Source: whynter.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by homery.com. The Whynter manufacturer page confirms the exact model: SKU FM-85G, "85 Quart"/"2.83 cu. ft.", external dimensions "28.1" W x 18.25" L x 23.5" H", "Two removable wire baskets", "ETL approved", and a "one year warranty" — matching this listing, not a sibling (FM-45G/FM-65G/FM-901DZ). Homery corroborates those numbers and adds explicitly labeled fields — "Style: Chest", "Defrost Type: Manual Defrost", "Energy Star: No", "Total Capacity Cu Ft: 2.83", "1 Year Parts and Labor" — plus the retail price "$606.83" (was "$899.00"). Note this is Whynter's portable AC/DC (115V and 12/24V) compressor fridge-freezer, a true compressor (non-thermoelectric) single-zone convertible unit; annual kWh (no EnergyGuide) and a garage-ready ambient rating are not published, so energyUseKwhYr and garageReadyBool are null.
