Want to turn a stand up freezer into fridge for veggie farm ~40 F. Any reason this would not work on stand up rather than chest freezer?

I use it in my stand up and it works just fine. As long as the low temp of the unit is lower than the temp you're aiming for, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

I don't see any reason this shouldn't work on a stand up freezer just like it does on my chest type freezer. The only thing I can think of is you might have to determine where in the freezer is the correct spot to put the temperature probe to get the best temperature.

It should work well for this purpose. Upright freezer will probably have more of a temperature differential from bottom to top compared to a chest freezer, so placement of the sensor will be important. I use this with a chest freezer to maintain temperature of about 48 - 50 F for earthworms. Has worked very well for more than 1 year so far.

There is no temp control. It will probably keep already frozen food frozen for awhile especially if you add frozen ice blocks but I wouldn't expect it to act like a freezer. I also think the 40 degrees below ambient is optimistic. Here in SF the temps are generally in the 60's & 70's & we've never had anything in the cooler freeze, ever.

I have always frozen annual lime juice I made from our trees. I use the Food Saver and it is great. Of course when I first put them in freezer I stand them up and use a clothes pin to hold the bags while they freeze. Works great.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it'sbelow the capacity of the unit. I ran 2 chest freezers at once, but never tried to run more at once.If the power fails I'll just run each fridge & freezer for an hour at a time every few hours.

I usually take all my vegtables which I just purchase and place them in my Coleman ice chest and feed the plastic gas line into the covered cooler and run it for 10 minutes. The vegetables usually last much longer in the fridge after doing this, especially the brocoli, peppers, and and celery.

I keep mine in the veggie/fruit drawers in the fridge and they work perfectly.......maybe the other reviewers are using it on the counter or in the open somewhere and it is not as effective?

it will process fresh fruits & veggies, but don't try frozen fruits. it will destroy the cutter assembly! try putting as much liquid in first. good luck. after I had the Kitchen aid, I got a Waring Pro-same trouble. I finally got a NINJA and is wonderful

It does for in The fridge. But if you are storing Breastmilk I would keep it in the freezer. I don't knw. I have used the Lansinoh & Dr. Browns bags and the fit fine. I freeze them laying on top of the lid & the move them inside to stand up.

Kind of. Freezers don't cool in the same way a fridge does. If you want to convert it to a charcuterie cave that does not get opened often the freezer would be adequate but not ideal. If you just want to convert it to a regular fridge I would say no simply because you would open and close it too often and it would not rebound to the correct temp efficiently.

If you are talking about a refrigerator with the freezer on top instead of a side by side, of course it will freeze. A freezer is a freezer regardless of where it is positioned. I believe freezing temp is 32 degrees. Anything colder than that freezes. If you are asking if it will get cold enough just sitting it in the refrigerator, no it will not. It needs to freeze. I am assuming there is a gel or something inside the walls of the container, and that is what gets the liquid cold enough to freeze during the process.

The lock would do it but if the freezer is exposed to very low outside temps, the adhesive on the attachment may fail. It's not supposed to be under 60 degree F.

While freezing the cannister probably won't do any harm, it is really designed for storing your whole beans at room temperature. I am very happy with the way it keeps my beans fresh for a long time. I keep them in a cabinet at room temperature.

Yes and no. It's kind of a balancing act. We did not buy the stand, and are doing well with balancing them on top of each other. I would recommend to place them in a section of the freezer where you have minimal activity.

When you use the Food Saver Machine it automatically sucks the air out. You can use it with moist or dry items. I love this product as I like to buy in bulk sometimes at Sam's or Costco's and then I bring it home and divide it up. I'll sometime make the bags ahead of time but it depends on the size of the items you are freezing.

I wouldn't recommend you use this unit as a fridgerator. I doubt the unit can recover and hold the desired temp in frequent door open situations.

yes - it would if you don't need a separate freezer compartment. It is a single compartment that can be set to work as a refrigerator or freezer. seems to work fine, but with a somewhat large temperature range of control - maybe plus or minus 5 or more degrees F.

It is made to with stand freezing. I have had NO problem with mine. It freezes and when it warms up it thaws out.Or as stated in the instruction you could add some RV Antifreeze to it.
