One with two separate compressors, (and thermostats)
Reason - If there is only a single compressor and the thermostat is in the fridge compartment and set at +5°C, when the weather (ambient) is cold (under +5°C) the thermostat will shut off the unit which will also stop the freezer section from reaching -19°C. The freezer section will then rise to ambient, possibly +2°C ?? and all your frozen food will defrost. The fridge temperature will still be ok at +2°C

if the temp.in the garage drops below about 37 degrees the compressor wont kick on. the temp.in the freezer could rise to 36 degrees ;then refreeze when the garage warms up. best not to keep food in freezer.

any fridge will work fine. my parents have a fridge/freezer and a full size freezer in the garage. nothing is going to happen, there is nothing in the mechanics of a freezer that will be damaged by the cold air.

Makes no difference any will do. I have the same in the house as in the garage and both are fine. One in garage uses less electricity because it is in the cold.

not sure. a relative was refused a sale of a freezer by a major u.k. supplier because he told them it was to be placed in a cold garage.
apparently, most freezers are designed to be used in a warmer environment!
how bizarre is that?

it doesnt matter if there is heat or not in the garage...the freezer will run to keep the right temp...

Garage heating or lack of makes no difference to whatever F/F you have, because they have their own insulation
