As tested by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/author\/cfitzpatrick\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caitlyn Fitzpatrick<\/a>, senior shopping editor, this best garage refrigerator was designed to keep drinks and food cold in outdoor temperatures ranging from 38 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Springtime in New Jersey is unpredictable, and we've had 50-degree and 85-degree days. Through them all, the GE has performed well and the fridge's contents have remained at the ideal temperature. No warm hard seltzers here,\" says Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-618367 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RDA24_GE-Garage-Ready-Top-Freezer-Refrigerator_Caitlyn-Fitzpatrick_02_KSedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Ge Garage Ready Top Freezer Refrigerator\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One big positive of the GE fridge that you probably wouldn't think about with an appliance in your home is that there isn't a big gap between the refrigerator and the ground. Since this unit is designed for the garage, it's nice to know that animals won't have much of a chance to make a home there.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As far as functionality goes, this refrigerator has adjustable shelves so you can easily fit different platter sizes and holiday trays. Plus, the door has reversible hinges, allowing you to set it up in the direction of your choice. There are also three pull-out drawers to house fruits, vegetables or whatever you want to keep separated.

It's certainly not a deal breaker, but it's something to be conscious of so you're not surprised.<\/p>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best for Extreme Temperatures\" product_name=\"Gladiator All Refrigerator\" pros=\"Works in extreme cold and heat\" pros1=\"Step-to-open pedal\" pros2=\"Easy to roll\" pros3=\"Sleek-looking finish\" pros4=\"Adjustable edge-to-edge shelves\" cons=\"No freezer storage\" image=\"618366\" pr_name=\"The Home Depot\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/homedepot.sjv.io\/ban2yx\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on The Home Depot\" retailers_2_name=\"Garage Organization\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.garage-organization.com%2FProduct%2FGladiator-GARF30FDGB.aspx\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Garage Organization\" retailers_3_name=\"Best Buy\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fgladiator-17-8-cu-ft-refrigerator-black%2F6247244.p%3FskuId%3D6247244\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Best Buy\" \/]\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most garage refrigerators are certified to work between 38 and 110 degrees. The <a href=\"https:\/\/homedepot.sjv.io\/ban2yx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gladiator All Refrigerator<\/a> takes it a step further by promising to keep food fresh when it feels like a tundra or a jungle. I've had it in my garage for about two months, and I can say that the Gladiator Fridge lives up to its warrior name by keeping my food and drinks cool through some of North Carolina's most humid days. (That's good because there's nothing worse than needing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/project\/how-to-repair-a-refrigerator\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repair a refrigerator<\/a>.)<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On top of having adjustable edge-to-edge shelves and a considerable amount of storage on the door, the Gladiator comes with casters for easy portability around your garage. It also has a step-to-open silver tread foot pedal that opens the door without you having to drop your party trays.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-617480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FHMA24_Gladiator-Refrigerator_Anthony-O-Reilly-for-Family-Handyman_08_KSedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Gladiator Refrigerator\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Learn from me: To use this you'll have to install the casters first. I set up my Gladiator without putting the wheels on, so now I have to wait for a time when I can empty the fridge to put them and the pedal on.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Back to the shelves: These things are strong. We've packed multiple protein shakes, soda cans, and full slabs of meat, and there's no sign of stress or bending.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The hammered granite cabinet and matte black finish help the fridge blend seamlessly into my garage. I am a little worried about the customer reviews that state the compressors tend to break in less than five years after purchase, but for now I have no complaints about having this fridge in my garage.<\/p>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Budget\" product_name=\"Samsung Counter-Depth Top-Freezer Refrigerator\" pros=\"Affordable\" pros1=\"Uses little power and is Energy Star certified\" pros2=\"Multi-vent technology for even cooling\" pros3=\"Can be used as an indoor or outdoor fridge\" pros4=\"LED lighting\" cons=\"Smaller than most garage fridges\" image=\"618390\" pr_name=\"AJ Madison\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ajmadison.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fajmadison%2FRT16A6195SR.html\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on AJ Madison\" retailers_2_name=\"Build.com\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.build.com%2Fproduct%2Fsummary%2F1843070\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Build.com\" retailers_3_name=\"Best Buy\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fsamsung-15-6-cu-ft-top-freezer-refrigerator-with-all-around-cooling-stainless-steel%2F6471975.p%3FskuId%3D6471975\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Best Buy\" \/]\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Energy Star-certified <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ajmadison.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fajmadison%2FRT16A6195SR.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samsung Counter-Depth Top-Freezer Refrigerator<\/a> uses about 345 kilowatts per hour yearly, about half as much as the standard kitchen fridge.

