@suearcher@toot.wales @afewbugs@social.coop I wonder if people are getting insurance claims for freezer contents denied for ones that fail in the heat. Power cut, fine, the household can't do anything about that. But insurers could start to say the freezer wasn't being used as per the manufacturer's guidelines for operating temperature, so claim denied.

@beecycling@wandering.shop @afewbugs@social.coop I'm sure insurance companies will find any excuse not to pay out!

@beecycling@wandering.shop @suearcher@toot.wales @afewbugs@social.coop If you look closely at most modern home freezers, they explicitly say they’re not to be used in an outhouse or outbuilding, and have quite a restrictive cold/hot operating range. As you say, a gift for insurance companies. If you want something better, you have to fork out for commercial freezers.
