Chest freezer or standup?
I have both and I can't make up my mind which I prefer.
The above post explains it well, each one has advantages and disadvantages and I really don't know which I'd prefer if I had to choose between the two.
Ease of use would be a standup freezer. I'm not the tallest and it's hard to reach the bottom of my chest freezer.
But then, how often do you have to get something from the bottom.
