Most freezers don't work at low temperatures. I can't remember if it is 5 or 10 degrees C. They may not be doing their job in an unheated room during the worst of the winter.
It's worth checking the specifications of a freezer before buying if it's going to be kept in an unheated room.
I have a Beko fridge freezer in my garage. That may not have been my first choice of manufacturer but it works fine in winter. (I use it to store fishing bait)
From memory my freezer says it's operating environment should not fall below 11C. What sort of person am I to remember this, I bought the thing 11 years ago!
