What do you think of Frigidaire vs Danby freezers?

Frigidaire freezers are highly rated, and they are some of the top selling freezers on the market.

Just because it is popular doesn't mean it is better. Look at Nickelback.

Frigidaire freezers regularly leak, though some of this is simply poor design of the condensers.

Do I need to put one of their dehumidifiers by the freezer?

That would leak, too. Then again, their freezers don't have a lot of issues with defrosting either.

Was it Frigidaire refrigerators that leaked during the defrost cycle because the melted ice couldn't go down the drain?

Yes, one of. Frigidaire units are energy efficient, though.

I heard you need to get a freezer alarm with it.

Frigidaire's freezers regularly come with freezer alarms these days. But you should get a freezer alarm with the Danby freezer, since you're more likely to hear it with a Danby.

What is wrong with Danby freezers?

It is darn near impossible to find someone who can service the unit when something goes wrong.

I thought they were reliable.

Average to below average customer reviews. And when something goes wrong, they sometimes tell you to load a forty pound freezer in the car and drive fifty miles to an authorized repair shop.

When GE freezers break, they sometimes give you a coupon to buy a replacement freezer. Repair costs and disposal costs are at your own expense.

GE freezers have problems with refrigerant leaks and the control panel going out. You get similar issues with the Danby but with worse customer service.

I think all appliance repairmen are a source of complaints.

They'll send someone to pick up the defective unit if you complain loud enough, but they won't use the same truck to send you the replacement freezer.

I'm going with Frigidaire.
