Very nice smaller freezer!
This freezer suits my needs perfectly. I would have given it 5 stars, but it is not frost free. I’m temporarily in a smaller home, and did not have room for a large freezer. The shelves make it easy to keep my food items well organized. It is also very quiet.

DOOR FALLS OFF!
The door just falls off. Its not broken or anything just a crappy design. I had it in my garage and didnt notice until the next day after it had already ruined hundreds of dollars worth of food. Lost more money on spoiled food than what it would have cost to just upgrade to a better one.

Buyer beware.
This had to be defrosed after 3 weeks. The seal on the top of the door leaks and frosts up within 2 days. It came with a 2" dent in the top from poor packaging. I would not buy this if I were you. I made a mistake, I should have spent more on a major brand. I am sorry to have to say this.
Hello Kevin, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Thomson Upright Freezer (6.5 cu. ft.) .

For parts and warranty support, please visit https://www.curtisint.com/product-support, email support2@curtiscs.com or call 1-800-968-9853.Here's a tutorial on how to resolve frost and condensation issues: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.

Thomson Upright freezer
I like the freezer specially the convenience of storage in a position where you can see everything to have. There are two things that can improve; it's a little difficult to open the door (it closes very tight) and the amount of frost buildup it makes. I've had it for three weeks and so far it is working good.
Hi Nelly, we are glad to hear you are enjoying your Thomson Upright Freezer.

Happy with the Freezer
I love it!!!!! It's a great size. It has a small footprint and is plenty roomy inside. There are two models being delivered for this freezer. I did have to return the first freezer because it was dented on the bottom. That one had a 1-2-3 dial to control the temperature. The second one has a 1-7 dial and I like that better. The tech support and the staff at my Sam's Club were both very helpful. It freezes well. It does frost up. But so far, it hasn't freezer burned anything. I'm happy with my purchase.

Faulty freezer!!!!!
From the start the product was damaged on the size, which I was ready to ignore. However after the first week my grandson opened the door and door came completely off the hedges. Since then I have had to defrost the freezer twice in less than a month because so much frost. I guess the frost is a result of the door not being closing tightly???? I will be returning said product soon.

Decent freezer - shipping not so good
Despite the large amount of packaging and protection the freezer had, at some point in its journey to my home it had been dropped on one corner of the bottom. This was not obvious from the outside. Not until the packaging was removed. See pictures. As this bent the frame near the back wheel, it required a bit more levelling to get it balanced on the floor. But it did level and the freezer is operating just fine. So far, I have not heard back from Sams Club regarding replacement or compensation. That part is disappointing. As to the freezer itself. It is operating just fine. Very cold inside. Lots of shelves. Great for sorting out your food items. But none are removable or adjustable because the freezer coils run through them all. This is only an issue if you have a large item. Anything bigger than 7" tall will not fit inside. So no large turkeys. It is a great addition to your refrigerator's freezer in keeping many items so you don't have to rummage. Being upright, you don't have to dig down like you do in a chest freezer. Digging your way to the bottom to find something. Now you can see most items right in front of you. Uprights may not be as efficient electrically, but they are way more efficient from a convenience point of view. $10 (?) more per year to run for less time spent digging is well worth it. Overall I am happy with the freezer operation and look. Just disappointed it got damaged along the way.

Perfect purchase
This is one of my prized purchases. I first saw in store, came home and ordered on line. After placing my order, I reviewed other customers feedback. After reading reviews, I considered cancelling my order. I am so happy I did not cancel. Packing was perfect, and so is this freezer. I do NOT have unusual ice buildup, the exterior and interior in perfect condition. Truly an excellent buy.
Hi Kareb, we are glad to hear you are pleased with your 6.5 cu ft Thomson Upright Freezer.

Great freezer for the price!
The freezer is great. Good value and holds more than we expected. That said, when we opened the box, it had a large dent in the front and it was missing one of the feet that help it stand up straight. It was heavy and we had to pick it up in a truck, so we didn’t want to mess with returning it. Just a heads up.

Excellent compact freezer
This freezer is a perfect size and perfect cost for a secondary storage. It has enough room for a good amount of food and the compact size fits nicely in the garage. It does throw off a good deal of heat But that’s to be expected. I set the temperature to the second notch and it is keeping everything frozen. That seems odd to me because there are seven notches and I’m waiting for my electric bill to see how much more energy is being used by having this. This is a manual defrost unit but after one month of service I don’t see a buildup of ice inside yet. I would recommend this to anyone that needs additional storage or a back up to the existing freezer.
