  This is a fridge, not a freezer. PS: if you're buying a freezer to convert, pick one without a defrost cycle.

    That's even worse then - at least if the owner of a chest freezer forgets about something at the bottom layer, it's not going to become hazardous. With a fridge on the other hand, most things have a very finite lifespan before they become mouldy etc.

      How is this different from a regular fridge? The main reason people forget stuff in the freezer is because it's used as a freezer, for long-term storage. The shape isn't the biggest part of that problem. If you use this as a fridge you won't have the same issues. edit: having said that, the accumulation of condensed water at the bottom that some other commenters mentions seems like a real problem that needs a dedicated solution.

        The full article (linked in a PDF) mentions that the author puts his stuff on cardboard boxes with rubber feet so it doesn't get soaked in condensed water, and removes the condensed water every 2-3 months with a sponge.

    Haha, can you tell I'm trying to quit coffee this week? An entire article and half the comments in and I never noticed we're talking about a refrigerator and not a freezer. My bad!
