Bad advice IMO.I would stick to smallish and get two.
It’s called “garage-ready.” That’s the exact spec that you need to ask for.
How come?Assuming you can find something in-stock, note that you may need a special model if you place the unit in a garage or somewhere with extreme temps.
How come?
i don’t know much about freezers, but am also thinking about ggetting one.
So, can you please explain why?
Another thing you can do is to add extra insulation to the outside.
The new refrigerants don't work in much lower than 20 degrees Fahrenheit...How come?

I have a large upright - you can never go too big - forget chest type - you will spend more time digging 2 feet down to find something.
All true but personal preference and in a lot of cases, Physical limitations come into play. At 40, hauling the Easter ham out was no problem; at 60, not as easy and as I near 80, I flat out don't flex like I used to. It is what it is.I found some plastic produce crates that fit well in mine.
Pork, beef, chicken, fish...each get a crate. The little shelf on the side gets odd stuff.
Yeah, you lose a little space efficiency, but I can have it empty in about a minute.
The newer freezers are more energy efficient. But they also won't be lasting as long as the older ones and that's from a repair guy. Chest type are more efficient because cold air settles and when you open the lid, most of the cold air stays in the freezer. However, they are the devil if you are short like me and you're trying to retrieve some thing from the bottom. And things get "lost" in those suckers easily. Uprights are easier to navigate but every time you open the door, all the cold air spills out.

Dang, Hoss... you are a clever one!
That's a really good idea. Going to take a look at doing that with some of the heavy duty, commercial milk crates.
At some point, we intend to move over to an upright, for all the reasons stated, plus I don't want to find HQ6 in the freezer after she leaned in too far getting a steak of bag of spaghetti sauce. (Height challenged)
