Advice on large keezer, and manual vs auto defrost

[GratefulBear]

Greetings,

Does anyone know a good model of chest freezer that could fit 7 corny kegs, 5lb CO2 tank, regulator and CO2 manifold without adding a collar? Also, what is preferred for a keezer, manual or automatic defrost? Thanks

Since it should never be below freezing, defrost is not an issue.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know if the defrost function helps with moisture in some way too. Also, my old kegerator supposedly was set above freezing but still built up frost on the cooling panel.

This is the tallest 15 cu ft chest freezer I could find so far. It seems like height is the biggest issues with chest freezers if you're not adding a collar. However I can't find the internal dimensions. Anyone use this one? Amana 14.8 cu. ft. Chest Freezer in White-AZC31T15DW - The Home Depot
