7.1 Cubic Foot Chest freezer on sale at Sams Club $139

[Beewrangler63]

After scouring the local Craigslist for a freezer or fridge to fit my fermentation chamber needs, I decided buying something new was going to be my best bet.

I went to our locals Sams Club to see what they had, when I ran across an Igloo 7.1 cubic foot chest freezer that is normally $179.00. Until March 25th, they are giving an additional $40 instant savings. I took templates of my 6.5 ale pail, 5 and 6 gallon Big Mouth Bubblers. The freezer will fit 2 and there is enough head space for an airlock.

Not familiar with the Igloo product line, but for $139 it beat most of what I was finding on Craigslist on either price or distance.

Here's what the interior capacity is. The gallon bubblers are sitting on the compressor hump. I normally use 3 piece airlocks, but wanted to make sure there was enough head space even for the S style. There is room enough to place a small heater in the corner. I cashed in some Christmas present Amazon gift cards and got me a Lasko 200 watt heater and an Inkbird ITC-310T-B dual stage temp controller.

Does this model have the refrigerator mode?

I have the 10cuft model which has that mode and I don't need a temp controller to use it as a keezer.

 

[Beewrangler63]

No, this one just has the freezer mode.
