Advice sought on Frost-Free under-counter freezers

[paul25]

Hi folks

I’d like to replace my normal under-counter freezer with a frost-free one.

I’d like to know your thoughts on whether the frost-free technology works as advertised and does it affect reliability?

Are there any major downsides?

Which are the good makers and models?

I’d seen Lieberr frost-free freezers in John Lewis recently, are these a good make? Better than or equal to Bosch?

The dimensions of my current freezer are 850mm high and 550mm wide. It won’t be possible to fit one larger than this in the space available.

Sorry for so many questions and thanks in advance for your help.

Paul

Not much choice i am afraid, this size cabinet becomes even smaller when a frostfree as the workings are inside the cavity, check out liebherr smart frost units as they are easy to clean and good energy ratings

My opinion.

Frost-free= compressor,defrost heaters,drain heaters, overheat stats, defrost timer, fan motor,light switch, lamp, noise, less space. No manual defrosting (usually), rarely cleaned, usually filthy with peas under the bottom drawer.

Conventional = compressor, thermostat, light switch, lamp, more space, less noise. Switch off and defrost (and clean) twice a year.

Frost free freezers are a solution for a problem which would not exist if the ‘oh so busy’ generation were not as bloody lazy as they are.
