Stuff will keep twice as long at 0 as at 10. Basic law of chemical
reactions and temperature. Ice cream lasts much better, the growth of
the ice crystals is slower. As for wasted juice, there are separate
refrigeration systems for the freezer and the fridge, which helps
some. Theoretically, zero will take a sixth more juice than ten,
assuming a 70 degree room. If you want your stuff to keep for a long
time -30 is worthwhile.

The name of the manufacturer is Sub-Zero and it is by far the best.
The name should tell you something.
