Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?
Hi,
Having read most of the blogs on this subject it seems clear that there appears to be no definitive answer.
Older freezers seem to be OK, but it is the newer ones that have the problem with cold exterior environments. Certainly our Fridge/freezer we bought a couple of years ago defrosted during cold weather when in the garage.
It occurred to me, therefore, to look for a commercial freezer as an alternative.
One web site that popped up was
http://www.alexanders-direct.co.uk/chest.html
selling Vestfrost freezers which they claim has a “Skin Condenser (Ideal for Garages and Out-Buildings)”.
On a trip to Currys this morning the only freezer they recommended was the BEKO TZDA627FW (£280) as this had twin compressors (it is an upright freezer with a fast freeze section).
John Lewis also advertise freezers that work on garages.
Hope that helps.
