If I had 12 cubic feet of space, rather than 5 cubic feet, I'd have 12 - 5 = 7 cubic feet of extra space for food to rot.
For my lifestyle, more space in a refrigerator is not more better... lower utility bill is much more better.
As to the freezer, I have a very small one down cellar. Don't need more.
If you're going to 'roll your own' thermostat, I'd suggest using a 1-wire temperature sensor... more accurate. An LED display would be nice too, but I was in a real hurry to prove or disprove the concept. The thermostat I ordered has a display, and I was able to use the Arduino serial monitor to see what was happening during testing.
Good luck with your search and conversion!
