We have a standing huge deep freeze in the garage, but then we bought multiple small (probably 5 cu.ft). We fit half a cow in the basement (pretty sure it’s 5c but could be 7) and a whole pig with chicken and other meats upstairs. We keep a small one for frozen prepared foods in the mud room. If one goes out we won’t lose all food in the freezer we have backups. About a decade ago our deep freeze went out and we didn’t realize, lost so much money to food going bad. We do have 8 people in our family so store a lot of food, we currently have 4 dedicated freezers, a fridge and couple combo/a couple mini fridges between basemen garage, main floor and teens room. We also have a generator in case of power outages, but it failing from default is more concerning to me.
