Default Chest freezers suitable for outbuildings

o.uk...

It's hard to find a modern freezer that can be kept outdoors where the temperature can
go below freezing, though Beko do a few.


Beko are made in Turkey although the quality seems to be OK. Although some people
were wetting themselves a while back over one particular model catching fire.

"Traditional fridge freezers have a minimum ambient temperature of 10°C and are not
recommended for use in low temperatures. However, Beko's unique Freezer Guard
Technology means that many of our frost-free freezers are suitable for use in ambient
temperatures of -15°C, guaranteeing them suitable for outdoor use, even in winter.

For Beko fridge freezers with Freezer Guard, the freezer compartment will continue to
work
in low ambient temperatures, however the food in the fridge may freeze.

thanks to the link provided by the OP, there's always Ebac. A British owned company who
actually
still manufacture all their goods in the UK. Their freezers are protected by something
called "Temperature Guard". Although the pony tailed pillocks who they allowed to design
their
website for them didn't feel the need to actualy explain what this was - except that you
could put the
freezer in your garage. Nothing so complicted as the actual ambient temperture operating
range etc.
mentions of -15C etc