It has an interchangeable door, which means you can switch the direction it opens.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At 15.6 cubic feet, it's smaller than most garage fridges. However, Stanko says it feels spacious and her only challenge is fitting tall bottles. \"You will likely have to play with the spacing between the shelves if you plan on storing tall bottles,\" she says. \"Or, you can be comfortable laying them on their side, which I am.\"<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like any good garage fridge, it's certified to work in temperatures ranging from 38 to 110 degrees.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"I feel the fridge keeps food\/beverages cold and at a good temperature,\" Stanko says. \"The ice trays froze, and the frozen desserts stayed solid.\"<\/p>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Convertible\" product_name=\"Whytner Upright Convertible Deep Freezer\/Refrigerator\" pros=\"Can be used as a fridge or freezer\" pros1=\"Doesn't block entryways\" pros2=\"Digital controls\" pros3=\"Wheeled base\" cons=\"Many complaints of dented door panels\" image=\"618392\" image_credit=\"PAMELA BONDURANT FOR FAMILY HANDYMAN\" pr_name=\"The Home Depot\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/homedepot.sjv.io\/kOMLbv\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on The Home Depot\" retailers_2_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FWhynter-Energy-Star-Convertible-Freezer-Refrigerator-Each-UDF-139SS%2F286179962\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" retailers_3_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07JY689TR?tag=fhmeag-20\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes, you need a fridge, and other times, you need a freezer.

Changing it is as easy as pushing a button\u2014literally. \"You set it to either the refrigerator or freezer mode using the digital controls on the front of the fridge,\" says Family Handyman writer Pamela Bondurant. \"It was very easy to use.\"<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bondurant says it does a great job of both, even when placed directly outside. She doesn't have a garage but says it would be hot and humid (she lives in Florida).<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-618393 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RDA24_Whytner-Upright-Convertible-Deep-Freezer-Refrigerator_Pamela-Bondurant_02_KSedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Whytner Upright Convertible Deep Freezer Refrigerator\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"The fridge is protected from direct sunlight and, in 80-degree weather, got the entire interior down to 41 degrees in less than an hour,\" she says. \"In the time I had it converted to a freezer, it did not appear to be building up frost but I suppose with heavy usage, that could occur and would happen with any freezer.\"<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are four wire-grid shelves, a bottom basket, and four door shelves to help you organize your fridge mess.

During the initial setup, Hillman set the temperature to 37 degrees and has never adjusted it. Two years later, it still keeps everything perfectly cold.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Though pricier than other models, this refrigerator is quite versatile. It can be freestanding in a garage or built into your kitchen cabinetry. If using it as a built-in, you'll find the reversible, dual pane glass door particularly convenient. This refrigerator also has a bright and easy-to-use LED display and a built-in interior light that can be left on or off.<\/p>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Freezer Storage for Garage\" product_name=\"Kismile Chest Freezer\" pros=\"Adjustable thermostat goes below 0 degrees\" pros1=\"Three available sizes\" pros2=\"Keeps food frozen even with hot outside temperatures\" pros3=\"Convenient water drain\" cons=\"May be difficult to ship to some locations\" image=\"618386\" pr_name=\"Kismile\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkismile.com%2Fproducts%2Fkismile-7-0-cubic-feet-chest-freezer-with-removable-basket-free-standing\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Kismile\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08CR38XVC?tag=fhmeag-20\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A garage freezer can be a great addition for preppers or barbecue fanatics looking to store meat for long periods, and there's no better option than the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkismile.com%2Fproducts%2Fkismile-7-0-cubic-feet-chest-freezer-with-removable-basket-free-standing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kismile Chest Freezer<\/a>.

