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.
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.
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.

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.
These are garage ready freezers and in my experience does a good job of maintaining consistent temperature even in peak southern summer. Ice will build up gradually and it will require a manual defrosting eventually, but I have not done that yet. I purchased it for around $210 and for the money it is a good deal.

Anything else other than Ambient temperature?
The reason a freezer may shut-off is because the thermostat is "Fooled" into thinking its cold enough inside the freezer That's when it shuts off.
So, if the freezer is exposed to say -3F and the freezer is set to zero degrees F, it will stop freezing (Operating the compressor etc)So, the frozen food may thaw and spoil.
Most garages don't get down to zero degrees F anyway.
Most freezers are set to below zero F, so there is no issue even if it's not labeled "Garage ready".
When it's winter and 15F outside my home, It's usually 30F or higher in my garage.So, my freezer works fine.
The only time there could be an issue is if a Refridgerator isn't Garage ready. The thermostat is usually set just above 32F. So, if the Garage temp gets down to say below that temp..say 32 degrees, the thermostat thinks the fridge is cold enough, so it stops refrigerating and the food will spoil over a period of time.
Hope this helps.
