Not Bad For Cost

I bough this to replace a 24 year old freezer I got from my grandmother that died. I was hesitant at first due to the cost and what the temperature range was. I brough it home, set it up, plugged it in & set it on the coldest setting. A couple weeks later after I had put some ice cream in it I found out it does get really cold. The ice cream was rock hard so I turned it to the next lower setting. It finally ended up on the #4 setting and thats keeping my paticular unit at 0F.

Very pleased

I live in my RV and it fits perfect. It could be a little taller, I replaced a chest type. Also wish it were auto defrost. But it is so much better than my chest type.

Great for an extra freezer

So far this freezer seems to be working very good. It's a great size and has several settings to keep stuff cold. The price was great compared to many competitors and was easy to set up. We have only had it a month but so far I would recommend.

Works well but has internal frost

Freezes breast milk, ice trays etc well. But at the top it ices itself over, doesn't make it less useful it's annoying seeing the ice and having it fall on the floor all the time.

Hello No, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the Frigidaire Gallery 6.5 cu. ft. Upright Freezer did not meet your expectations. If you would like assistance or have questions about product operation, please contact our support team at support2@curtiscs.com, 1-800-968-9853, or visit https://www.curtisint.com/product-support. This is a manual defrost unit. It sounds like your door is slightly out of adjustment. Here's a tutorial how to diagnose and adjust your freezer door: How to Reduce & Resolve Frost Buildup in Upright Freezers, Refrigerator and Freezer Compartments of Refrigerators. Frost occurs when moisture in ambient air touches the cold evaporator coils, metal shelves and interior sides of a freezer or refrigerator. Steps you can take to reduce frost build up: Move your hand around the outside of the freezer/refrigerator door. If you feel cold air, then the door is not sealing adequately. You can adjust the door by loosening the top hinge to reposition/adjust the freezer door to create a tight seal. Adjust the front levelling feet of your unit such that the front of the unit is slightly higher than the rear. Gravity will assist the door to close with a proper seal. TIP: Close the door on a dollar bill (or similar). The dollar bill should not easily pull out - there should be some resistance. Perform the “Dollar Bill Test” on the top, sides, bottom of your freezer door, and adjust accordingly. Do not over fill your freezer to prevent food items from shifting and preventing the freezer door from closing properly. Place only cool or cold food items in your refrigerator or freezer. Hot foods introduce humidity into the food storage compartment, which contributes to frost build up. Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer. Wrap foods tightly with plastic wrap. Butcher paper is not an adequate wrapping material. Glass container lids typically do not provide a proper seal. Dry the exterior of food before storing. By the time you reach home after purchasing frozen foods, the food items may have defrosted a bit and moisture may have already developed on packaging. Reduce the amount of time the door remains open. Labelling and organizing your foods so you can easily identify them will help shorten the number and duration of freezer trips. Set the freezer temperature so the freezers interior compartment stays around 0F (-18C), as higher and lower temperature settings contribute to frost build up. Door Seal Care: Keep the door seal clean. You can clean your door seal with a solution of one tsp of baking soda to a quart of lukewarm water. Pour the solution onto a clean sponge, and wipe it over the seal. Sponge off the solution with clear water and dry the seal with a clean cloth before closing the freezer door. Keep the door seal flexible by lubricating it with some petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline). Wipe it on and wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.

Small, great starter but frost builds up fast

It is a standup freezer, but it is small. Perfect for a couple or starter. Great for an apartment. But within the first month it already needed to be defrosted and had ice build up.

Not convertible to a refrigerator.

This is NOT convertible to a refrigerator. The description says the high end of the range is 50 degrees. The manual says the high end is 6 degrees. I had intended to use it as a drink refrigerator in the garage. Obviously, that won't work. Works great as a deep freeze.

Worked then stopped. Do not recommend

Worked great for 6 months.And then suddenly the power will not come on. Of course it is out of the 90 return window. Not worse, a service call.
