Upright freezer sizes & dimensions
Upright freezers are a good option for homes where space is limited. As you move up in cubic footage, you can expect the freezer to be taller, wider and deeper. These freezers have a smaller footprint than chest freezers and are made in compact, small, medium and large sizes:
- Compact = 3 to 5 cubic feet (20–24″ W x 31–37″ H x 20–25″ D)
- Small = 5 to 9 cubic feet (21–25″ W x 55–60″ H x 22–26″ D)
- Medium = 10 to 16 cubic feet (23–31″ W x 60–73″ H x 27–30″ D)
- Large = 17+ cubic feet (27–34″ W x 64–76″ H x 29–30″ D)
Common uses for chest freezers
Whether you simply live in a larger household or prefer to stock up for the unexpected, chest freezers are best used to store large amounts of food over long periods of time for your family. They can typically be found in the basement or garage due to their wider design and capacity.
