We have a 15 cubic foot upright, frost-free that is about 30 inches wide
by 30 inches deep by about 60 inches tall. It stays full all the time.
So the affordable 7 cubic foot job would be about half the size of ours.
We had a 12 cubic foot upright that had to be defrosted and it wasn't
quite adequate for our needs what with the gardens, fruit trees, and the
wild stuff gathering that we do.
