How many amps really depends on the size of freezer...but, normally during the START cycle (that lasts about 10-seconds, from the time the compressor kicks on, until it gets going), the surge of START can take 10-12 amps, though most freezers can comfortably start in a 68-degree F room at about 8-amps. Once the compressor is running, it takes 2-3 amps to keep the compressor running. When the compressor kicks off (standard cycle is about 80% off, 20% on for a new freezer), then it draws NO POWER at all, unless it has a heated lid-seal, and then it will draw about 1-amp...possibly on a timer cycle (<100-watts).
Keep in mind...that <600 Kw/h rating for the energy star is based off of a MOSTLY-OFF cycle time...if that compressor has to run a lot (because you placed it on your back deck, or in your HOT garage) then you can expect power consumptions to double, triple, etc.!

The Best Freezers on the Market?
When shopping for a food freezer, shoppers have a choice between the upright and chest type freezer. There are distinct advantages to both of these types. A primary consideration should be given to the space in which the freezer will be placed. The upright freezer is approximately the size of a standard refrigerator, although there are some capacity and size options. Chest freezers are shorter, wider, and come in more capacities than the upright version. For many, the convenience of an upright freezer is the most important factor. Foods can be organized and easily retrieved. Adjustable shelves and removable bins make storing and sorting frozen foods easy. However, some large or bulky items (such as turkeys) may necessitate the temporary removal of shelves. Generally, upright freezers are frost-free or self-defrosting. The frost-free or self-defrosting freezer costs a little more to operate, but for many consumers, this convenience is well worth the cost. For consumers with limited space, or for smaller families, the chest freezer may be the best option. Since they come in a range of sizes, purchasing a chest freezer may insure that the consumer does not buy more freezer than is needed. Most chest type freezers must be defrosted manually. Although this is not a process that has to be performed often, it is time consuming as a typical defrost may take from several hours up to an entire day. During the defrost time, the contents of the chest freezer must be stored elsewhere. The chest model generally runs quieter than an upright model. The chest model tends to be more cost efficient to operate. Because of the wall insulation, freezing temperatures can be better maintained with a chest freezer. Even unplugged for a period of 2-3 days, a chest freezer can keep its contents frozen as long as the freezer remains unopened. This would be important in case of a prolonged power outage. Chest freezers tend to last longer than upright models. When considering prices, the upright freezer tends to be the more expensive model. While both types of freezers have advantages, the primary considerations are usually price, convenience, and space.
Do chest freezers or upright freezers stay colder?
Chest freezers generally store food better. Since cold air drops, cold air will be lost every time the door is opened. That doesn't happen with a chest freezer. Also, many chest freezers do not have a defrost cycle. The air inside the freezer will warm up during the defrost cycle which will affect the quality of foods stored long-term.
