Default fridge freezer in garage latest views

We want to buy a cheapy fridge freezer (or separate units) for the
garage. I've been reading old threads on this topic and wonder what
the latest views are. My specific questions a

1. Is there a cheapish fridge freezer that will work reliably below
10 degrees C?

2. Will any manual defrost freezer be OK, or is there a problem with
these as well?

3. Has anyone actually bought any products recently that they would
recommend?

Many thanks for any replies.


I think the main thing to avoid is buying a combined fridge freezer
which has only one thermostat (which AFAIK is most models) - the freezer
switches off when the ambient temp falls below 4 deg C or whatever,
because the fridge thermostat thinks it's cold enough. I've come a
cropper that way myself...
