We bought this to replace a "no name" garage fridge, to keep beverages and kitchen overflow cold. The other fridge lasted all of 3 years before it quit and I replaced it with this Frigidaire as we have a Frigidair upright freezer next to it, and the freezer has over 7 years without issue. I was sold on the brand. We plan on adding the garage thermostat kit before winter, but so far this has been everything we could want in a garage fridge.
