OK

The freezer is a nice size. The instruction booklet is pretty worthless as far as troubleshooting. Within a week of filling it, ice has formed about 1-1/2 thick and 1 in long alongside the top shelf. It also came with two little spork-y type things that I have no idea what to do with.

Hi cmc333, it sounds like your freezer is frosting up. Typically frost is caused when warm humid ambient air enters the freezer and condenses & freezes. Here's a tutorial on how to reduce frost and condensation in refrigerators and freezers: 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.

Great Spare Freezer

Bought this because the price was right and I thought I might need an extra freezer, just in case I caught too many fish or killed a deer. It works great and has more than enough room for my purposes another plus is that it fits in a pretty small ares so it't not out in the way like some freezers.

An Excellent Smaller Freezer

We recently bought this freezer because we needed some extra freezer space when we shop for groceries on sale. We also have a larger chest type freezer, however, it is much more convenient to have an upright style. Additionally, the price was more than reasonable! Installation was a breeze and at the lowest setting (as received), it keeps the interior temperature at a perfect 0 (zero) degrees!! We have only had this for one month, but hope it will last for many years to come.

Junk!!

We bought this freezer to store extra food so we wouldn't have to go to the store as often while the corona virus is sweeping the US. We are older people with health issues. We ordered it online and it was delivered about a week later. It was a nice size and we quickly filed it up. Less than a week later, we realized the freezer was no longer running. We called Sam's and told them we needed a new one but they were sold out of every freezer they had. We lost about two hundred dollars worth of food. They said they couldn't help that...I should have read the reviews!

Not a great deal or quality.

Very flimsy had to return it noticed bottom was scraped and dented also freezer door kept falling out. No instructions on manual as to how to fix the problem. When is took it back to the warehouse they offered a replacement which I thought was great but when they unpack it they freezer door kept doing the same thing and no one knew what to do. Not a great deal or quality for the money I decided not to take the replacement.

Great little freezer

I bought this for use at my mom’s home. Since she has people assisting her daily, this makes getting frozen meals out easily and identified easier for them than the chest freezer. With having shelves, unlike a chest freezer, like items can be placed on the same shelf. It’s a good price and a lot of storage space for our use. We are very happy with it. I’ve already recommended this to a friend.

Received 2 Freezers - Both Damaged

I received the original freezer on March 4th. When opened, the leveling cap was broken. Instead of having a new cap sent, Samsclub.com had FedEx pick up the freezer and ordered a replacement. I received the replacement freezer today, and the door was hanging off of the freezer and there was a crack across the top of the freezer.

Good freezer

We've had it for several weeks now with no issues. We were looking for a "smaller" upright freezer that didn't break the bank and this fit the bill nicely. It's not loud, seals well, and freezes like it should. Plus, food doesn't get "lost" like it does with our chest freezer. Delivered to our house free with Plus membership, which was a huge bonus.

I'd give it negative stars if I could

The freezer delivered timely, but after running for 2 days it just quit being cold. The ice turned to water and the food had to be discarded. The freezer is running, but the interior is hot and the even the motor in the back of the unit it very hot. It is defective and Thomson customer service is handled by a third party company and they are a joke! It has been over a week now and I have now sent the requested photos 3 times. I really feel they are stalling because I still have not been called after asking to speak to someone and no one has mentioned a repairman is scheduled. I thought I was getting a deal because the price was so low compared to other models, but the old adage is true...you get what you pay for! But still...$200 for nothing is a giant disappointment and rip off! Don't buy this!

Nice

I had been looking at this upright freezer for some time. I bought it approximately a month ago and I am glad I did. Unlike most deep freezers, just open the door and see what you are looking for, instead of having to dive head first into a standard deep freezer.. I like how it creates a vacuum seal after the door is open so you know your items are kept frozen. It did have a bit of cosmetic damage when it arrived, but I didn’t mind the small scratches and 1 ding, as this was not going to be in a place where others would see it freezer.
