We put it in our carport so it is convenient. It's size is perfect so that it doesn't take up a lot of space. I was hesitant to buy one that wasn't frost free, but since July there has been very little accumulation.

I use to get bulk meet/seafood to cover quarterly needs at home so in the past was a challenge to make those packages and bags fit on my fridge freezer now with this compact freezer I am able to manage easily short & long term use of frozen products to improve the kitchen process This is a compact freezer but once you open it you realize that you can put there all you need and more, noiseless and combining perfectly with the garage layout, easy to move and easy to clean... is perfect

Three months in and we're happy with our chest freezer. Organization is tricky in a chest freezer but the width fits a milk crate easily so we can sort our products - lest it become a frozen abyss of forgotten food items. I can definitely hear it when the freezer kicks on (the initial sound is audible, then a gentle hum) - but if you're putting it in a garage, it shouldn't bother you.
