Is it frost free or do you have to defrost manually?

Every 6 months, I defrost it manually. Not a big deal. LOVE IT! Better than I expected for the money! Low cost to run too.

Yes; however, I have not had to defrost it yet after having it in operating condition since June 27th. In searching for a compact fridge/freezer, I tried to find a frost-free but failed to find one in the cubic foot capacity size I wanted. I read reviews offered for the SPT and noticed comments about not having to constantly defrost this product. I liked it so much that I forfeited the feature of frost-free and am not disappointed so far with my choice. There has been a minimum of frost accumulated thus far.

Yes - it is plugged into a standard outlet. It works very well, and although I've had it for some time, it doesn't really need defrosting.

I'm not sure, I haven't needed to defrost since I got it (which I think was in November).

No. It is not. I do not recommend putting anything in it till after your last frost date.

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

Quick answer: No. For mine: I have a screwdriver to *gently* chip away any build up frost in the freezer (top) part. For the refrigerator part (bottom): water beads up at the back of the refrigerator and turns hard. But the refrigerator turns off and the water softens and rolls to the bottom where it drains through a hole at the bottom. The freezer part (top) does not have a drain hole. In my opinion, it's nothing serious.

I put it in the freezer and it frosted like a glass mug. I put water in it and it looks like a frosted mug but I don't know if it will be as cold as glass.

I don't use the freezer, however, I has an inch of frost in it since February.

Has a little freezer enough for one ice tray. I've had it a couple of years and have not needed to defrost.

It is a refrigerator only; no minute freezer compartment taking up space, hence no defrost required.

I don't know the technical details..BUT the inverter defrost manages to defrost without leaving part of the food frozen, and another portion cooked.

Well, you have heard something that is completely wrong. Some people says things without knowing what they are saying. Pioneer has an sophisticated defrosting system. Just like every other well known brand heat pump in the market, it will automatically start defrosting mode when it feels ice build up on the coil based on a sophisticated set of instructions in its operating logic.

I don't know. Mine has never shown "defrost". It shows the % humidity. I would suggest to read the manual.

Edit: you could probably leave the freezer door open and it would defrost it that way

I am sorry I really do not know. I bought this as a gift for somebody in Florida so there is no worry for freezing.Sorry I cannot be more help.
