Hiya,
I'm looking for a 70/30 integrated fridge freezer and having done hours of research was going to go for either the Hotpoint HMB312AAI or CDA FW870.
But i have realised that neither are frost-free. Does anyone have any experience with new !!!!!!, how often would it need defrosting?
Is it worth shelling out for frost-free? They are a significant amount more...
I've found a frost-free Beko but general opinion seems to be to stay clear of Beko.
All thoughts appreciated!!

Frost-free freezers have higher running costs which may or may not matter to you. You should only need to defrost a freezer once or twice a year; I do mine in winter so I can stick everything outside to keep cold! If you accidentally leave the door slightly ajar a lot the freezer will need defrosting more often.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

I've had a frost free for coming up to 3 years, haven't had to defrost it yet.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0
