Great size. Quiet.
Bought this about 2 weeks ago. So far I really like the freezer, it’s size is perfect. Will see how efficient it is with the cooling coils within each rack. Also says it is non-defrosting type. Not sure how that will work.
lasted 4 yrs.
Used in our garage. It just went out this week. The compressor started making a metallic noise. I put a thermometer in, and it was holding at 36 degrees. Can't get it any colder.
You get what you pay for. ...or less.
We bought ours two years ago and it no longer works. Best I can tell it lost it's refrigerant. When it did work it it frosted up a lot and required defrosting every few months. Save your money and buy something better. It has a one year warranty and dies in two years. Huge disappointment.

You’ll be sorry.
After reading all of the one star reviews I guess I’ll consider myself lucky that my freezer lasted a little over two years. I bought it May 2020 for 229.98 (before the price inflated). It is now fall of 2022 and it died without warning. There was always a bit of ice that built up at the very top/ceiling inside the freezer but I would let it defrost and then reload it with food. I do recall the box saying it needed that done since it wasn’t self defrosting. I only did it once the entire time I had it since the build up wasn’t too bad. Not sure if that is part of what affects the longevity of this hunk of crap or not.

Quit after about 11 months
Worked great for the last 11 months, then one day noticed it was running and not cold anymore. We had to move everything out of the freezer. Lost a lot of fish, hamburger and other frozen foods. So. Ow we are stuck with either repairing or spending money on another freezer. Maybe I got a fluke but you would think a freezer would last at least 2 years or so. If anyone reading this had the same problem let me know if you figured out what it was and fixed it.

I bought 2. Both broke in less than 18 months.
I bought two of these freezers. The first one broke in less than 6 months. The second one in less than 18 months. They just do not last. Two full freezers of ruined food. They are trash. DO NOT BUY THEM. I should have just bought more expensive freezers. With the amount of food I have had to throw out, I would have saved money by buying higher-quality freezers that don't break.

I don't recommend this freezer
I ordered this freezer online. While unpacking, a few cheap plastic parts dropped out. I opened the door and it fell off. The cheap clip that secures it on top was broken. In addition to cheap construction, the inside is not very functional. We took it back to Sam's and purchased a MUCH nicer self defrosting freezer elsewhere for a reasonable price.
Not worth it
This freezer is not worth spending your money on. I originally got it because I wanted something small and this sounded perfect but after a couple weeks it started frosting up big time. It did freeze my food properly but after about a year and a half it just completely quit working. All my food went to waste! Don't waste your money on this one please.

Bad Seal?
We've had this freezer for 3 months and it continuesly ices over on the inside. Im assuming we have a bad seal which means the freezer is working extra hard and more than likely won't last long. Very disappointing. I'm hoping to goodness we don't lose our food. It gives me daily anxiety and makes me want to check it constantly to make sure it's still working but I don't want to make it work even harder. I've taken pictures but not certain this platform will allow me to upload.

Here's a tutorial on how to reduce condensation and frost in refrigerators and freezers.<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.
