Let's face it: we all work with very limited space in our main kitchen freezer. From bulky bags of potato chips to whole turkeys, frozen juices and home science experiments, it's hard to stock up on practical items that can make or break the flow of an unexpected debacle. By storing excess frozen food on a rainy day or spontaneous gathering in a specialized compact chest freezer, you can take advantage of the limited space you have while enjoying extra peace of mind.

Here is a list of our favorite chest freezers currently available.

Silent, portable and cold. (Amazon/)

This stylish 63 gallon freezer from Costway features an LCD display and vehicle battery compatibility for campers and adventurers. Connect at home and enjoy a deep and roomy frost for your tater tots and berries at a temperature of -0.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Besides being compact, it is also silent, so you can store it in a living room with minimal disruption.

This Whynter fridge and freezer combo is also compatible with home and vehicle, with the added benefit of being equipped with interior LED lights so you can safely stack and access your products quickly. The two indoor temperature zones allow simultaneous cooling and freezing, and the included wire baskets allow easy separation of perishable food. The “quick freeze” function brings your freezer to six degrees below zero in no time.

Perfect for camping and fishing. (Amazon/)

Store fresh fish, meat and other perishable items with this Edgestar portable freezer. Its average capacity of 80 liters is enough to keep long-term and short-term items fresh like a flower, and it cools down considerably quickly in about half an hour at most. The lid closes for added security and you can control the temperature using the rear exterior panel and buttons.

Industrial quality and capacity. (Amazon/)

If you store a large amount of food and want to keep it safe in a limited space, nothing can beat a commercial freezer like the Dukers one. It is only 3 feet tall and has 12.2 cubic feet of interior space at a level of quality and finish ready for the restaurant. It has two removable mesh shelves on the inside and a stainless steel finish on the outside, and the flat top is ready to stack any items you may have, especially if you put it in a storage area.
