These models are insulated with foam and use a type of refrigerant called 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, which does not deplete the ozone layer and is considered safe for indoor usage. Upright freezers require more energy to run as they have a larger footprint and are less well-insulated than chest models.

They can hold a lot of space and most have hinged lids that open from the top. Some have bins and dividers that help you organize, while others are self-defrosting and have locks.

Some freezers can last for up to 48 hours without thawing, if you keep the door closed.
