Freezers use a lot of energy. And storing one in the garage (in the summer) is a little too much like storing an ice cube in a cup of hot chocolate for my taste.

That's an interesting observation about accumulating sentiment with time for things associated with things you didn't even like. I haven't noticed that particular problem in myself (yet). My problems lie more in the "I might use this some day" camp and the "but this is still perfectly good" camp.
