Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a deep freezer and a chest freezer?
Technically, "deep freezer" is a general term for any appliance dedicated solely to freezing. However, most people use it to refer to chest freezers, which open from the top and are designed to hold consistent temperatures for long-term storage.
Are upright freezers more expensive to run?
While older upright models were less efficient, many modern units are Energy Star certified. Upright freezers lose slightly more cold air when opened compared to chest freezers, but they offer significantly better organization.
How do I choose the right size?
A good rule of thumb is to allow 1.5 to 2.5 cubic feet of space per person in your household. If you hunt or buy meat in bulk, consider a large-capacity unit like the Hamilton Beach 21 cu. ft. Chest Freezer.
