Energy-Star Deep Freeze Freezer
Cool News Cory, glad it is working fine.
A lot of early freezers, refrigerators and home air-conditioners were very efficient and would easily be awarded the Energy-Star award if they were being sold today.
In the case of Cory's freezer one of the major reasons that it is so efficient is the fact that it is round, and not terribly large in size, the only shape that would have been even more efficient would be a completely spherical ball shaped freezer.
When appliance manufactures first wanted to sell consumers appliances cost of operation was a big concern for people considering such purchases. It was hard enough to get customers to part with hundreds of dollars to buy the appliance, but if was going to cost even a few dollars per month to run that was another matter. You have to remember that the average national electrical cost around the time this freezer was built was around .03 cents per KW, so even in 1949 this freezer would cost a dollar or more to operate most months of the year.

That is very cool, and so cheap to operate. A couple of bio-hazard stickers and you wouldn't have to worry about anyone sneaking off with any frozen Twinkies!
My grandparents had a giant Deep Freeze on their enclosed back-porch, I never knew it was a "brand" until much later in life, they were all called deep freeze.

Cory,
please update us on how the DeepFreeze is doing after 1+ years in service.

It was going strong in mid-June when I visited.
Hey Tim!
Yep, it's still our #1 freezer. Keeps everything ice cold and is currently loaded to the lid. With this humid weather it's starting to get an even layer of frost on the inner cylinder, but nothing to be concerned about. Once the weather turns this fall I should give it its first defrosting.
Seriously. This thing was built to last. -C

Glad to hear it Cory. I still can't believe your amazing luck finding this true survivor. Here is an ad from Life magazine dated 7/29/1946 showing your model.

I HAVE A FREEZER
I bought a Frigidare Freezer in 1999. It's 20 cubic foot and is been in use since the very first day, It only gets a small ring of ice on top, and is easy to chip off. I refer to it as my Jeffrey Dahlmer Cadaver box. Never a repair, and its manual defrost. Best investment I ever made.
Hugs,
David

Me too.
I got a Kenmore 14 cu ft chest freezer about 15 years ago. I like it. Has the flash defrost feature, which makes defrosting go by rather quickly (once the freezer has been emptied, that is). I wind up defrosting it about once a year, at which time stuff at the bottom can be evaluated whether to use right away, toss, or move to top. I also have a Food Saver vacuum sealer which seems to add a year or more to the usable life of the item.
