Keezer build enroute. I don't have the room for a large chest freezer, so I'm hoping that an 800 wide will be able to fit 4 AEBs. Any recommendations or brands to avoid?

Re: What size freezer for 4 kegs
are you planning on fitting a collar ? usually you have a raised box section at the bottom of a chese freezer where the compressor etc. sits
Id say yes if you fit a collar

Re: What size freezer for 4 kegs
I'm assuming you mean a chest freezer.
I have one that is 900 wide, 550 deep and 840 tall, and I've added a 200 tall collar to it. It fits 5 slim AEB kegs - 3 on the floor and two on the hump (one is partly on the hump and needs support under it), or instead of the 2nd keg on the hump I can fit in one of the 10 litre mini kegs on the floor.
So I do think that an 800 width chest freezer would take 4 slim kegs, but you'll need to build a big collar like mine.

Stand four cornies on the floor arrange them in a square and measure the footprint. Then arrange them staggered in an oblong form and measure that footprint. Then visit several white goods shop and see which freezers will accommodate them.
I doubt that you will find one 80 cm wide that will hold more than three cornies. So be prepared and measure the footprint of three cornies to save yourself two trips.
