Glenda - We just bought a fridge/freezer and we bought the biggest one we could afford that would fit in our space. If it will get a lot of use, I would recommend the same for you. Freezers can be more efficient if they are not jammed packed and air can circulate some. Good luck!

You need to consider how much food it will hav in it on a day to day basis like kim said don't overfill but a full freezer is more efficient then a 1/2 empty one. We got an upright and its often full so it was a great purchase. I would consider measurin g where you want to put it and go to a store to look at options. A chest freezer may take up less space but easy to loose stuff in them.

We have a smaller upright freezer. It holds all the meat from the quarter of a cow, with room for more deer meat, a turkey and christmas cookies without a problem. I usually add a few other things to it as well. It's very efficient and was one of the best gifts we've ever gotten. It's at the old house, or I'd tell you the cubic footage.....
