[DIYbio] What freezer for a starting DIYBio lab?

Hi colleagues and co-hackers,


I'm currently looking for a freezer for our budding lab and have problems choosing... there seems to be two groups of freezers available:

1) Kitchen freezers. Suspiciously cheap, often with incomplete specifications (even from the producer). Sometimes have some strange "features" like automatic defreezing (who in their right mind would use that?)

2) So-called laboratory freezers. Roughly four times as expensive as the top-notch kitchen freezers.

Now I hesitate. What should I get? (I tried to scavenge local professional labs for old devices, but so far they have no units to spare.)

What is your experience in this field? Would a reasonable kitchen freezer be sufficient? (Let's say http://www.liebherr.com/HG/en-GB/region-UK/products_hg.wfw/id-650058-0_35437-0 ).

Thanks everyone in advance,
