Frost builds up quickly

Has a ton of frost between the top of the freezer shelf and the top of the cabinet after only 2 weeks. Frost has built between the top of the frame and the door affecting the seal. Don’t want to have to defrost every 2-3 weeks so I will be returning.

Hello BoyScoutTroopAllen, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Thomson Upright Freezer (6.5 cu. ft.) . We pride ourselves on our high-quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations. For parts and warranty support, please visit https://www.curtisint.com/product-support, email support2@curtiscs.com or call 1-800-968-9853.It sounds like your freezer door needs adjustment - here's a tutorial how to resolve your issue: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.

Damaged

Freezer had major dent in upper right corner, but the Sam's employee who loaded it in our truck and safely strapped it in did not tell us (or maybe didn't notice). We saw it after we unloaded it but customer service wouldn't do anything unless we packed it all back up and brought it 40 minutes back to the store.

Damaged goods

I choose an upright freezer so I could access what I had in it. It is working great. The issue is I had to return two units that were damaged in the box. As I am older, it required getting help to move three units into my basement and two units out of the basement along with three trips to the store before everything was squared away

Great little freezer

After months of looking around during a pandemic, I came across this freezer in stock at Sam’s. The price point was extremely affordable. I was leery about getting something frost free, but we really needed something to store away our seasonal vegetables from the garden and extra meats we normally buy. So, it’s not something we plan on opening and closing multiple times a day. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with our purchase. It’s large enough to hold the extras a family of four needs and small enough to not be intrusive in our home. It’s been a few months, and we’ve had zero issues so far. The door created a vacuum to seal up tightly too.

Small freezer

This is small but right size for me. Problem is it was bent at the backside so it was hard to level.I didn’t return as it was an 45 minute drive one way. And would have to reload. And it does have wheels but no way to lock. So when you open the door it moves. This is very annoying. I used some old fashioned rubber door stops.

Awesome small freezer

I only had a small space in my pantry, but needed a upright freezer. This one works well and looks perfect in the small space. I have a chest freezer next to it that I hate climbing into to get frequently used items. This freezer has been a godsend and I love it. Highly recommended for anyone with limited space.

Great little freezer

Bought this as a Christmas gift for our daughter and son-in-law. Perfect size for their small family. I wish it was self defrosting, but that didn't matter to them since it is used as additional freezer space for home processed fruit, veggies and stock.

Great Purchase

This freezer is on the smaller side, but it is the perfect size for my family, and for the space I had. We HATED our chest freezer so much and barely used it because of having to dig everything out, now we can be organized without compromising space in our garage.

Stand Up Freezer

Two weeks in and holding a perfect temperature between -1 and 3 degrees, has built in vacuum seal that you can hear activate the vacuum when the door shuts. Enough space for our freezer overflow, with built in racks. Much more convenient than a chest freezer.

Not worth the money!

Shelves broken on the inside. We thought this would be a great purchase for the price. We didn't want anything real big. Will never make this mistake again. We were told they have had many returned, because of this same problem. You do not know there is a problem until you get them home and take them out of the box.
