Is the Logik L198CFW23 Freezer Right for Your Shed or Garage?
After another heavy tomato crop from the allotment, I needed a reliable freezer to store sauces, blanched veg, and summer produce for the year ahead. Our kitchen freezer was always full, so I started looking for a second one – something with enough space for a couple, but not oversized or too expensive.
I came across the Logik L198CFW23 chest freezer at Currys, discounted at the time, and offering 198 litres of storage – plenty of room for batch cooking and allotment overflow. What stood out was that it’s marked as suitable for outbuildings, ideal as ours would live in a garage.
It’s a manual-defrost model, which is common at this size and price. It runs quietly, holds its temperature well, and the build is solid for a mid-range unit. The energy rating is E, not the most efficient, but fairly typical in this category.
Logik L198CFW23 user feedback
Several reviews mention how surprisingly spacious it is, with one user noting how much it holds despite its compact footprint. Many appreciated the two included baskets, which help keep smaller items accessible rather than buried. Quiet operation was also a recurring positive.
One point to consider is that its stated operating range is 10–38°C, so it’s best suited to sheds or garages that don’t drop too cold in winter. Ours, on the Kent coast, stays mild enough (it's insulated), so it’s not a problem – but it’s worth checking if your space gets close to freezing.
