I have an old fridge that sounds like a commercial air compressor and has sulfur Dioxide as refrigerant, it keeps cold and looks awesome. What do I win?
~30 year old hotpoint that came with the house, had survived 5 basement floods and still kicking, despite missing every single door shelf.
23 years (not that old).
2 bags of wine.
Leftover food that won’t fit in the house fridge.
Random drinks.
Couldn’t say. It was given to us by our old neighbors so at least 10+ years. But our garage can get over 100° and this thing just keeps trucking along.
15 years, works better than our newer one.
26 year old Kenmore. Full of meat, beer and Coke Zero
Mine is a dorm room fridge I bought in 1986 for my sophomore year, it is full of Michaelobe.
I recently sold one that was manufactured in 1950. A guy bought it for his man cave. Still worked and made ice and I had the original owners manual for it.
It was here before I moved in and that was almost 20 years ago. Probably closer to 30 yo.
Ours is new, but it replaced one that was ~30yo. She passed earlier this year.
Probably 25 years old Frigidaire gallery. Have a 3 year old one in the house and had to already replace the main box a year ago. Just don’t make em like they used to
About 13 years old. It was the fridge that was in the kitchen when we bought the house. The kitchen was done in about 2012 before we bought the house in 2020. The oven barely worked so we got a stainless oven and slowly matched a microwave and fridge as funds allowed. We kept the white fridge and moved it to the garage.
We just wrapped up a cabinet install and we want to get a new fridge with an ice maker to fit into the new cabinet space. Only one fridge to go!
Edit:
I have a frozen turkey, some ice packs, one pound of ground beef. Drinks are an assortment of hard beverages and mostly Voodo Ranger beers from their Hoppy Pack.
Not mine (I don’t know how old it is, I bought the house 5 years ago and moved the main fridge to the garage last year), but my parents garage fridge is about 40 years old.
They were given the fridge as a wedding present from my grandma in 1985. It’s an Eaton Viking
They’ve gone through 3 replacements refrigerators since moving this one to the garage in the early 2000’s.
Just keeps chugging along.
Holds water, soda, wine, beer, frozen burgers, ice. Nothing crazy.
1935 frigidaire.
Full of eggs… Lots and lots of eggs…
Don’t have a garage (who does in London?), but the current fridge was bought back in either 1999 or 2000 – a Lec fridge-freezer.
A late 1950’s Crosley so pushing 70 years old.
20 years ago I screwed on a drip tray and put 2 beer taps through the front with a CO2 line in the back to run 2 x 19litre soda kegs of homebrew.
Y’all got a garage? Fuck y’all! I’ve got a closet that’s supposed to be for clothes that has been repurposed as a storage unit. I’ve got a tool cabinet from Harbor Freight in my kitchen just to give me a little more storage space.

Why would I have a fridge in my garage ?
From the 80s. It was my dad’s first mini fridge.
Works wonders.
I went to Lowes and few years ago and bought their cheapest refrigerator for the garage. It was fine until the freezer stopped working during the winter. Turns out it’s not rated to work below a certain temperature. Maddening
3 years? I keep it in the basement, though. We have a tool bench, that was already in place before we moved in, that takes up too much room for us to fit a fridge and both cars.
Edit to add: It’s almost all drinks and the occasional leftovers. The freezer is full of back-up frozen dinners, Popsicles, and ice packs.
It was the basement fridge when we moved in to our previous house. Probably 25 years old, GE. That thing just cranks
Got about a case of loose beers, the kids milk and juice, frozen breads, etc.
We’ve replaced the kitchen fridge a couple times
My garage refrigerator was purchased new in 1996. It still runs exactly as it did then except there’s mildew on the seals. We put overflow food there. Unfortunately, I end up throwing away a lot of the fruit we buy and store there because people forget the fruit is there.
This reminds me of my college refrigerator. In 1986, a kid was moving out of the dorm and gave me their refrigerator. It was roughly 4 cubic feet and had a separate upper freezer compartment. When I graduated, I kept it with me until I got married. I moved it to my wife’s classroom (she was a high school teacher) where my wife used it to store her lunch. When my wife left that school, she moved it to the teacher lounge. A few years ago, she visited her old school and saw the refrigerator still working in the teacher lounge.
22 year old el cheapo from Best Buy.
400 years old
Doesn’t exist
But the basement fridge is from the 50s
1992 Kitchen Aid, in my AZ garage for the last 16 years. Beer.
It’s a 24 yo Haier freezer. Tri tips and ribs
I’m not beating anybody, my garage fridge is less than a decade old. I bought a fridge when I bought my first house in 2015, and then when we moved in 2020, the new house had a nicer fridge in the kitchen already.
The garage fridge has a bunch of beer / hard seltzer and some of my wife’s various work foods (yogurt, cheese packs, etc). The freezer has a bunch of bulk meat.
Props to the fella with the sulfur dioxide fridge, that’s pretty neato.
Not a fridge, but the deep freeze in my garage was being used by my mom before I was born
I don’t have a garage fridge but I have a garage freezer. It’s been sitting unplugged in there 18 years.
Mine was built in the 90s. Beer, soda, tea, and frozen goods in the freezer part.
Sticker said it’s from 2002. Dose the job.
It was about 30 years old until it finally died.
Don’t have a garage fridge, but our kitchen fridge is an old kenmore from 1993, 32 years old and still kicking.
Old super basic Kenmore. Wife and i bought it for our first place. We bought it when we got engaged in 1984. We upgraded to a big fancy stainless side by side 7 years ago. The old one has passed on to friends kids. It still runs like a watch.
41 years is pretty good value
