He walks back the 36 hours claim which he recognizes is a completely unjustified extrapolation. And the 'subtract 7 minutes' is a very dubious answer to a completely different question.

Based on my experience last week, I think the 36 hours conservative ballpark. My upright freezer (pretty full) was still OK at 48 hours but I don't think it would have completely made it through another 24. A smaller top freezer compartment had enough thawing that I had to throw some things, but not everything, out.
