Great

Great purchase

Bought this last weekend and had to lay it on its side in my smaller SUV for transport. Followed directions in manual saying to stand it upright for 24 hrs before plugging it in. I did and it works great - cooled quickly and is VERY quiet. Good value - especially at discounted price.

I had originally wanted to purchase the 7 cu.ft. but is was always sold out so I decided to go with the 5 cu.ft. It's the perfect size for me as it turns out. It holds more than I imagined and the extra bonus for me is that it is on wheels. So far no complaints and our meat is really frozen solid.

The compressor is loud and runs almost continuously in my garage. After several days, it was moved inside believing the high temperature was responsible for the issue. There was no change . This unit was totally unacceptable and Sam's was prompt in refunding my funds.

This freezer is made by Igloo. I purchased mine for $99 less than 1 and 1/2 years ago. It stopped working but the lights were on giving no indication it had failed. I lost over $500 worth of food. Igloo's response? Sorry about your luck, the warranty is only for 1 year. I will never buy another Igloo/Thompson freezer again.

It looked great initially but then when full of meat unexpectedly broke down. When I realized days later I had horrible smelly, bloody mess that was puke producing. I contacted Sam's who told me to contact manufacturer. I contacted manufacturer who told me to get a repairman. Uhhh. It's dead and smells like rotten meat. Really? I'll never buy from Sam's again.

Good Size and Price

We purchased two of these for gifts for our kids. The freezer is small but made functional. We added two stacking cube totes inside to make organizing easier. The freezer is stated to be garage ready to with handle some temperature differences. It also has a lock out function to help maintain inside temp. This can be annoying, but actually a wise idea.

Purchased 7/8/17 for our daughter, so not enough time to use yet. Price was great, size looks good for amount of extra freezer storage & pick up at Sam's Club was really convenient. It fit down the stairs with 2 women managing it, however once it was uncrated we discovered that there were no leveling feet on this 5.1 cu. ft. model although website description states they are included. A call to customer service agreed that there were no leveling feet on this model. A piece of cardboard from the box was cut & used to level the freezer.