The freezer has a balanced hinge-style door that can remain open, so you don't have to prop it open like it's the hood of your car while grabbing or storing food.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The noise level tops out at 40 decibels, which is about as loud as a closely monitored library. It is available in four sizes and two colors (black or white). I went with the 7-cubic-foot black freezer, which is super quiet. I can't hear it even when I'm working in the garage, and on top of that we haven't seen a significant increase in our energy costs since getting it.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you've never owned a chest freezer, you should know that routine defrosting is required every four to six months. Luckily, this garage freezer has a handy water drain, so you don't have to tip the freezer to get the water out.

If you need a little more storage, you could also purchase the dual garage fridge and freezer set.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I've been using this mini-fridge for about two months, and I'm impressed at how well it works despite its small stature. I mainly use it to chill homemade cold brew concentrates and my protein shakes, and they've been very cold each time I take them out of the fridge.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Honestly, I haven't been using this in a garage. It's in a spare bedroom, but to be fair that room tends to be more humid than the rest of the house. And this mini-fridge still works just fine. Also, I can barely hear the compressor when it's running at night.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With nearly 12,000 5-star customer reviews, it's one of the highest-rated fridges on Amazon. \"We keep it in our very hot garage and it keeps our drinks ice-cold,\" wrote Amazon reviewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R20H0623A8RXD7?tag=fhmeag-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A.

It's also available in six fun colors so that you can match it with your garage's decor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>What to Look for When Buying a Garage Refrigerator<\/h2>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The best garage refrigerators need temperature control to withstand extreme heat and cold, a well-sealed door to keep noxious car fumes from reaching your food, and\u2014of course\u2014ample space for beverages and that pork shoulder you\u2019ve been marinating for three days. Here are a few things to consider before completing your purchase:<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Temperature rating:<\/strong> The most important thing to look for when buying a garage refrigerator is its temperature rating. Most garage fridges will be certified for temperatures ranging from 38 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, which should hold up for most climates, but some models go beyond that range.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Another important feature would be adjustable shelving or modular bins. Since you're most likely using this for things that can't fit in your kitchen fridge, it's important to know that you'll have enough space for your second (or third) Thanksgiving turkey and the many drinks you want to keep on hand at all times.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Durability:<\/strong> The fridge should withstand everyday use and any temperature changes your garage may experience.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Energy efficiency:<\/strong> Running a second fridge doesn't have to be expensive. Many garage fridges come with Energy Star ratings and, depending on usage, may only cost up to $50 per year to run.<\/p>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n<h2>Why You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The team at <em>Family Handyman<\/em> knows a lot about fridges. We've researched and tested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/homeowners-guide-to-mini-fridges\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mini-fridges<\/a>, smart fridges, portable fridges and many more. We've also spoken to experts to find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/most-reliable-refrigerator-brands\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most reliable fridge brands<\/a> and written many articles on how to care for and repair your fridge. In other words, we know fridges inside and out.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We've also used and looked at the inside and outside of the fridges we write about. Four <em>Family Handyman<\/em> writers tested these garage fridges in North Carolina, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. Each tester placed beverages and food inside the fridges or freezers for two to three months up to two years, checking it regularly to ensure everything inside was being kept cold. We also noted how loud they were, how easy it was to store food and whether it increased our energy costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How We Found the Best Garage Refrigerators<\/h2>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In addition to speaking with Jason Lamprey, a 30-year construction veteran who's searched for garage appliances as part of his company's garage renovations, we actually tested many of the top-selling garage fridges.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before using the fridges, we researched more than a dozen models to find garage fridges with durable compressors that can withstand temperature fluctuations, enough space to hold our food and other features such as easy portability. We're not looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/why-is-my-fridge-water-dispenser-not-working\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fridge water dispensers<\/a>, as those are not found on most garage-ready fridges.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We then tested the fridges in garages for two to three months (and in some cases up to two years), checking them to ensure the food stayed cool. We also noted their noise levels and how much space they occupied in our garages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What's the difference between a garage-ready refrigerator and a regular refrigerator?<\/h3>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most kitchen fridge compressors, the part that keeps cold air moving, are only certified to work in rooms that are warmer than 60 degrees. Garages are often colder than that, and most \"garage-ready\" fridges are certified to work at 38 to 110 degrees to account for fluctuating temperatures throughout the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How cold is too cold for a refrigerator in a garage?<\/h3>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most companies certify their garage fridges for temperatures as low as 38 degrees, though some can work in
