Keen to replace your tired chest freezer with a newer model, but unsure which style is best? To help you determine whether the best freezer is an upright or chest model, the appliance professionals at Home Feeling have put together this handy chest freezer vs upright freezer guide. Regardless of whether you’re wondering ‘are upright or chest freezers more efficient’ or ‘which freezer is more affordable’, our expert team can help. 

What’s the difference between an upright freezer and a chest freezer?

The main difference between an upright freezer and a chest freezer is the fact that you need to reach down into a chest freezer to access the contents. The more typical upright freezers can often be accessed while standing as you simply reach forward to grab an item off one of the shelves.

Is a chest freezer better than an upright freezer?

Are upright freezers as good as chest freezers? Well, chest freezers have many benefits when compared to upright freezers. From their often more affordable price tag to their energy efficiency and ability to freeze bulky comestibles, chest freezers are a popular option for many households, but how do upright models compare? Upright freezers may have a higher price tag, but they are a common choice for kitchens thanks to their smart appearance ease of accessibility (owing to the hinged side door opening). Upright freezers and chest freezers, however, have their individual advantages, meaning they’re often used for different purposes. For example, upright freezers tend to be installed in kitchens, whereas chest freezers are typically used as overflow frozen food storage and can be found in pantry areas, utility rooms, and garages. Ultimately, when it comes to answering the question ‘are chest freezers better than upright models’, there’s no clear answer as the right style for you will depend on your specific needs.
