An integrated, frost free small freezer needed!

Can anyone help, please?

I have tried Comet, Currys etc but no-one seems to make what I need, I can't find anything on the Net, either, very frustrating! It's the frost free bit which is causing the problem.

Size approx 86cm high x 55cm wide.

Thanks.

Aren't you looking for something that doesn't exist?

The only two 'frost-free' Liebher that this search engine gives are in fact with 'FrostSafe System' that is something different ...

thanks, Grumbler, it seems you might be right, I do find it strange that there is no such product with so many fitted kitchens about, don't you?

I will check out the ones you suggested, but could you tell me the difference between automatic de-frost and frost-free?

Auto-de-frost would appear to be OK.

Thanks

In short, frost-free don't have cooling panels - cooling elements are hidden somewhere inside and a fan is used to circulate cooled air. This is an explanation from Whic?extra site:

Frost-free
One of the first things you need to decide is whether to opt for a frost-free or standard model.

Frost-free models do away with the chore of defrosting the freezer. They work by forcing air through the freezer cabinet, which removes the moisture that would otherwise freeze and build up as frost or ice over time.

Frost-free models don’t cost much more to run than conventional models, and the smarter ones will adjust the amount of defrosting they do to keep excessive icing at bay.

However, there is a price to pay for the convenience. Food with a high fat content, such as ice-cream and some meat, may deteriorate during long-term storage because of the repeated thawing and freezing that happens during the defrost cycle.

And, if food isn’t carefully wrapped, it may dry out more quickly than it would in a standard freezer.

It's also more important to allow space around food for air to circulate in frost-free models than it is in conventional ones.

Automatic defrost have traditional panels inside, but these panels get warm periodically for short instants to melt the ice. The water is collected and evaporates.
