As our current unit is plainly struggling, I'm about to buy a new
frost-free combination fridge/frezer. But I'm confused about one
feature that is offered on some models and not others, namely
'Automatic defrost'. If the product is frost-free, then why would I
ever need to 'defrost' it? And I've seen posts which seem to imply
this feature is undesirable, and that manual defrosting is preferable.
The more I read, the more hazy the issue becomes!

Any crisp and clear advice on this would be greatly appreciated
please, as I need to place an order fast.
