Not sure why you would buy a frost free chest freezer, they are louder, more expensive to run, and don't keep the temp as consistent.

Sounds like you guys were misusing it all around Embarrassment because a chest freezer shouldn't be a constant use thing and yeah you shouldn't be leaving any fridge/freezer open for minutes at a time multiple times a day.

The only time a defroster makes sense on a freezer is an upright but that's because uprights are such an awful form factor you have to go with a frost free model. Uprights are awful because every time you open them the air flushes out so the whole thing has to cool down as opposed to a chest freezer where the air sits when you open it.

It's not as much of a concern on a chest freezer, it's typically only around the opening that ice builds and even then it isn't much. Will you eventually have to defrost it? Yes. After 5yrs with my Midea chest freezer am I even close to needing to do it? No.

I'm seeing a lot of comments where it arrived damaged. And some got a full refund without having to return it and others would only get a refund if they returned it. That's the one issue where I'd have if they want me to return it. I don't have any way of transporting it.
Mine had a couple dents, Walmart told me the only options were 1) keep it or 2) package it up and return it to a Walmart store myself for a refund.

Yeah that's BS. They wouldn't drop some of the cost down.

what is frost free one?
One that you do not have to clean out every 18 months. However, they cost more.

Any sense of if having walmart+ made it any more likely to not have to deal with the return?

I have WM+ and they would only issue a refund if I took it to the store myself. YMMV.

I have ordered twice, both time arrived with big dents. It might be fault from fedex delivery.
First time return to store, second time called Walmart customer care. They sent return by mail with fedex tracking. But we need to call fedex for schedule pickup from your location.

There actually is, just use cheap wire baskets. Makes it easy to keep meats, veggies, etc. separated.

Got this one in a previous deal. Pretty solid freezer so far but expect it to arrive dented or scratched. I know 3 people who ordered one and all of them arrived beat up in some way.
Maybe it's a feature. LOL

Quote from ThriftyIdea6692 :
I suspect it is affected by environment and use-case - grew up in super-humid FL, parents never ran the A/C in the house so it was always a sauna, and they had a chest freezer that got opened frequently - I couldn't tell you exactly how often it needed defrosting, it wasn't something I paid really close attention to, but seems like at least a couple times a year needed to be defrosted. In a dryer environment and with infrequent opening, yeah, probably much less needed. Maybe that's why we kids always got yelled at to close the dang freezer when we stood there for 5 minutes with it open trying to figure out what we wanted out of it Wink
Sounds like you guys were misusing it all around Embarrassment because a chest freezer shouldn't be a constant use thing and yeah you shouldn't be leaving any fridge/freezer open for minutes at a time multiple times a day.

Quote from JinJ6618 :
Not sure what production line you are using right now in the US, but in Asian, the main products are all frost free without the cons you listed. The ones that are building ices on the wall are slowly rolling out of the market.
By function they have all those cons, for a defroster to work it needs a fan (noise,) and to cycle the temp (that's how it defrosts,) and because of that they use more power.
