1) Less freezer burn.
2) Great for Vacuum Sealer fanatics.
3) Allows you to freeze cream cheese.
4) Allows you take advantage of those sales
Cons-
1) need extra space to put it and make sure it is garage certified if you put it in the garage
2) Stuff at the bottom tends to get lost. Periodically have to empty out and restack the older stuff on top so you use it.
3) More to go bad if power goes out.
4) Use more electricity. (PGE in California is raising costs aprox 18% by april of this year for utilities)
5) have to empty at least 1 time a year and defrost.

Most newer freezers are frost-free. Cool, right? (Ha, ha.) But the way frost-free freezers get rid of the frost could actually compromise the long-term quality of your food. The frost-free freezers eliminate frost by raising the temperature inside the freezer a few times a day, from about 0 degrees to 32 degrees.
While this still keeps your food at a freezing temperature, it prevents any free-floating water particles from forming into ice, instead collecting them and siphoning them out of the freezer. It saves you the hassle of frost in your fridge, but can actually cause more freezer burn, as your food temperatures are fluctuating slightly and that makes it easier for moisture inside your food to escape. (ie- that's where all those ice crystals in your frozen veggies come from and they look all dried out)
That's why, if you're someone who freezes a lot of food and intends to keep it that way for a long time, it might make sense to use a deep freezer instead of (or in addition to) a typical refrigerator freezer for food storage. First of all, you won't be opening it as often, and second of all, it keeps food consistently at 0 degrees — the temperature at which you can keep freezer food literally forever, according to the CDC. Just know that those deep freezers will frost up and need defrosting periodically.
"Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and 110°F (43°C). Place your freezer in a location where the temperature will fall between the low and high recommended temperature."
Assuming your garage falls within this temp range, seems like it should be usable. But hopefully others who know more about this can comment.

Now I'm going to go spend that $100 on a new HomePod mini. Woohoo
