OT: Acceptable temps from a chest freezer

[Buzz^|]

LMFAO !!!

Easiest way of testing a freezer. Place a bottle of Absolute Black in
freezer and leave for 12 hours, remove bottle then cap, take a good long
swig directly from the bottle, based on the results it will give a good
indication of freezer functionality. Reply with results for analysis of
freezer health.

That's normally my approach - I'd rather pay a bit more for quality.
But I'm a bit limited on options due to where I live when it comes to
white goods. Fingers crossed this freezer behaves itself.

An refrigeration specialist friend of mine suggests that their are two
points to be observed when purchasing a fridge or a freezer. One is the
place of manufacture but the other is the type and make of compressor
unit. Some, like our 30 year old Kelvinator, will last forever whilst
others, even of the same brand, will not. My friend has assured me that
the cabinet on our Kelvinator will fall apart long before the compressor
unit wears out. I suspect he is right.
BTW, I didn't understand the reasons he gave for one compressor unit
being superior to another, way to technical for me. I'll just simply
seek his advice when purchasing a replacement in the (distant?) future.

Just as a matter of interest, are there any markings (there should be, on
the specification plate) indicating where it was made?

I'd be interested to know where they've relocated their refrigeration plant
to.

G'day Bob,

Made in NZ.

Yeah, much like water pressure cleaners, the older ones were better
made using brass components vs. the currents ones which mostly use
plastic. The older ones were just plain better made, I suppose.
