Can you plug a small freezer and fridge freezers into an extension cable?

I may need to get another small freezer for the kitchen  because I’m a food hoarder and my current fridge freezer is too full. Would this be dangerous?

If the extension cable can handle 13 amps and both freezers are fitted with 5 amp fuses then you'll be fine.

As above, as long as the extension lead is correctly rated then no issue.

Just make sure that where the plug from the appliance plugs into the extension, there's no danger of it getting wet.  And try and get an extension cable that's just the right length - and certainly never use a cable whilst it's partially coiled up or on a reel.

Given that you live in Housing Association / shared accommodation,  it is extremely likely that your electrical requirements need to be properly assessed and tested. This is not just your home anyway - remember that certain parts are shared and it may not be as simple as you wanting another freezer for yourself. You should discuss this with the appropriate people, which is not anybody here. 

Quite separately, I have noted that several posters have raised concerns about your use of threads as a means of social contact. Yesterday it was a motability car fines and parking,  when you don't even have one, was it not? With the best will in the world,  people here aren't a replacement for real life contact; and nor can they give you clear and accurate advice on your personal circumstances when they have limited or incomplete information. Your living circumstances are very different from those of most people here.

As per post above, given the housing you live in. This is something that needs to be discussed with your support staff. No one here can say exactly what rules are required in terms of electrical products, which may be in shared area or not.

They don't drawmuch current so it shouldn't be a problem.

If it's one of those extension reels, there should be a sticker saying max wattage rolled up and max wattage unreeled.
