A large upright freezer, 12 cubic feet and up, is a full-size appliance 28 to 33 inches wide and up to 76 inches tall. Almost all are frost free, ENERGY STAR certified and convertible to a refrigerator. They cost the least per cubic foot and use the least power for their size. Measure the doorways on the way in, and check the garage rating before you place one outside the kitchen.
