We just did a major kitchen remodel which included going from pretty much the largest refrigerator that could fit in a 'normal' fridge space (33 cu. ft.) to a counter depth fridge (20 cu. ft.). The remodel is awesome...but the reduction in fridge space is one of very few negatives...
We had planned to move the giant LG frig to the garage and get rid of our existing >10 year old Kenmore garage refrigerator. That is, until we found out the uber-fancy LG frig simply couldn't keep up with the temperatures in the garage. And, a month later, now the Kenmore appears to be dying too (after having spent the last 5 years in the garage).
The idea of buying a 'new' fridge and putting it in the garage seems crazy but I'm trying to decide if getting a standalone chest freezer and a smaller refrigerator makes sense vs. a traditional single unit with both frig/freezer. Our main usage is to freeze leftovers for meals later in the week (meat sauce/chili/gumbo) and to freeze bulk packs of protein (Costco specials and the 30 pounds of shrimp we bring back from Louisiana on occasion). Fridge usage is mainly just beer/drinks but likely will have some overflow of actual food due to the small size of the inside fridge.
Does anyone make anything that is actually warrantied or intended to operate in a garage? Recommendations?
