Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

“Bought this freezer a couple of months ago. Needed some extra storage and the 5 cubic foot is perfect. You would be suprised how much it holds. Very light and easy to put in place. Came with a basket for small items. If you are a single person, or a small family this is perfect for you!!”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
How quiet is this freezer during operation?Based on 9 owner mentions
Reviewers consistently praise the freezer for being very quiet during operation. Multiple owners report that it runs so quietly they sometimes have to check to make sure it's working, and several note it's the quietest freezer they've owned. The quiet performance is one of the most frequently mentioned strengths across reviews.
Is this freezer a good fit for small spaces or apartments?Based on 8 owner mentions
Yes. The 5.3 cubic foot capacity is designed for small spaces, and reviewers consistently report it fits well in closets, garages, kitchens, and apartments without taking up much room. Many owners specifically chose it because they needed a compact unit that could fit in a corner or small area, and they're pleased with how it balances size with storage capacity.
How much food can this freezer actually hold?Based on 5 owner mentions
Reviewers are consistently surprised by the storage capacity. Multiple owners note that the 5.3 cubic foot freezer holds much more than expected, and several mention it's perfect for storing overflow from a kitchen refrigerator, garden produce, frozen meals, and bulk purchases. One reviewer noted it comes with a basket for organizing smaller items.
Does this freezer maintain stable temperatures?Based on 4 owner mentions
Yes. Reviewers report that the freezer maintains reliable, stable temperatures and cools down quickly. One owner noted they keep it set between -1 and 3 degrees, another mentioned it stays right around zero degrees without adjustment, and several confirm everything inside stays properly frozen. One reviewer specifically praised its 'remarkable temperature stability.'
Is this freezer energy-efficient?Based on 3 owner mentions
Reviewers report positive experiences with energy efficiency. One owner living off-grid noted the freezer draws so little power from their battery storage that they 'hardly see any increased draw-down,' and another mentioned they were initially worried about their electricity bill but ended up being 'happy with it' after seeing actual usage. Several describe it as a good value for the price.
What comes with the freezer and how easy is it to set up?Based on 5 owner mentions
The freezer arrives with a basket for organizing smaller items and an ice scraper. Reviewers report it's easy to set up and move into place—several mention it's lightweight and simple to position. One owner noted it arrived nicely packaged without dents, and another said it was easy to operate right out of the box.
Are there any recurring issues with frost buildup?Based on 2 owner mentions
Most reviewers report no problems, but a few have noted frost buildup. One owner mentioned that because the metal bin was placed hanging on the top, the seal was affected and frost builds up regularly in that area. Another reviewer mentioned the freezer is 'getting frosted up already,' though they were still evaluating performance. Defrosting is generally reported as straightforward.
What should I know about reliability and durability?Based on 5 owner mentions
Most reviewers report strong satisfaction and plan to keep the freezer long-term. However, a few owners mention concerns about longevity: one had a previous small freezer fail just over a year after purchase, and another received a defective unit initially (which was replaced and then worked great). One reviewer also noted a case of improper refrigerant charging. Amana as a brand is praised for durability—one owner has an Amana refrigerator that's 24 years old and still working.

- It works :-)
My freezer and I have been together for about 9 months now. It does its job quietly and never complains about having to live in a closet. A large closet, mind you, but a closet nonetheless. I was worried that defrosting would be a pain, but so far, it has not. The freezer came with a cute little plastic device. I live in Houston, TX, so I took me a few moments to recognize this as an ice scraper. (We usually use credit cards to scrape off the thin coating of ice that forms on our cars about once every 5 years.) So now, when I open the freezer, I just grab the little scraper and take one swipe at the ice, snag some ice cream, and close her up again. In between visits, it's easy to forget all about my faithful little freezer because it operates very quietly. The freezer is dainty. For me, it's just the right size. I had bought a new fridge that had a smaller freezer than my old fridge, and this more than makes up the difference.
TamaraNov 9, 2021 - Works great!!
Bought this a couple months ago, works great. Just what I was looking for.
Ed22Oct 1, 2021 - Bob
I bought this freezer as my larger on kept leaking unable to fix. Since it is just my wife and myself we did not need a large on and this one works out just right for us. we are very pleased with it.
Satisfied ladyJul 30, 2021 - Light to tell you the Compressor is running
So far so good. It is quiet when running. It has two indicator lights on it. One telling you it has power and the other telling you the compressor is running. We wish the basket in the freezer was a little bigger. Keeping the temperature between -1 and 3 degrees.
drummerMay 11, 2021 - great freezer
love just the right size for a small apartment hold alot of food and has a bin in it also
cooksterMar 19, 2021 - Perfect
This little freezer is a great addition to our house as it is small enough to sit in the garage but big enough to handle to over flow from the kitchen frig. Great price too!
Eli DMar 8, 2021 - Great Freezer
Bought this freezer a couple of months ago. Needed some extra storage and the 5 cubic foot is perfect. You would be suprised how much it holds. Very light and easy to put in place. Came with a basket for small items. If you are a single person, or a small family this is perfect for you!!
Henry111Feb 23, 2021 - Works well!
We recently purchased this Compact Freezer. Because of Covid-19 it took over 6 months to arrive. But we knew of the delay when we purchased it, so we understood the issue. This Freezer seem very well constructed. And the price was great.
jd manDec 21, 2020 - So quiet I have to check to make sure it’s working
It fits perfectly in our small kitchen, run quietly, and it is easy for me to arrange things inside, not so big that things get lost.
WisgirlNov 19, 2020 - Good deal for the price
The freezer is a nice size and works very well. My only negative comment is that because the metal bin was placed hanging on the top the seal was affected a bit so frost builds up on the area on a regular basis. This could be eliminated in the future by packaging the bin and placing it inside the large freezer area rather than hanging it from the top.
EGeorgiaNov 18, 2020 - Great freezer!
My Amana freezer arrived three weeks ago. It came nicely packaged and did not have any dents. The freeze controls work fine and I reset it to 4. So far, my family and I love this 5.3 freezer. It serves our needs, and fits perfectly in a small area of our garage.
MC37Sep 24, 2020 - Fabulous!
I bought this freezer about a year ago. I love it. It’s stocked full to the top. I don’t how I lived without it all these years. Fits well in my small space. It’s quiet.
