Chest freezers don't defrost automatically so you defrost manually, once a year when new should do fine, when they get older and the insulation isn't as good as when new defrost a bit more often. As long as the shed is dry it should be fine although moisture in the air tends to make the cabinet rust. As regards the whirlpool brand there ok, I even see that they have gone back to Italy again for manufacturing and the Italians were always quite good at refrigeration
