Walmart.com has this 6.5 cu. ft. Frigidaire freezer on sale for $207.50. Reviews are mixed online for similar models (I was unable to find this exact model # anywhere else), which I feel is worth mentioning. This is as cheap a deal as I've seen on a freezer this size post-Covid though.

Edit: List price is 499.00 on walmart.com and Slickdeals is not saving that field for whatever reason no matter how many times I edit.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

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.
This is great! You could put six-packs of b... soda in here...
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.

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