Chest freezers typically have a wide footprint and are intended for bulk storage of large frozen items, but small chest freezers are also available which can tuck under workstations and shelving for your convenience. Most models are ideal for basements, garages, and other areas with space to accommodate their large footprints. Since a freezer chest opens from the top, it can stay open for longer than other freezer types as you load items since cold air sinks, contributing to ENERGY STAR performance by minimizing cycle frequency.

Do chest freezers use a lot of electricity?
Chest freezers are built with superior insulation to ensure energy-efficient performance. Since they open from the top, less air is exchanged, preserving cold temperatures more efficiently than upright freezers.
What are the disadvantages of a chest freezer?
Chest freezers are intended for bulk storage, not organization, so there is no shelving in most save for a small basket. As a result, ice cream cartons and other tiny items can get buried under bulky items like turkeys or fresh hunted game. You also have to bend over to reach inside them, so they are not ideal for people with back issues. Most models require manual defrosting, so be prepared to perform this tedious maintenance task every couple of months.
What is the life expectancy of a chest freezer?
Chest freezers can last up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. Make sure to regularly defrost its interior and do not overload it to enable proper cold air circulation.
