It’s hard to beat the price per unit of volume ($/cu.ft.) of $35 per cubic foot that this unit offers. Most larger units seem to be upwards of $50 per cubic foot.
It was out of stock at most Montreal area locations on Friday (Pointe Claire/Laval/Vaudreuil), but seems like they just received more stock (I called to confirm that Pointe Claire received 12 units this morning). My guess is they will probably all be taken over the weekend.
A few notable features:
- Has 5 transparent drawers (and 2 top shelves) instead of only shelves. The drawers help prevent all the cold air from falling out and warm air coming in when opening the door, which also reduces frost formation. Also makes it easier to get items from the back.
- Frost Free
- Garage Ready in Freezer Mode
- Costco extends warranty to 2 years
- Has interior light and door open alarm
We have a combo fridge/freezer with 7 cu.ft. freezer in the kitchen. Will be putting this one in the garage, allowing us to buy and store more frozen goods when they are on sale, and to prepare meals in bulk and portion them to freeze for later consumption.
It would be good business if Costco is subsidizing the cost of these and selling them at a loss, as it would then allow their customers to buy more frozen food from them, thus it increasing their profits!
