Re: Wine Cooler

Thanks Dr Dill
With regards to the wine coolers is there any others you would recommend at the 30cm wide and in the budget? What could I get by extending my budget?

Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

So reading all of this a Zanussi ZFC328WBB will work and stay frozen in my garage even during the winter, in central scotland but the warranty may be void if i keep it in a garage. ❓

Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

Whirlpool state the following
Will a freezer work properly if it is very cold or hot in my garage?
Answer
You must have the temperature set properly. Temperatures should not go below 40°F or hotter than 100°F for proper operation. If temperatures are lower than 40°F your thermostat may not allow the product to turn on based on colder than normal temperatures. The warmer the ambient temperature is (above 100°F) the more the product will run, and it
will be less efficient.

Looks like Whirlpool claim ok to 40 Deg F which is 4.44 Deg C

Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

The good thing here is that Beko should then be fully guaranteed unlike the others. The bad point is they only appear to produce 1 chest freezer and its too small 🙁

Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

This has probably been posted before but I just found this on the Beko website.

5. Do Beko freezers have an operational problem in low ambient temperature conditions?

No. In general, low ambient problem is observed in Fridge Freezers fitted with a single thermostat. Operational problems should not occur in single door products (for example larder fridges and freezers) at low ambient temperatures under normal conditions.

6. Are all Beko freezers capable of working at ambient temperatures below zero degrees C and down to -10 C?

Yes. All our freezers are designed, manufactured and tested accordingly.

7. When using Beko freezers in low ambient conditions, what should I take care of?
Some food packs may get warmer (i.e. above -18 degrees C) depending on actual conditions in practice, normally frozen food would not thaw as the temperature would still be very low providing it is below -9 degrees C

Looks like Beko should be ok then.

Re: Are Chest Freezers no longer suitable for Garages ?

I am in the same boat 🙁 My old fridge freezer does not work in the garage and we were looking to replace this with a chest freezer. Great deal on a zanussi ZFC328WBB just now but reading this forum has put me off.

Altough manufacturers are stating min 10degress for optimum use is there an actual minimum temperature that can be used?

Reading this forum and lots of others there is no definitive answer.

Any further thoughts would be appreciated as we only have a 2 drawer freezer in the house 😥
