In contrast the $120 freezers in my garage have given improbably years of service without a single issue. New from big box store; reviews warned of possible failure and loss of content. But mine must be the good ones. Somebody has to get the good one I guess.
- HeXetic 4y agoChest freezers cannot be compared to household kitchen refrigerator-freezer combinations. There's way, way, way less complexity. * No need to split & balance the refrigeration between fridge & freezer * No expectation of a defrost cycle on the freezer * Generally less stuff: no water or ice dispenser, less lights, less fancy bins & trays & veg drawers etc. * Chest freezers get opened less, and the top-opening lid lets less cold out when they are opened, and without the defrost cycle the compressor just doesn't have to work as hard. * Usually greater consumer tolerance for these items being large/heavy machinery so the designers don't even have to worry too hard about keeping things compact.

- crystaln 4y agoIf years of service is the expectation for a refrigerator, then something is wrong. Refrigerator life should be measured in decades.
