Chest Freezers

A chest freezer — what many people call a deep freezer — opens from the top and holds frozen food in one deep compartment, so it stores a lot for its footprint and keeps the cold in when you lift the lid, because cold air sinks. It is the usual choice for bulk buys, a basement or a garage. Food stacks, so baskets and dividers matter for finding things. Some models are convertible and can run as a refrigerator. Compare capacity in cubic feet, garage-ready ratings, manual or frost-free defrost, a lock, and the floor space and lid clearance you have.
