Don't know if you shop Walmart, but they normally have a couple models, but don't know the brands off hand. We bought a couple about 15yrs ago, one is larger than the other, and they're still going strong.
We put ours up on cinder blocks to not bend over so far to reach into. You'll understand when you get one. |

Chest freezers are great for kegerators and hooker storage, but they are too easy to lose and forget shit in. The item you need will always be on the bottom. Get an upright self defrost type if you can.

I keep fish in one, steaks in one, wild game in one, ect When stacked, easy to pull one crate out and get to the lower one. Chest freezers stay frozen longer if you have to deal with power outages and don't run a generator. Just freeze jugs of water if you don't have it full, to help it stay colder and run more efficient. |

We're empty nesters so we don't need to keep as much food on hand. Converted the chest freezer to a keezer. Big enough for 2 5 gal kegs and a 10lb CO2 bottle inside. Got it from Sam's originally for around $120 about 10 years ago. Just looked, different name but still the same externally for $140 shipped or $160 picked up in store. https://www.samsclub.com/p/igloo-5-1-chest-freezer/prod20960097?xid=plp_product_1_1 |

I got a cheap Insginia chest freezer about 5 years ago from Best Buy. I believe it’s 5.0 cubic feet and was around $160 bucks. It’s been in my hot garage ever since and runs like a champ. It’ll hold about 2 medium sized deer fully processed maybe a little less.
Looking back I wish I had gotten the 7.0 cubic foot size for a little more room but I can’t complain it works great otherwise. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just replaced my small chest freezer with a little bigger upright. No telling how much food I wasted due to freezer burn in that chest. Never having another one. If you will continually rotate I guess they are ok. I’ve always had great luck with Frigidaire. |
