I just took my expired chest freezer (as in double the size of a
washing
machine) to the dump, and was accused of it being commercial.

Buy some fool.

Agreed.

Do people not use these things anymore?

They certainly do here. More common than
the vertical freezer only freezers. Stupidly
IMO, the vertical ones with drawers work
much better, particularly the frost free ones.

I'd actually prefer vertical ones, but I'd need more than one as they
don't store as much as the chest freezers.

Mine does.

All the way from New Zealand? :-)


We have a free trade area with them.

For some reason everyone here has combined fridge freezers,


They are also the most common here, tho
plenty do also have a standalone freezer
as well as the combined fridge freezers.

which means each half is too small.


But you are free to buy a pigeon pair if you believe that.


Until you showed me yours (oo er!) I didn't know you got full height
freezers. The full height fridges are common here (they're called
"American style" because Americans eat so much), but I've never seen a
freezer like that.


Like I said, you need to get out more.

And they're more susceptible to colder ambient temperatures as they tend
to have only one compressor and one thermostat,


But hardly anyone has their combined fridge freezer in the garage etc.


So their kitchen is a constant precise temperature is it?


Nope, just doesn't swing around as much as the garage.

Guessing at the freezer compartment's temperature is farcical.


No guessing involved.

so stupidly the freezer can be too warm when the fridge is correct.


Wrong.


Why?


They don't do that.

What irritated me is he thought it was commercial. Everything in
supermarkets etc has a glass top.


Yeah, he's just a fool. There's a reason he 'works' at the dump.


Indeed. I had an argument with another one, who was trying to tell me
that the speedbumps installed on the approach road to the dump were for
safety. I told him that the half of the hedge I'd brought in my trailer
that had escaped while negotiating the bumps was scattered randomly about
and he'd have to go fetch it.


Because you were actually stupid enough to charge over it.
