i agree completely to this, and i would generally buy used but in good condition (the one i have now in my room is a used $50 GE, works fine except for the frosting issues and is only a few years old, maybe 3 or 4) but nowadays i don't have the proper funds to go in person. most of the stuff i buy comes from a different way. i work online and pay with online currency.
plus i'm not looking for a large one, just a smaller energy efficent model. something enough to put dive food and maybe an occasional bag of ice on the bottom rack.

I use a Digital Temperature Controller with a small chest freezer. Shop around for the freezer, I just used this one 'cause I was on Amazon. Think I got mine at Sam's Club. This is inexpensive to set up and really frugal on electricity. All the cold stays in the compartment when you open it. Also - super insulated compared to a beverage cooler. It's not stainless, but you can get compact chest freezers in black. If you like DIY, you could buy a cheap chest freezer and cover it with [stainless steel laminate] (https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Appliance-BRUSHED-Nickel-Adhesive/dp/B00BAUPS9M/).
Well... cannibalizing is really the way to go. Cheaper on craigslist, but you get everything you need in one of these, you just have to configure it to fit your own box if you need something different.

I'll be damned - just quick searching too.
You're a smart internet stranger!
I had considered dry ice, but unfortunately, while it doesn't have to be 100% precise, we'd need to hold at around a given temp for maybe an hour or 2 - the thing we're testing has to be fully brought to that temperature and has some mass so it would take a bit to bring the whole thing to that temp - i.e. we'd want to say the thing is nearly homogeneously at that temp, rather than just being able to say the ambient temp.
Actually think I might go with this one - doubles as fridge/freezer, down to -8F, built in temp display, $450. Thing of beauty!
This is the one I got for him

He's been using it about 1.5 mo this and it keeps things frozen solid. It's really small so he'll put it on the floor or in the passenger seat if he needs the floor space.
This is the only small freezer I've been able to find on Amazon (or anywhere really) that is rated to biological storage temps and doesn't cost an absurd amount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NO58JLK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wi16CbN6YQA5P
I put a little 1.1 cu freezer on my registry at Amazon. We don't have room for making up some freezer meals, and we definitely don't have room for breast milk, so this seemed like a good plan. If nothing else, we would then be able to buy the big packages of meat and break it up into meal portions.
