How many on your hit list?Guess we'll jump on the band wagon and get in line to get a chest freezer.
"How big?' is the question. We don't have a ton of space and it has to make it down the stairs into the basement.

My fear is that becomes like a gun safe-you buy a big one and you'll eventually fill it up with stuff you don't use.
I'd need a walk in.
I put on on order today as well. At least a month out. Way to big for probably what I will ever need. But I got one.
Where?
7 cu-ft is plenty big for two people. Hotpoint 7.1 cu-ft is a good one. Things to remember with chest freezers:
1) Bigger is not better. Big costs a lot more to run. You'll be tempted to overfill it and end up with freezer burn.
2) Simpler is better. Avoid whiz-bang features. One temperature knob (manual, not electronic) is all you need.
3) Chest freezers are less convenient than uprights but keep food rock solid for days during long power outages, even if you go into the freezer to get things.
