Delicate legs, gasket does not stay in

This freezer was a waste of money. One of the legs broke right away and gasket does not stay in the door making it leak and freeze up around the top controls :( It is cold

Stopped freezing after 15 months

I had a freezer before this one that was a chest freezer that I had for 5 years and bought this to prevent reaching into it and this freezer stopped working after 15 months which made about $500 worth of meat go bad

Don’t buy this!

Purchased this freezer and didn’t last ten days. Ended up losing so much money in meat because the motor stopped working. Trust the many reviews that say this is crap. Wish I would have looked before buying.

Works until it doesn't - What's the warranty??

Our freezer worked great until it didn't. It quit working sometime late last week and we lost about $400 worth of meat and veggies. Now the freezer won't freeze at all. I cannot find any warranty info on it.

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 !!!

Not worth the money!

Bought this gem 13 days ago - it worked fine for the first 11.5 days and then just quit - ruining close to $350 worth of food. Wouldn't have another if it was given to me for free!

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. 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. 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, both 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.

DOA - Broken

I got it home, opened it up and the top right about where the door opens is cracked. Now I have to return it to the store. Pretty bad when an item cannot even be plugged in before you have to return it.
