Safe for Garage Use

IN A SENTENCE...
Good range of features and safe to keep in the garage even down to -15 degrees Celsius

IN DETAIL

This is the smaller brother to the Beko CF1300APW although it still packs in almost 300 litres of usable space and otherwise shares the same great features as that unit.

Lock and Light
For starters, there is a counterbalanced lid (won't slam shut on you!) and it is also lockable to keep the kids away from the ice lollies. A lid-mounted internal light helps you find what you need. Beko CFA1100APW chest freezer

Likes the Garage
Best of all, this freezer has Beko's FreezerGuard technology which allows the freezer to work in air temperatures of down to -15 degrees Celsius - making it perfect for the garage or other unheated outbuildings.

It comes with two removable storage baskets to help you organise your food stash which is nice to see (some freezers only come with one). People like the easy installation, but think the power cord could be longer.

This is a deservedly popular unit in the medium-large category and has very good user feedback. Beko were one of the first to make their freezers garage compatible.
