According to the specs on that freezer, its range is -10 to -26C (so its limit is -14.8F). We too do not pack our freezers full (or put a bunch of items in all at once). We treat for 10 days and are dealing almost entirely with preventative treatment of objects and not actual infestations.

Hi Jim, I just purchased this freezer and it has been working very well the past couple of months. I spent weeks trying to find one lower that was affordable and had the right dimensions. It has been maintaining -20F or lower.
