One is a smaller chest freezer, about 3 feet tall, probably 10cuft if I had to guess. The other is a smaller Hamilton Beach upright freezer from Costco. Both are full, so that helps with keeping them cold.

Both are full so it reduces the amount of cold air that can escape when you open them.

  Without space between the contents, though, they freeze in phases and it affects how they come out. Watch our or just keep air gaps.

Is your upright the one with all the little compartments? That one looked to me like the most efficient upright design I’ve ever seen.

  Yep, it’s awesome. We got it for $300 to supplement the smaller chest freezer, and it’s been an absolute godsend.
