Small upright freezer.
It fit perfectly in my utility room doesn't take up much space like my mini chest freezer and I like the shelves so I can see what I have and not have to dig through everything. So far I really like it. 👍

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.
Hello JustJen, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Frigidaire Gallery 6.5 cu. ft. Upright Freezer. We pride ourselves on our high-quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations. <br />It sounds like your freezer door is slightly out of adjustment. Here's a tutorial how to diagnose and resolve the issue:<br />How to Reduce & Resolve Frost Buildup in Upright Freezers, Refrigerator and Freezer Compartments of Refrigerators.<br />Frost occurs when moisture in ambient air touches the cold evaporator coils, metal shelves and interior sides of a freezer or refrigerator.<br />Steps you can take to reduce frost build up:<br />Move your hand around the outside of the freezer/refrigerator door. If you feel cold air, then the door is not sealing adequately. <br />You can adjust the door by loosening the top hinge to reposition/adjust the freezer door to create a tight seal.<br />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.<br />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.<br />Do not over fill your freezer to prevent food items from shifting and preventing the freezer door from closing properly.<br />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.<br />Wrap foods tightly with plastic wrap. Butcher paper is not an adequate wrapping material. Glass container lids typically do not provide a proper seal.<br />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. <br />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. <br />Set the freezer temperature so the freezers interior compartment stays around 0F (-18C), as higher and lower temperature settings contribute to frost build up.<br />Door Seal Care:<br />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.<br />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.

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.

Great product but sams customer service horr
Great product. Horrible customer service from sams couldn't get any help with buying and loading this. Had to ask four different people for help. Then asked for help loading on our vehicle… my husband who is 63 yrs old ended up loading by himself. But sams ask you to fill this out and never corrects anything

Great garage freezer
We had first set the freezer on high. Then we found the Ice Cream was like a rock, so we rolled it back to a mid-setting, now it's working great.

Defrost required every 2 weeks!
I really wanted to love this freezer because it was the perfect size and it was advertised as garage friendly. However, in the first two months (which was winter), we already had to start emptying it and defrosting it, I was concerned. As winter turned to summer the situation got much much worse. There was obviously a defect in either the freezer box itself or the door where it was allowing air and humidity to seep in in the middle top and middle bottom of the door. The seal on the door was in perfect condition. The unit itself was in perfect condition, but this manufacturing defect meant you had to empty the freezer every two weeks in the summer, fully defrost it to get all of the ice buildup out of it and then plug it in and start again for the next two week run. We were well within our one year warranty, but the manufacturer has advised us that they are not going to do anything to help us with this defective unit. Now we are stuck with no freezer, Sam's Club, since we purchased it, change their refund policy and are not honoring the refund policy that was in place when we purchased it, and now we have to look at spending more money for something to replace it. As for the manufacturer… You can only email them with warranty issues and questions. They give you a phone number where no one is able to help you. When you call they simply state they will escalate your problem and you will need to wait for somebody to respond by email. If you demand to speak to someone, they will tell you that no one in that department has a phone and no one in that department can take a call. Stellar customer service. 😡 Exceedingly frustrating with both the manufacturer and Sam's Club. Buyers Beware.!!!

While pushing the door closer to the body of the freezer tighten the door hinge. It will compress the gasket more firmly preventing the entry of warm humid air.

The freezer is NOT the same as display. Was disappointed. Needed the freezer. Would have like the pull out shelves.
