Garage
I have a lot of fridges. Oldest are two GE's that I use for homebrew fermentation and dispensing - they have the freezer compartment behind the single door. Probably 30-40 years old. I bought them from an apartment manager in 1994 and they were old then.

Next oldest is a Kenmore 22 CUFt side by side we bought in 1992 - it is backup fridge in the garage (very hot in the summer) Works well - I have the icemaker and water dispenser hooked up.

Next is a side by side that was in the house when we bought it in 2002 - probably made in 1996-7. It has some issues but has a cabinet style front that matches the kitchen....

Don't tell the EPA, but we run an under counter near-empty wine cooler and a chest freezer in the garage. All these fridge units likely suck up a lot of energy - but replacements would be spendy. I'll be ready to do so when needed. Fridge space may run in my family. My childhood home has a walk-in cooler where the original owner hung game. I equipped it with a keg and tap when I was in college.
