MARKET NOTE
Chest freezers remain the honest value/holdover choice: their simple manual-defrost, top-opening geometry normally loses less cold air, but retrieval is worse. Uprights justify more only when drawer/shelf layout, frost-free system, alarms and garage rating fit the use. Observed compact manual chests cluster around US$240–315 equivalent; capable uprights around US$480–700. Avoid paying for stainles
