      I have had both and definitely prefer an upright and not frost free.

      We started out with a 13 cf upright, not frost free. Somewhere along

      the way we out grew it and got a 33 cf upright, not frost free. Loved

      it but had to leave it behind when we moved. We now live in a log

      house built in 1836 and the doorways are to small to get it in. We

      bought an old chest at auction for $30 that had belonged to hubby’s

      grandmother. I hated it! I didn’t freeze as many meals and dreaded

      having to retrieve things. I have been use to a very organized freezer

      and found it harder with the chest. If I put all the same things

      together I couldn’t get to everything. If I mix and match so I can get

      to things I lost count of what I had, especially if someone else was

      nice enough to get it out for me but didn’t mark it off the list. We

      were given a small upright but it was frost free and I didn’t like it

      either. Had trouble with freezer burn. We used those two for the past

      7 years until I was able to get a 15 cf upright, not frost free. If

      you keep it full and organized so you don’t spend too much time with

      the door open you don’t have to defrost very often. I always defrost

      in May and November.

      Bre
