Life is much easier with a chest freezer.
They are cheap to buy and cheap to run (compared with upright freezers).
They have a useful capacity (unlike upright freezers).
They come in a wide range of sizes.
They need defrosting once or twice a year. This takes 15 minutes.
Our chest freezer is 10 years old and runs perfectly (in the garage).
I rest my case, Your Honour.

Chest freezers are actually really hard for people to defrost and clean, espeically the elderly and people with back problems. You have to get right into the bottom of them to clan out the water when defrosting. The old f&p ones also didn't have a drain in them, so you have to use towels to mop up the defrosted ice. As long as the upright one has covers on all the drawers, you shouldn't lose much cold when opening it. Infact it has never been a problem at all, and the temperature gauge on teh front shown no drop in temperature after opening the door. The other thing is they have a good light in them, which my chest one didn't have. Not having to defrost it, is worth the extra price IMO The chest ones though are cheaper to buy, and are good if you want to put very large things meaty things in them.

Plus they come complete with a nice flat work area installed that is completely resistant to women's junk cluttering it up because she doesn't want to move it to open the chest freezer!
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
