Mine died after about 2 mo. of usage, it was in the garage. The warranty process was very slow and cumbersome, and it did not cover any of the spoiled food either. I had at least $200 worth of meat that went spoiled. I went with a different brand for replacement after my experience.

This Frigidaire 6.5 cubic foot upright freezer is appealing for its convenience and solid cooling at a low price. The upright layout is easier to access than a top-opening chest freezer, and the unit is reported to hold temperature well, including in a garage during hot weather. The manual, however, calls for a well-ventilated space above 60 degrees and below 90 degrees, and the freezer uses manual defrost, which can mean regular ice buildup. It is a practical pick if you want upright storage and can live with periodic defrosting.

Common Questions (5)

The unit is described as garage ready on the sticker and has been reported to hold temperature in a garage, including during peak southern summer. The manual also says it should be used in a well-ventilated area above 60°F and below 90°F, so very cold or very hot garages may be outside its intended range.

It can maintain a consistent temperature in a garage and has been reported to work well for more than a year in that setting. The manual still calls for a protected, well-ventilated location between 60°F and 90°F, so performance depends on your garage staying within that range.
cyclicmoth ph1aak Mutantx herbertHawa
Yes. It is a manual-defrost freezer, and ice buildup is expected over time; one owner said it needs defrosting about every three months, while another said the top section gradually ices up. That tradeoff is part of why it costs less than automatic-defrost garage-ready uprights.
hiperco aznriceboy1000 jk_black
A non-garage-ready freezer can stop cycling if the thermostat is fooled by cold ambient temperatures, which can let food thaw and spoil. The manual's stated operating range is above 60°F, so very cold garages are the main risk.

At $198 with free shipping, it is viewed as a strong price for a 6.5 cu ft upright freezer. Comparable garage-ready upright models with automatic defrosting are said to cost $700 or more.

Seems like a good deal. If you like upright freezers. I think they are more convenient than top access freezers, but less efficient.

One of the pictures in this post shows the freezer in the garage, so I assume yes

What's different safety wise between being in a garage vs being in the kitchen?
Anything else other than Ambient temperature?

From what I understand garage-ready means the compressor is beefed up or built to withstand greater loads due to higher ambient temps

I suppose it depends on your garage/location. The manual says to use it in a well ventilated space with temperatures between 60° and 90°

Which replacement brand did you get?

And was this the model that failed on you or some generic garage ready model?
