if its in a room below around 13 degrees the selection will be reduced

These are great - not cheap, but save so much in electricity they pay for themselves: https://www.vestfrostsolutions.com/food/chest-freezers/sb200/

Interesting, why is that?

The room it will be in can fall to 10 degrees or so in cold winter weather but it's usually probably around 14 degrees in average winter weather and of course warmer in summer (the room also faces south (only with a small window though) so can get very warm in summer).

Thanks, I've never heard of them. Have they been around long? How is their customer care in the event of any issues?

its more to do with unheated shed and garages they need a special set up if it average less than say 13 degrees but iff its a heated house with the odd time a bit below 13% it will be fine
do a search for something like "will my freezer work in my cold unheated garage "
