Hey everyone,

I'd like to get a small refrigerator for the garage, but I don't have any idea where to start.

I don't have room for a full-size fridge, but I'd like to get a smaller one that fits under my workbench (I'll have to re-locate one small cabinet to do this).

For those of you with a fridge in the garage, let me know what size/type you have and where you put it.

My daughter & son-in-law gave me a small Whirlpool fridge for Father's Day last year - they got it from Lowe's...I mounted it under the end of a work bench; heck, I even built a cutting block into the workbench top so I'd have a "food preparation" area; but its usually cluttered with other stuff...hehehe...Main thing to remember: keep it up off floor & leave back of workbench open so fridge can 'breathe':

In another garage a few years ago I got ahold of one at Wally-World, the size you are looking for is the college dorm size. A company call SUMMIT MAKES THESE FOR AROUND 120 BUCKS.....

Thanks for the ideas - is the Whirlpool fridge stainless? That looks nice.

I see you're a Mountain Dew fan too...a week's worth of sugar and caffeine, all in one can!

Yep, unfortunately diabetes type II finally got me - Agent Orange in vietnam - & I've had to switch to Diet Mountain Dew or Diet Seven Up.
