An upright freezer, with front-opening doors, makes it easier to organise and see its contents (drawers, shelves), at the cost of slightly less efficient insulation each time it's opened. A chest freezer, opening from the top, keeps the cold in better (cold air doesn't escape) and often offers more capacity for the same floor space, though organising its contents is less convenient.
Favour classes A and B (new European energy label, in force since 2021): a fridge runs 24/7 all year round, so its electricity use adds up significantly on the bill over time. The price difference between a class C and a class A unit is usually paid back within a few years through energy savings.
