A deep freezer is a great appliance to have in any home; it gives you extra storage for perishable goods that are for emergency or long-term use only, rather than weekly meals.

Deep Freezer Placement & Size
The most popular places to set your deep freezer would be the kitchen, the garage, the basement, or another utilitarian space out of the way of main living areas.
When choosing the size, ensure that your freezer can make it through your doors. Sizes you can choose from are: compact, small, medium, and large. They are determined by cubic feet. You can determine the best size for your household by multiplying the number of people in your house by 2.5 (cubic feet.)
