Hamilton Beach 21 cu ft review
Hamilton Beach 21 cu ft Double-Lid Chest Freezer (HBFRF2129)
By Tom Calder
A 21 cubic foot freezer with two lids, for a hunting season, a half cow or a big garden. Two lids mean you open only half at a time. It's about 6.5 feet wide, so measure the space and the doorways first.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you won't fill it: an empty freezer warms faster in an outage, so buy the size you'll keep full.
