Heat isn't the issue. The compressor just runs more to combat it. The problem is that the compressor won't run enough when the temperature outside the freezer is below around 45 degrees. I have an old fridge in my garage and all of my frozen stuff gets soft on the coldest days of the year. Garage ready units have a small heater that forces the compressor to run even in colder temps.

This should be called a mini freezer

I have this in my basement (got it on marketplace for much less). I must say, I do really like it. It looks great and works even better. I do prefer a chest freezer, but an upright fit the space better (in my basement). The temperature control is TIGHT. I have external temperature monitoring on the unit and it fluctuates between -3.6 °F and -2.7 °F over a weeks time when not opened. The shelves can be a bit tight if you have a lot of large items, but overall we really like it.

Vertical versus a chest style. Chest is more annoying to find stuff since it's all stacked on top of other stuff; this one has shelves and stands up like a fridge.

I have both; I just put more long term stuff in the chest and keep stuff I use more in the standup.
ah I see. If I wanted a big freezer (15 cu ft plus), it seems cheaper just to buy a few of these 7cu ft ones than one big one. Is that a smart, or am i missing something here?

Bigger might be slightly more efficient if you're filling the whole thing, but I feel like 2 7cuft chest freezers would be easier to manage than a bit 14.

Do you happen to know the average kWh per day it uses? My chest freezer is just under 1kWh per day.

I don't have a power meter on it unfortunately. Looking at the energy usage from the manufacture, it uses (on average) 275 kWh per year. That would equate to around 0.75 kWh per day. It is energy star certified which does indicate it is more efficient than most at least.

Energy Guide shows $33/year so it's pretty cheap to run.

Cheap is relative. This is rated to use 10% less than the maximum allowed energy for an upright freezer. Comes in at 283 kWh/year. A chest freezer of the same size would use 232 kWh/year if it used the maximum allowed energy. If it was also 10% more efficient than the minimum, it would use 209 kWh/year.

So if you got the least efficient chest freezer of the same size, you'd save 18% energy/$. If you got a chest freezer that was equally as efficient, you'd save 27% energy/$.

Those Energy Guide labels are based on a national $/kWh figure of $0.12/kWh for refrigerators. That's actually being revised up to $0.14/kWh right now. https://www.federalregister.gov/d...e-6-p31755

You're local rates may be much higher or lower. So the % savings comparing one refrigerator to another is probably more helpful than the actual energy guide $ figure.

Picked one up, I was eyeballing a traditional chest freezer and for the small additional uptick in cost this will be considerably more convenient. Had a traditional chest freezer in our last home and it was great having the extra space for ice cream, frozen meats, and backup ice.

I bought this one from Home Depot about 6 to 7 months ago. It has been in my garage since and has been fine. I live in Texas. It has more cubic feet available and is cheaper.

My chest freezer uses $25 a year. $8 more for it to be standup is not terribly expensive.

I prefer the chest freezer because they're extremely inexpensive, but I don't think the energy usage for the upright is that bad when we're talking about running a single one and the difference is less than the cost of a subway sandwich a year.

Manual recommends a manual defrost monthly. That seems insane. Any experiences with that?
It depends how much you open the freezer. I have a 7cu.ft. chest freezer that has been not defrosted in over 6 years. It has a little frost build up but not much considering the time.

.75 kWh per day is about what my 7cu.ft freezer uses in the basement.

$0.47427 per kWh peak, $0.33931 per kWh off-peak here where I live in California. It's cheaper to charge the Tesla at a supercharge off peak at $0.29 per kWh than at home
