Is there a difference between a regular freezer and a deep freezer?
Deep freezer is just a term for a style of freezer, in that's it's generally dedcated as a freezer without a refrigerator section. It may also be called `deep' because the freezer box is usually deep so that it can hold quite a bit of product.
Most deep freezers tend to have the opening in the top and can be a few feet wide and
usually a bit longer, and around 2 1/2 to 3' deep. Of course, there's varoius makes and models from which to choose.
Freezers are designed not to do that, but because we open the door for a bit too long, we let room temperature air in. This air contains water vapor. The water vapor condenses on, then freezes to all the walls of the freezer. This process repeats itself every time we allow water vapor to enter; this creates a thin layer of ice you might call frost.
Yes that is true but...
Normally when frost build up occurs its because warmer outside air is getting into the freezer and the moisture from that warm air cools and condensates then freezes into frost or ice. You either have a bad seal like the other listing states try leveling the front a little higher than the back. Or you may have an issue with the defrost heater, thermostat or timer. Do you have a light that comes on from time to time? If so you have an auto defrost unit. If there is no light you may not have a frost free freezer which means you will have to remove the frost manually. All refrigerators today are frost free that are made or sold in the USA so that's why your Kitchen Aid unit is not frosting over. You may have to call out service to fix the frost if you dont' resolve by leveling.

Should you purchase an extended warranty on a freezer?
If the peace of mind is worth it to you, go ahead and get it. However, very few extended warranties are worth the expense. With an object like a freezer, if it's going to be problematic, it will - 99.9 percent of the time - show up in the first thirty days, when you are automatically covered by warranty anyway.
If the freezer works fine for the first three months, it should go on for 14-15 years problem free.
