I find myself in need of a backup freezer - the immediate cause that has flagged it up is the apple (an dother) harvest and the need to preserve some of it for winter heating, but it was on the agenda anyway. Ironically, I chucked out an ancient one about 4 years ago, and now find myself wanting a replacement. Where are we with chest freezers vs upright freezers, now? Traditionally I have viewed chest freezers as more efficient due to less air leaking out when the door is opened, but now this seems to be a minor factor. As I have it: Chest freezer - More floorspace per storage volume, but need rootling around like a warthog to find things. Can go beneath shelves / cupboards. Price ranges £1.20-£3 per litre of storage. Less efficient energy-wise (?). Upright freezer - store more in 600x600mm. More expensive. Price ranges £2-£5 per litre of storage. I'm quite taken by the idea of an upright with a small wine cooler on top. Does anyone have any thoughts or views? Cheers. Ferdinand
