. The upright form factor makes it easy to organize items, and the clear, well-thought-out layout allows for quick access without digging through frozen goods. What really stands out is the value for the price. This freezer delivers reliable performance and efficient freezing in a compact size, making it perfect for smaller households or as a supplemental freezer. It feels solid and well-built, yet doesn’t take up much floor space. Overall, the Whynter 3 cubic foot upright freezer offers excellent performance, attractive design, and outstanding value. It’s a smart purchase for anyone looking for a dependable, good-looking freezer without overspending.

I compared products and reviews and settled on this freezer even though it was priced more than the others I looked at. I am not disappointed. This is a nice compact freezer with plenty of space that really looks great with my other stainless steel appliances. I was so excited when it arrived. Can't wait to fill it up. It even came with the cutest little ice cute tray I have ever seen. Thank you Whynter and Amazon.

This is a great small freezer! There is quite a lot of space inside and it is perfect for an overflow freezer and to store large items. If necessary, you can remove the shelves for really large items but I was able to easily fit three 7lbs bags of ice in the top shelf alone. It is easy to move, easy to level using the leveling legs, very easy setup and starts getting cold within minutes of plugging it in. I did a lot of research before I purchased and I highly recommend this one.

I rarely post a review, but have come to learn that the negative ones can be the most important ones and I sure wished I'd trusted them. Nobody, including myself, complains when something is working good. But it's when a product breaks down that you find out just how good the manufacturer is. I am out of warranty, and I received the freezer as a gift for a brand new bar I had built in my home. I understand things don’t last forever, however, you would hope it would be more than a year and a half to two years. Maybe this unit should be advertised as “May work great for a long time, or may not make it much past the warranty! Buyer beware!!” Bet their sales would go way down….. So, upon contacting Whynter, they were more than polite both on the phone, as well as in their emails. After giving me a list of possible problems, I responded that none of them applied and that my freezer was cold, but not freezing. After several more emails back and forth, I truly believe they did not read them, or didn't care, as when I finally responded: "Since you: “take all feedback seriously” and “all positive and negative feedback is reviewed by Senior Management”, let them know that I agree with the other reviewers that said Whynter customer service was polite but completely useless and there are other manufacturers that truly care about their customers. " Their response was: Thank you for your reply. We apologize that the unit is not freezing and appreciate the feedback. We would be happy to begin troubleshooting with you despite the unit being out of warranty." They went on to give me some of the same instructions that I had already told them didn't work! No matter how negative my feedback was to them about my freezer quitting working after being in the exact same location and untouched, they would just reply with the same things to check that I had checked and told them two emails ago. Even after telling them: "you can close out my ticket, as I just ordered another freezer so I would have it in time for the super bowl this Sunday. I would be really upset if I waited another day or two emailing back and forth and not have a freezer for the game." They again replied thanking me and telling me to troubleshoot the same issues! I really wish I'd paid more attention to the other one and two star reviews on Amazon. I really hope I can help someone that is looking for a freezer and point them away from this terrible product. Why can't a company just say they're sorry and do the right thing?? After all, if their product is as good as they say it is, replacing a bad one such as mine should be a rare occurrence......

I live in a small place and fits perfect enough to keep it inside a cabinet. It's super cold, freezes all type of food: shrimp, fish, meat, chicken, beverages, etcetera. I would recommend it always.

Muy buen producto, llegó a tiempo y en perfecto estado, lo recomiendo

Simple, small, basic freezer-only little thing. Perfect for what I needed it for (chilling martini glasses & shaker, storing coffee, popcorn & making ice). The lock is interesting but doesn't have to be installed if you don't want to. Easy to change the door swing. Readily accessible temperature control. A nice little quiet unit. Comes with rather silly and not all that useful little ice cube trays.

I get bad migraines and having to go downstairs to get an ice pack (especially in summer) was becoming difficult. This freezer is nice and compact and means that I have ice packs at the ready whenever a migraine strikes.

Great fridge for office.
