Can this be used on an upright freezer? The door sometimes doesn't get shut securely.

It could. the sensors dont even need to physically touch, they can gap nearly 1/4" As long as on is stationary and one moves away you will be able to get the signal.

Im sure it could however if the two pieces of the sensor aren't far enough away from each other when the freezer opens, it won't go off.

It's a good idea. I don't see any reason why it would not work. I assume it would be installed on the outside.

Mine will not fit upright on any shelf either in the refrigerator or the door. I think you need about 13" height space if you plan to place it upright ... maybe a little more to promote getting it in and out easily. I have to store mine on its side on the door and really don't like putting beverages on their side.

It is not designed to be used as a ice chest. It is a true freezer/refer. There is no drain hole on the unit. From my understanding compressor units should be left in the upright position so just tipping them over is not good for them.

Who knows -- attached to a metal door it would seem to lose connection at 15' of the freezer. I've also had it be pretty reliable at 20' of the refrigerator. It may be that the device range is different given different temperatures

I have it sitting on a part of my chest deep freezer that covers the compressor and acts like a shelf. It is not a hanging basket. It worked out good.

I have mine mounted on a Kenmore/LG 3 door refrigerator/freezer. & it works fine. If your top shelf has side mounts & not rear mounts holding the shelf in place I do not believe you will have a problem. It should work fine. Hope this helps. Comment from Randy below should be helpful also.

Sorry, I've never used it in the freezer. While I'm not sure the definition of freezer safe I will say, they are sturdy and the lid screws down tightly. I would put mine in the freezer if the need arose.

I think it can be - I have never used this particular one for that purpose, but I regularly use Glasslock containers to freeze all kinds of items. I would leave some space to allow for expansion.

It would depend on which model you are using. If you have an upright model then it will not work. Be careful of overheating which can cause the FoodSaver not to seal properly.

No...in fact, while the fridge part works wonderfully, the freezer part is not really efficient. The freezer "door" does not even seal and stays somewhat open. It will not keep even an ice cream sandwich frozen well. It turns mushy. It is a GREAT fridge, but not a good freezer at all.

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

It would probably work better than with a cooler actually. If you could mount it inside instead of on the door then it would work out great. I have noticed after using it several times with it mounted on the cooler lid that it really hates to stay mounted with the frequent closing of it.

Yes. It's very sturdy. I have it in my cabinet to store Ziplock bags and aluminum foil. But yes, it would definitely fit in your freezer -- if you have a freezer on top of your icebox. The side-by-side freezer/refrigerators may be too small.

I think it would but then you wouldn't be able to close the door. It isn't something that should be put on and taken off- it needs to be very tight so as not to slip.

I've never used this in the freezer, but I got curious and poked around a bit and can find no mention of freezer use anywhere for this product. But, a similar question was asked regarding another size (Lustroware B-2896AA Smart Locks Jumbo Keeper 2.1-Gallon Food Container, Large, White) and was answered "unofficially" as follows: "I think it would do fine but am not sure how the clamps would fare being opened while super cold. I would let it set out for just a few minutes before unsnapping them."

I used two shelves in my big upright plus part of my standard freezer. It's the only drawback to this program! Also, don't unpackage the food - they come in special microwave bags that steam the food! If you don't use them the food will not be as tasty.

Yes, it can. That's a good idea! It doesn't lock in place like it does with the lid on the top, but it should be perfectly fine in that position with ice below. These trays are a great value for this price. Very well designed, too. Can't go wrong.
