In our garage which stays relatively cool even in this weather.


Not always a good thing . Outside air temperature comes into play as
to when the compressor will run . If the outside air gets too low then
the compressor may not run so often, so eventually the Freezer will only
be as cold as the outside air .



Probably better put by these people.

See :- "Thawing"
In fact that whole article seems to think keeping a freezer in an
unheated uninsulated Garage is iffy.
Maybe fine, on the south coast, to. nah, in the north of Scotland.
