Good deal on this small Fridgemaster chest freezer to replace existing one manufactured in Scotland. Liked drain plug on bottom and ability to work at a safe working ambient temperature between -15 degrees and +43 degrees Centigrade. Only time will tell how well it performs at temperature extremes or how well it lasts. Believed to be of Chinese manufacture. Not sure yet if thermostat bypassed when set at 'Max' i.e. continuous running for fast freeze. No alarm but didn't expect one.
