You haven't seen my non-frost-free freezer apparently. I seldom
use it
and defrost it about once a year when the ice buildup impacts
the shelf
space.
If a freezer is not opened to let in humid air it is VERY dry.

Nonsense, where has the water gone then?

When you defrost the old style freezer you break off the ice and
throw
it away. On a "frost free" it is melted, runs down the back and
drips
out the bottom into a tray under the fridge. The condenser coil is
usually under that tray and evaporates the water into the air in the
house.

I guess people have better frost free designs than I do.

Maybe so.

Just an old joke - but "British engineering" tends sometimes to be
something of an oxymoron - - -

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't,. The Dyson and the Vax vacuum
cleaners are both British. Yet I've had a Vax for 30 years. Dysons
last about 1 year.

Our Dyson is 14 years old and working perfectly.


You don't have kids or pets.

We had 4 cats, the last of which died about 3 years ago, but what has
pets and kids got to do with it?


They clog the vacuum cleaner up. I was given a Dyson. Bloody thing got clogged every time I used it. It's got triangular (!) tubes inside it, and to clean them you need to remove parts of the machine with a screwdriver!

And they don't suck any better than a standard Hoover. Remember those good old upright Hoovers? It's the spinning brush that makes it pick things up better. The cyclone is pointless. Why would I want to see the dirt spinning round and round a clear container?
