I don’t think you’d be disappointed. We run ours 95% of the time on the default cycle but with large fill or max fill and not auto sense just to make sure we get plenty of water. I’ve done some delicates in it and not had a problem.

brother, but we got tired of needing to dig in it to get what we need (even with cardboard partitions dividing it up). Now I have the compelling need to powershop the local groceries and carnicerias for their best deals on meats, since I have space. (although as you can see I'm stocked for now on bologna...)
This Wakandan freezin bologna!For those wondering what 20 glorious cubic feet of newly acquired freezer space looks like........

This is it next to the over quarter century old Kenmore which I believe I have referenced elsewhere in this thread as the "Obelisk which laughs at time"
We also have a smaller 7cf chest freezer we got from

Total tax , title, and license delivered was right on $850. It was a GE, so I have a little apprehension, the the reviews on it seemed good enough for a patio/garage freezer.
Get shit on sale chief, stock up and freeze. Not to mention one of my comfort foods from my youth is the occasional fried bologna sammich.
My grandmother had one at her house and this was the way.... Opening it was always a reflex test to catch/push whatever starts falling forward first.
Then you need to round out your experience with a chest freezer that you keep a few heavy things on.
Agree. Otherwise they can just push the lid up and get out and a padlock looks too suspicious.
Yeah. I have both a chest freezer and an upright one in my garage and they both have their issues. You can get more stuff per square foot in the chest freezer, but if you actually fill it up, you can't get to the stuff on the bottom.

reminds me that this fridge that just died was bought before we updated the kitchen, and was almost 15 years old itself. 
chest freezers cost 25$/year to run so that laziness is efficiencySo yeah... Apparently I am fated to become the fridge person around here.
Today I notice that my usual morning beverage in the morning (Coke Zero over ice) wasn't producing as much foam/fizz as usual. I check the ice dispenser and the ice is coming out slightly wet. Apparently during the night last night the compressor went out on our fridge. SO this evening we migrated the contents of the freezer and fridge out to the old fridge and freezers on the patio (I literally have been so lazy that after adding that behemoth of an upright fridge I still hadn't unplugged the old little chest one. So we had plenty of space.
And the whole time I can hear it.. in the back of my head... that almost 30 year old Kenmore laughing at me, and taunting me about how my "sexy young thing" I upgraded to had died on me.... While I packed the fridge contents into it around my various drinks.
Then I go in and I'm bitching about how stupid low quality shit fridges die now and how nothing lasts, and
So looks like it's fridge shopping time... At least it's not an emergency situation and we have backup cooling handy.
if it's not urgent cyber monday/black friday imo then
A surprising number of the side by side options I'm seeing now are opting for a lower capacity ice maker, but it's built into the door so it doesn't "take up" a shelf in the freezer... Which is kinda nice.
oh thats cool, i mean the standard icemaker can hold like 5lbs of cubes lul , gets rid of the stupid auger too, who wants crushed ice?
