Freezers, frost free or manual defrost?

We have a frost free freezers, both uprights, and theybha

Apologies for above mess up. We have an upright frost free freezer and it's been with us now for 3+ years and works fine. It doesn't frost up at all. I think it works by evaporating the water that would be frost from a unit in the works. Much better than a similar non- frost free upright we had for many years which was a pain to defrost. I imagine they are all very similar. We got ours online from ao.com. It's a Beko FRFP1685X_SS. You may want to shop around though.

Frost free definitely- one chore eliminated. I'm on my second fridge freezer and the last one gave me many years of good service.

Frost free for years

Definitely frost free!

Definitely frost free. Ours is a Beko. We bought it at Currys.

Yes, I’m also in line for a frost free freezer - I think I will go for a Beko

I have a Samsung Upright frost free from Curry's. Got it 10 years ago and never had to defrost it. Still as good as new.

Thank you all for your help. I have had a look at that Beko and I think it will be the one.

How I wish you could get frost free chest freezers. I spent hours defrosting mine last week . I bought the spray which was mentioned in another thread but think my hairdryer method was probably as good. I might start off with the hair dryer next time then unplud it and spray. My house fridge freezer is no problem you just forget about defrosting .

Another vote for frost free. I have a hotpoint 50/50 fridge freezer approx 14 years old and 🤞 problem free. It’s so long ago I’d forgotten the unpleasant chore of manually defrosting.

I have a frost free Beko which I got from Currys. It is excellent, also very quiet running.

go for frost free

I like frost-free.
Why would anyone want to go back to defrosting I wonder?

I didn’t think that there would be an option now. Frost free any day of the week.

I second all of the above. Ours is an integrated under the counter one. Choice was limited but it’s a John Lewis one. No more crunching sounds pulling out the drawers, no more defrosting. Marvellous.

I’m going to replace my old frost freezer for new frost free one , this time I want a 50/50 fridge freezer , there’s Beko one that I like previously mentioned but not yet fully decided which one to have .

Another vote for frost free . We have two fridge freezers, both Beko, one in the garage. ( Not all makes are suitable for garages. )

Frost free every time both ours are fridge freezer and upright freezer

Frost free all the way here!

when we were looking at one for our garage was told that we could not have a frost free one by John Lewis

I didn't know there was such a thing as a frost free freezer, which just shows you how far behind the times I am!

Sounds a good thing for those who either can't get down on their hands and knees any longer, or dislike defrosting freezers.

I have made a mental note of the frost free freezer if the day comes when defrosting mine becomes a pain.

We had a frost free upright which kept on going wrong as the fan, which removes damp air, kept freezing up!
The repair man said some of them are prone to do that. Check on the reviews.

Oh dear I never thought to check out frost free. I replaced our old leaking one last week and picked a Liebherr one from the line up in the shop as it is a good brand and matches the frost free fridge we already have. Yes defrost is a pain to do and I miss a dear neighbour who would put some of my stuff in her freezer when the job needed to be done.
