I have a different model than this but I see the debate of auto vs manual brought up whenever a freezer deal is posted. They both have their pros and cons so it depends on your use case. Frost comes from water vapor freezing along the sides/coolest parts of the freezer. It's all about how often you're going to open it with humid ambient air around. I think those that don't like manual either keep it in a garage or truly don't like the idea of having to defrost it every 2-3 years. I live in Virginia and keep mine in my air conditioned basement. The humidity in my basement is typically around 45% and never gets above 55-60%. I open it maybe 1-2 times a week and try to close it back up quickly to minimize air exchange. After 2+ years I barely have any frost build up so I suspect it'll be at least another 2 years before I have to worry about it.

Given the extra cost and the risk of temperature fluctuations prematurely spoiling food it's not worth it for me to get an auto defrost. But your situation might be different. Chest freezers apparently have less of problem with frost compared to upright. I can't personally speak to that though.

I thought manual defrost was preferred over the auto-defrost freezers due to the heating coils in those causing nearby frozen meat to go bad prematurely?

Also, supposedly the freezer is garage ready (per photo) - that's a nice feature that other freezers don't necessarily have.

One of the reviews mentions "not bad for $198 rollback in 2024", so maybe we can save another $21 with a little patience.

Some people do prefer them due to the more stable temperature and decreased complexity with components. In the end, it all depends on what you are looking for.

I don't quite understand the difference. This freezer would go into my garage and likely will not come out again unless it breaks. We will just keep frozen meat/frozen products in there. Do I even have to worry about the distinction between manual and auto-defrost in this use case? Or will it require constant matience?

Freezers build up frost inside. Defrosting is necessary.

We're planning on putting this in a closet in our lower level (since our main freezer is very small in our kitchen). Anyone know how much space it needs around it for heat dissipation, or can it be right up against walls?

The hassle of returning this due to potential damage is keeping me from ordering it. Nothing available for pick up nearby.
