Upright freezer help for weird space
Hi,
I'm looking to buy an upright freezer and the best place to put it is in an open space under the stairs to my basement.
In terms of the dimensions, I can fit up to a 24 inch wide freezer since the opening I'm going through is a tiny bit wider than that (once it's in, I have 30ish inches). In a perfect world I'd like it to fit under the 45" high step, but can go up to the 54" high step. A few things are stored in front of where we would put it, so I don't want to go any higher otherwise it'll just eat too much space. The front hinges can be higher, since only the back 12" or so will need to fit under 45" or 54".
Manual defrost is fine with me and this will never need to be a fridge, so I don't need any of those convertible fridge/freezer units, although that may be the only option.
I'm based in Canada if that changes what might be available. So far These are the only 2 units I've found that fit under the steps without being like 30" high and having an ok capacity.

Happy to hear what other people know or if there's a brand or website that might have a some better options.
Thanks!
