Product review (5 stars): This is a heads-up on the functionality, and the warranty coverage
This is not a review of the product itself, but of its recommended use per the manufacturer's CS person on the phone. This fridge is intended to be used inside a temperature-controlled building, period. Installation and use in an non-temperature-controlled environment, say a garage, voids the warranty. The person on the phone said that the compressor is the critical factor in thisit's not made to handle wide temperature fluctuations such as exist in a garage. Danby makes an outdoor-rated compact all refrigerator, and it costs more, and it has a beefier compressor so that it can handle the temperature fluctuations.

I was very sorry to hear the gal say that because I'd ordered the fridge here on amazon and had then gone to the Danby site to see what I could see about the company and its products. It's Canadian, BTW, and a family-owned business with 70 years under its belt. I cancelled my order with amazon, sigh, and looked around online for the best price for the outdoor model and got one for about a hundred dollars less than the sellers on amazon were asking. I figure it's better to pay up now and not have to beat myself later for having made a stupid choice. Some German camera-equipment company has, or had, a motto that went something like: "Quality is appreciated long after price has been forgotten," and I'm thinking of that now. Hope the damn thing holds up now!
