What is the average size of a compact freezer?

In the U.S. today, the average refrigerator in a typical home provides between 18 and 26 cubic feet of storage space. For an average family of four, 19-22 cubic feet is common. These figures combine both the refrigerated compartment and the freezer compartment. When shopping for a refrigerator, keep in mind that larger refrigerators and freezers, use more electricity and consequently cost more to operate. A refrigerator is one of the biggest users of electricity in most U.S. homes.
