This is kind of what my parents have done in my childhood home. But our real fridge never broke. We just have this older fridge/freezer in the garage to hold extra food in, and it is a genius idea for a family to have the extra space
It is nice to have two fridges for a few reasons!
One can be used for stuff like drinks like beer/soda and food that doesn't go bad quickly.
The other is that if neither one is packed full, it means space is available to put things in when making food for groups. Keep that beer/soda fridge half full and you can put trays of food in it while finishing up the cooking. You still want both to be like half full for the thermal mass instead of leaving one empty, but it is really nice to have aome extra fridge space once in a while and if they are both energy efficient then it doesn't even cost much as a rarely opened fridge doesn't fail as much as one that is constantly opened and closed. Constantly being opened and closed wears out the seals and cooling components faster from wear and tear.
If you don't look into electricity costs, it is a great idea. I had an old 100L fridge, when I looked into it, it consumed more power then my new 360L one. I sold it for some beer money. If I ever need a second fridge it will literally be cheaper to buy a new one after 5 years of power bills.
