Frigidaire garage ready. I have ~20cu ft but your size is about $600 at Lowes. There's lots of cheaper brands out there but I haven't heard their name often enough to trust them packed with meat. If it was a beverage fridge you were after, I might chance the new/off brands and buy a warranty.I’m in the process of researching mid-sized upright freezers (10-12 cu ft) right now. Need one that is “garage ready.” Any thoughts?
If you're not in a hurry, look for gift card deals usually through one of your credit cards. You can accumulate a stack of gift cards (ie., Lowes) that you bought for 10% off, then wait for a holiday sale or rebate to help lower it even further.
