Horrible piece of crap
Stopped working after 6 MONTHS. Sam's Club didn't want to talk to me. Only available rep in the Phillipines. I lost over $500 in food spoilage. Will never again make any kind of major or important purchases at Sam's.

Don’t Buy
Bought this upright freezer about a year ago and it quit working. First it was the bottom shelf then the rest of the freezer went out. Do not buy, does not last. Very disappointed

Did not last.
We brought this freezer about a year and half ago. Went to take something out of freezer to find it quit working. Ice was built up top so probably did not have a good seal. To make things short we lost 60% of our food.

Won't work LONG!!!
Ordered online for Club pickup which was good. Installed and it worked a week and leaked refrigerant out and quit freezing. Lost $200 worth of food. BEWARE!
Defrost every two weeks
I bought this freezer a year ago. It does freeze, but it does not seal properly. We have to defrost about every two weeks. We should have taken it back.
Hello Grandma, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Thomson 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 door is out of adjustment allowing warm humid ambient air to enter the freezer where the moisture condenses and freezes. Here's a tutorial on how to reduce frost & condensation in freezers and refrigerators.<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, both 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.
Do not buy
Got it home and unpacked it - has a huge dent all the way down the front of it - ridiculous - now we are expected to pack it up and take it all the way back to the store

BUYER BEWARE
Had freezer for 2.5 years and it just went out. Online reviews indicate a lot of issues with these units. So you get what you pay for. We bought during pandemic due to supply constraint of other models. NEVER Buying this brand again!

Worthless
We were super happy the first week we owned this freezer. Like MANY other users stated, we noticed the intense frost buildup from top to bottom. I’m not going to keep a product that needs defrosting every 3-4 weeks. Returning
Hi Mike - it sounds like your door is out of adjustment. To check if your door/gasket is leaking air and allowing warm humid room air to enter the freezer and condense into frost, close the freezer door on a dollar bill in several spots on the top, bottom and both the hinge side of the door and the opening side of the door. When you attempt to pull out the dollar bill, you should experience significant resistance. To adjust the door, loosen the screws holding the top hinge and adjust the door until the dollar bill is difficult to pull out. Also adjust the front bottom legs so that the front of the freezer is slightly higher than the rear to allow gravity to assist in closing/keeping the door closed.
good price
low price for a reason,low quality.freezer stopped working 3 weeks after purchase,of course did not know it had failed till open and found two hundred dollars worth of food ruined
DON'T BUY! I lost food more than the freezer price
Purchased in July 2020 and died in July 2022. I lost food more than the Freezer price. DON'T BUY THIS.. after doing my research I found that the manufacturer warranty is only 1 year and it is not refundable !!!
