How cold can a deep freeze get?

You won't get any colder than you would with the freezer at the lowest setting unless you are bypassing the factory controller.
Running it any colder than advertised would probably shorten the life of the unit by quite a bit. You'd be better off searching on the actual models/parts in question to see how they rate.
If you run the compressor continuosly the lowest you'll get is about -14F. Doing this occasionally is probably ok as it's a feature on some models (Fast Freeze).

Yeah, even my good refrigerator has a feature like that called "Speed Ice". Drops the freezer down to 6 below so it can turn out batches of ice faster. It's pretty handy when we use up all the ice for a cooler or something. Makes ice cream a real ***** to scoop, though....
