I asked a question the other day about a couple specific chest freezers but it has me wondering because I'm seeing all kinds of conflicting information. It seems like a lot of previous generation keezers that were part of the spec thread and are now discontinued have been updated in such a way they no longer support 4 on the floor (ball lock soda kegs) without a collar. This would be helpful for me to know but I'm sure for future visitors too.
I was honing in on the Magic Chef 7.0 but I'm worried the newer HMCF7W4 has been updated in such a way that it may not work. I've asked for dimensions from MCA but it looks like premlinarily they are 28 inches deep x 15.9 inches wide x 31.3 width. This is almost a full inch narrower in width but close to 4 inches wider if it's true.
It looks like the newer generation GE 7 doesn't comfortably fit 4, nor does the Hotpoint. I can't seem to get good info on the Insignia. I've got a 80" space carved out for what I'm hoping is two freezers - one for serving and one for conditioning. I know I could always put collars on both but I'm hoping to avoid that. My goal really is to have the ability to have 4 in the serving and up to 4 conditioning at different temps/pressures.
So that said: who here has a newer generation 7 cu ft chest freezer that they can validate fits 4 on the floor?
