I believe it would be good. It's kind of like those soda vending machines they keep outside. And look at all the ice chests that convenient stores keep outside.

I know some refrigeration equipment they use outdoors have a small electric heater that runs around the compressor to keep the oil warm. But for the amount that yours would have to turn on and off in the cold weather.... I don't think it would be something to worry about.

Ours had an issue in the freezer if the garage gets colder then freezing. Put heat in garage set temp to 45 problem fixed  .

Meats and freezer items would thaw out if garage got below freezing which it did .

Never kept a full freezer in garage but the freezer on top of garage fridge has thawed on really cold nights in Ohio. Beer in fridge was good and cold but freezer was partially thawed. The fridge/freezer combination works great 11 months out of the year for me. But I would not trust it on a real cold night with anything you would worry about spoiling.

I have to run a space heater in the poorly
Insulted garage every once and again in the winter to keep the stand up fridge/freezer and chest freezer operational. Yes, I need two full size fridge/freezer (one obviously in th kitchen) and a chest freezer at least until the boys go to college! I also have another old stand up fridge freeze in my shed that is only used to hang meat in warm temps.

Many people have it in garage and don't even realize there is an issue.  Especially if the garage temp is close to freezing and the next day it warms up to say 40 degrees . Only time I really had issues was when it was 0 outside.  As I said I put heat in garage and all are happy.  Freezer works and cars are warm.

I have a wireless thermometer I use now , one sensor in my basement freezer and one in the upstairs fridge .

Works great and has an alarm so you can set the high and low temps
