Overview
The TABU 44001 is a 7.0 cubic foot chest freezer aimed at the heart of the market: enough capacity for genuine bulk storage at a price that stays reasonable. Seven cubic feet is the size most families reach for when a compact mini can no longer keep up with their freezing.
Where it adds a little more than the basics is control. A 7-level adjustable thermostat lets you fine-tune coldness across a range of settings rather than a single dial position, and the brand emphasizes low-noise operation, a welcome trait if the freezer lives near a living space. A removable basket keeps everyday items reachable up top.
With dimensions of roughly 21 by 20 by 32 inches, its footprint stays manageable for a mid-size unit, and its 4.3-star average across nearly 200 reviews places it on par with other well-regarded 7 cu ft freezers here.

Performance notes
At 7 cubic feet this is a true mid-size freezer for families freezing in bulk rather than someone needing occasional overflow. The 7-level thermostat gives you more granular control than a basic dial, so you can match coldness to the load, and the low-noise design is a plus near living areas. Its roughly 21 by 20 by 32 inch footprint keeps it from sprawling; as a freestanding chest it still requires manual defrosting and lifting items out to reach the bottom.
What buyers say
Buyers generally highlight the useful amount of space for the money, the quiet running and the flexibility of the multi-level thermostat. As with other chest freezers, the recurring criticisms involve the manual defrost routine and the effort of organizing a deep interior well.
It uses a 7-level adjustable thermostat, giving you more granular control over how cold it runs than a basic single-setting dial.
Is the TABU freezer quiet?
The brand emphasizes low-noise operation, which makes it a reasonable choice if the freezer will sit near a living space rather than a detached garage.
What size is it and what fits?
It is a 7.0 cubic foot model measuring about 21 by 20 by 32 inches, enough for a substantial bulk meat purchase plus weeks of frozen meals for a family.
