Typically the larger ones use the same amount of KWH as a small one and sometimes less. Usually around $20/year which you can easily make up for that and the unit by buying meat when it's on sale.
Our mid-size upright freezer, which is probably at least 25 years old, uses so little I don't give it a second thought any more. It sits in the basement, which is low-60's all the time, so that probably helps, but for an old machine, I've got no complaints. I would think the new ones are better still.
After all these years, I finally stuck a thermometer in there and found that it was too warm, so there's that. It's now down around zero F, which on this one is almost all the way down on the dial.
