One of the advantages of having a self defrosting freezer is no need to manually clean up the ice build up. Another great thing about manually defrostation is frozen foods are not as prone to stick together.
Sorry but "defrostation"?
Frost-free freezers are beneficial because you never have to defrost them because of their fluctuating temperatures. Unfortunately foods, especially those with high in fat, degrade with the fluctuating temperature.
It stops frost from gathering up, it is also known as auto defrost.
It is a refrigerator that does not need to be manually defrosted. It does not build up ice on the inside, it maintains itself.
Manual-defrost freezers are generally more energy efficient and quieter than self-defrosting models. But defrosting can take hours.
The best freezers depend on whether you need them for commercial or residential use. The Frigidaire FFU12F2HW is the best self-defrosting upright freezer.
The top of the line GE and Kenmore freezers need very little maintainance such as defrosting.
Defrosting takes place in most machines where frost forms. That is refrigerators, freezers, on aircraft, automobile windshields to name but a few. Defrosting may be done by heating above freezing or by the application of chemicals.
No almost all modern freezers come with a automatic defroster.
The Frigidaire model AFFC1466D is a self defrosting chest freezer model.
Many people are under the impression that will keep them fresh. What they don't know, is with today's self defrosting freezers, they are actually doing more harm than good. (this includes cigars as well) The freezer is actually drying out the tobacco, exactly what you were trying to prevent. Ever notice how ice left in a tray will eventually disappear or "evaporate".
Chest freezers are better because they use less energy, have more usable space and are cheaper. They are easier to organize though. You can read more differences at http://housewares.about.com/od/refrigeratorsfreezers/a/chestvsupfreezr.htm
Frost-free freezers tend to preserve food better because they prevent the build-up of frost and ice, which can lead to freezer burn and deterioration of the food quality over time. The automatic defrosting feature in frost-free freezers helps maintain a more consistent temperature, which is crucial for preserving the quality of frozen foods.
No they are not. In fact you can buy freezers seperate and you can buy refridgerators without freezers.
Defrosting gets rid of any ice that's frozen in the refrigerator and freezer.
Generally, all chest freezers are larger than normal freezers although you are able to purchase some chest freezers which are smaller than normal freezers.
