    how does two doors make it less space efficient

    if anything, the freezer is more space efficient since there’s no drawer to take up space

      More doors = more gaskets = more seams = more heat loss = less energy efficent

        If it’s meant for daily use, then all of the coldness will just fall out when a door is opened anyways. Drawer and chest freezers are advantageous in this respect. This is also why fridges have drawers. I’ll bet you more doors has a negligible effect on energy efficiency…

        as for long-term storage, this nerd has something to say about that
