Food will stay frozen for 36-48 hours in a fully loaded freezer if you keep the door closed. A half-full freezer will generally keep food frozen for 24 hours. If it looks like the power will be out for more than 2 - 4 hours, place refrigerated foods such as milk, dairy products, meats, fish and poultry in a cooler surrounded by ice. Perishable foods should not be left at temperatures above 40 degrees F for more than two hours.

Refrigerator-freezer combinations can be used for storing frozen food if the freezer is a true freezer (will maintain 0°F or less) and not just a freezing compartment. A better quality product will be maintained at 0°F or less. If a freezing compartment is used, store food for only one to two weeks. See similar questions...

The terminology used on food packages is regulated by the government to ensure that all products claiming specific terms are consistent, truthful, and accurate. See similar questions...

Delighted. We've heard some bad things about Norcold from time to time, but in our experience it has been bulletproof. We would do it again. In our case, the reality is that the staircase to the boat/bridge deck was a major selling point. We use it constantly as a convenience, and when raising or lowering the dinghy, it is an essential safety feature. Absent the stairs we'd have to leave the dink at some stage of hanging while we changed places via the pilothouse/salon route. See similar questions...

Depending on the package you decide on, the space can be moderate to considerable. What we find is that the freezer can fit these containers well once its cleaned out from all the old TV dinners and frost bitten food items.

A legitimate concern and one that can be easily handled on a local move. To prepare your freezer--pack all of the contents in small cartons and then return them to the freezer. On move day, the movers can then temporarily remove the boxes while handling the freezer and reload it when it is safely on board the van. This way you are able to use the freezer like a portable cooler without risk of damage. See similar questions...
