'Which' magazine recommends the Miele GT263 and for a hundred pounds
less the Zanussi ZFC 321 which comes in at £260.

The Miela has this feature which is suppose to expel the air inside,
after the lid is closed.

They actually say it expels the FROST inside, not the air.



With less air trapped the theory is that it
will not need defrosting as often as normal.

Knowing that its just not easy to get an airtight seal, the suspicion
is that it might draw the air out but; it will creep back in again
anyway.
Would anyone with experience of the Miele freezer know if its worth
paying the extra £100 for this 'de-frost' feature. *In other words
does it work as a means of cutting out defrosting? * * Thanks for any

That still doesn't make sense. how do they expel the frost, scrape it
off and then toss it out somehowwww??? They might mean a self-
defrosting freezer, that would make some sense at least.
