So I have been searching craigslist religiously for a chest freezer to use as a fermentation chamber. Most of the freezers I have found are about 10 years old give or take a year or so. My question is, how long do these units last? I know that is partly dependent on the cycling of the compressor. Keep in mind I am in Arizona and these freezers have most likely been in garages that average 120F. I guess I am looking for some testimony that either says yeah they die around 15 years or I have a 20 year old freezer that runs just fine. Thanks HBT.
