Posted this on the OB, but would appreciate y’alls input as well. Need about a 5 cubic foot chest freezer for my utility room outside. Any suggestions as to what to buy are appreciated. Thanks.

Just bought a GE 5 cu ft from Home Depot . $180.00ish.
This freezer is going in a shed outside.
After checking out a few others chose the GE because the manual gave an operating temperature range that matched the conditions of where we want to put it. Where as the others, some which cost a little less where more for inside use only.
The only thing I would have wanted would have been frost free and this size isn't. I'll have to manually defrost maybe twice a year. Will be a good time to "clean out" the freezer.
So for no issues.

the problem with chest freezers is everything on the bottom gets frozen solid to the freezer and wont come out without defrosting.
also the stuff on the bottom gets buried and aged so it gets wasted most often.
stand up freezers are the best option, you can always see and access everything as needed and they dont take up as much room
if you do get a chest freezer buy way bigger then you think you need, whatever space you have for it, get that size because as mentioned half of it on the bottom will be wasted space solid chunk of frozen mass

I have a cheap ($225) chest freezer with sliding bins. Works great in the garage. Defrosted once in 3.5 years, but I open it about once a week max. Check for floor models, etc at your local Sears store. Bought mine from Barto on Airline in Metairie.
