And what did you get? I've looked a few options, not sure it's something I want to acquire yet, but my standard -20C mini freezer is gonna get overcrowded pretty soon.
Who here bought a -80C freezer?

It's been a while since I've heard anyone mention going that overboard on a freezer, especially after the tests showing even dramatic temperature swings didn't cause degradation.
Perhaps this pursuit is a side-effect of your deathly citrus allergy?

I was actually hoping to impress Samantha Carter with a dry ice disco

I have a -40
I tried one of those stirling ultra cold I got used off eBay and it was junk so I sent it back

A guy on meso highly recommended those but looking into people who claim to work with them they are no good.

I think they’re really designed for transport and keeping things cold for 24 hours or so at a time and not running 24/7/365

So a -40 F freezer would be waste of money?

I looked at https://northaircool.com/collection...ow-temperature-freezer?variant=42272923517086 but couldn’t pull trigger on it. I ended up getting a hydrapeak thermos and put the vials in that in my regular freezer to guard against power outages.

I was trying to figure out how to ensure my tirz could keep for the next three decades while planning for contingencies like civilization falling apart and day-to-day life plunging into pseudo-anarchy and Mad-Max-style road gangs. And in such a scenario, I'm forced to hide underground and ride a stationary bicycle to power a decrepit generator with an exhaust pipe going up to a fake bush on the surface that the simple-minded plebs all decide to worship because "hey look! bush make smoke and not burn!", and all to keep my tirz cold. So in this scenario, efficient chilling would be important.
Ideally we'd like to keep our tirz colder than the microwave background radiation of the universe, but because we live on this volcanically active planet, fridge manufactures keep throwing out excuses to justify their weak temp specs. So it seems -86C is about the best we can hope for in the four figure price range until science advances to the point where someone can make a decent value cosmic heart of darkness, or until the collapse of civilization removes all remnants of hope. Of course if we do go the way of authoritarian structure instead of full entropy collapse, then by that time we may have sleeves--Altered Carbon style--in which case we won't need peptide injections anymore. So something to look forward to in either case.
