Freezer ambient

I am looking at putting an upright freezer in my attached garage. A max-min thermometer, and other records, show that it occasionally drops to 5C, but is generally comfortably above 10C, possibly assisted by the hot water cylinder which lives there. The various acceptable climate ranges all seem to stop at 10C minimum. As far as I can see, the only manufacturer who states that they will work comfortably below 10C (way down to -15C) is Beko, and I am guessing they actually incorporate a small heater. I know that refrigeration gases have changed, and modern appliances do not behave like the old ones did, but I am tending towards taking what I perceive to be quite a small risk by not limiting myself to that make. Any thoughts? Chris

I rather suspect that this is how the Beko freezers work.

So they test a unit and it works.. how does that help consumers who then buy one that doesn't work because its slightly different due to manufacturing tolerances and the supplier says its not covered by warranty because its been abused?
