alt Hacker NewsIt's inconvenient as soon as you need to get something from the bottom of the fridge, kitchen layout does not change this one at all. And I grew up in a home with multiple chest fridges in addition to a shelved ones so I know the hurdles.
They are good to store something you're not accessing all the time though, like frozen berries etc.
I think that inconvenience could be manageable depending on how full the fridge is and what sort of organizing features it has.
It’s already pretty inconvenient to get something out of the back of a traditional fridge that is completely full.
