Tumble Dryer in Metal Shed

[securespark]

Some Beko freezers can be used in unheated spaces. Check the brochure. I don't know but I guess they are an older design.

Appliances have a Climate Class (might not be called this) which denotes which temperature range the appliance is built to operate in.

AFAIK, most UK appliances are SN (between 10 and 32°C).

The Currys website lists some of their chest freezers as "suitable for outbuildings".

I have the LOGIK freezer in an adjoined garage (which gets cold enough in winter to freeze emulsion paint!) and this is working well.

The worms need to be earthed.

They already are, as any fule kno - why do you think they are called that?

You can buy a lot of appliances for the cost of building a brick shed....

Particularly if using brick creates planning and/or Building Regs issues.

A wooden building can be DIYed more readily than brick - either completely from scratch if you have the time/wherewithal/inclination, or self-assembly kit.

Dunno where you live, but if you look at these people, f'rinstance, you'll see that there's a world of difference between proper wooden outbuildings and the cheapo garden sheds that the sheds sell.

BEKO have a range of models with a feature called "Feezer Guard" of which they say

"Freezer Guard
Beko's intuitive freezer guard technology means that you can position your freezer anywhere in the home and your food will stay frozen even if the outside temperature drops to as low as -15°C."

I have one of their earlier models with the Climate Class that works down to -5C ambient and it's been working fine in my garage for a few years now.

If and when we have winters where it drops down to -15°C, we can just turn these outdoor freezers off and leave the door open!!

We already do in some parts of the UK.

OOI, how does emulsion paint like being frozen?

Don't think -15 Celcius is cold enough - isn't a freezer is supposed to be no higher than -18?

Not much. It goes lumpy, and when stirred develops a granular consistency.

I'd say "curdled milk"

I have sometimes wondered if a kitchen blender would reconstitute it, but I only saw it in old metal cans and it was contaminated with rust flakes, so spoiled.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

You could still have tried, for future reference.

Maybe not using your blender though - put a hand-held mixer blade into an electric drill.

I tried with a mixer - sort of propeller-shape - in a drill. Flattened the battery twice, still very granular. I thought of trying to strain it, but found better things to do.

As others have said it takes on a crystallized consistency. After being allowed to thaw naturally (being used later in the year) it seems to perform as expected - although to be fair I can't comment on longevity.

Yea it should be at least -18, but obviously I was joking!
