Having a dedicated freezer can make a big difference in your cooking and grocery shopping routines. The typical refrigerator does not offer substantial freezer space, but frozen goods are useful thanks to their ability to last a long time. In fact, having extra freezer space could save you money by giving you room to buy in bulk, stock up during sales or freeze leftovers so that they don’t spoil.

When people think about getting a garage freezer or a basement freezer, they often think of a chest freezer. Chest freezers are great for large or bulky items (meat from a hunting trip, the Thanksgiving turkey), but they can be hard to look through, and they take up a lot of floor space.

An upright freezer, by contrast, makes use of vertical space to reduce its physical footprint. It can more easily fit into a corner, under the basement stairs, or between garage shelving units. You can even find compact upright freezers that hardly take up any space at all.

Choosing a deep freezer starts with figuring out how much you would like to store. The items you want to freeze should dictate the layout and cubic volume of the best deep freezer for you. You will also need to measure the space for the new appliance. Remember, you need your new Frigidaire upright freezer to fit not only where you want to put it but also through all the doors that lead to that location.

If you are intimidated by the idea of moving and installing your new Frigidaire deep freezer yourself, you can always make an appointment with our appliance delivery and installation service. Our appliance professionals will do all the heavy lifting for you.

To make the most of your new deep freezer, stock up on freezer-safe food storage containers or use a vacuum sealer to make foods last their longest in the freezer. With all that basement or garage freezer space, you might also enjoy getting creative with an ice cream maker.
