Also, get a chest freezer. They are much more efficient.

Every time you open a standing freezer, the cold air "false out", since cold air is more dense than warm air. The chest freezer on the other hand will hold the cold air in place.

They are more efficient in keeping the food frozen. But they are less efficient in getting the food out of it. This is how you find 5 year old products at in the bottom of the freezer when you finally clean it up.

That's an organization problem, not a freezer problem. In my field, we go vertical on the horizontal freezer:

Unfortunately, the link doesn't work - and I was looking forward to seeing how you organize a horizontal freezer vertically because I have the 'black hole' problem...
