I'm going to need to buy an additional chest freezer soon, to fit large
amounts of dead pig, and, inspired by the Miele/washing machine thread,
wondered if those here had any recommendations.

As well as reliability and energy efficiency I'm also looking for one which
can survive being left in an unheated outbuilding which does get below
freezing. My existing (el cheapo, Zanussi-Electrolux) works fine there, but
I know that it isn't technically rated for it. My understanding is that
there's really only a problem on combined fridge/freezers, where cheaper
units has a single thermostat somewhere which may detect it cold enough
outside not to need to cool the fridge and it also decides not to cool the
freezer bit.
