Anything else I should be aware of, or is this all as simple of just purchasing a freezer, plugging it in, and I’m good to go?
One other piece of advice. Plug a small nightlight, or similar light into the same receptacle as the fridge/freezer. Set the light on top of the unit, or somewhere you can see the light. Like most of us, we don't go into the unit in the garage as often as the one in the kitchen. If you lose power to that receptacle, the light being out will be the first sign of an issue.
