Any reason why you don't prefer those things?

auto defrost causes freezer burn a lot quicker. melts, pulls moisture out, then refreezes. if you rotate out food in under 3 weeks auto defrost isn't an issue.


manual defrost does require you pull out everything and use a plastic scraper to remove snow buildup. but it only takes a couple minutes to pop out the chunks.


if you are freezing meats, cover with olive oil and put in a zip loc freezer bag. quart or freezer sized. squeeze air out. this will keep your meats/poultry/pork good for well over a year (lot longer tbh). been doing that for 30 years. or use a vacuum sealer.


modern vacuum sealed meat packing from the store is generally good enough.

Does anyone know if this is garage ready? I can't seem to find a manual or anything in the specifications section.

What's the difference? Bigger compressor?

I think garage ready units have more insulation around the components to work better in fluctuating environments like a garage. Don't know if it's marketing fluff or not

Edit:

In the heat, freezers work harder than normal as the compressor cools the freezer's internal environment to combat the outside temperature. In extreme cold, the compressor will not kick on until the external temperature is higher than what the freezer is set to. Garage ready freezers are built to handle both extreme heat and cold.

Don't know why people TD'ed this perfectly legitimate question. I looked earlier before you posted and also couldn't find any info for this model.

But what I do know is that if a fridge or freezer is "Garage Ready" they make it pretty clear. So it's safe to assume this model isn't.

Def a great deal, but after reading reviews on other fridges on Walmart's website, not worth taking a chance dealing with shipping damage, etc. Repped though!
