Do these appliances require any kind of provision to be made for

Dribble it into a little tray on top of the warm pump to evaporate?
There's not enough to require a proper drain, and there's enough spare
heat in the pump to take care of it.

Yup: The water drains into a tray on top of the compressor and
evaporates.
Best not to buy one though.
I can't remember a fridge problem here that has not involved a frost free
appliance.

If the fridge is not perfectly horizontal, badly designed (Hotpoint)
ones can overflow before they fill.

We've had a frost free fridge freezer since feb 2004, it's been
fault free. It's a Servis.

So better than Hotpoint then.
