MummyHen Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I need a new freezer - chest or upright - I don't mind. It will live in the garage/shed - I was thinking a 300 or 400 litre chest freezer but OH thinks an upright would be more practical Does anyone have any recommendations?

abwsco Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 As it's going to be in a cold place you need to make sure that it will still run in cold temps. I think only chest freezers will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ditto, when I bought our last freezer, the first question I was asked by our fabulous retailer was if it was going to be kept inside or outside. Our last one we kept outside and it died in the winter 2 years ago, I think down to the cold weather and it not being able to function in these temperatures.

Saronne Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'd go for a frost-free chest freezer. I have an Electrolux. I used to hate defrosting my old chest freezer - it took ages and was such a mess..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Beko uprights will also work in cold places too. Personally I prefer uprights to chest freezers... Easier to locate things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
