Space

A chest freezer can provide plenty of storage space to keep food in the freezer in.

Some freezers don't have internal lighting, making it difficult to locate what you're looking for in the dark. This may not be an issue in the case of using the freezer for occasional grocery shopping but it's a huge issue if you plan to stock up on foods that require storage for a long time, or if you have young children at home who may like to explore the dark to find something to consume.
