Manual deforest.

That fridge hasn’t defrosted feature after a long time it accrues a lot of ice. Cause this refrigerator can’t eject ice or water.

So after a specific time, the user needs to clean it manually. It means manual defrost. And it hasn’t any extra ice or water removing drain.

Auto defrost vs manual defrost comparison.

1. Feature:

Self-Frost fridge or freezer work by a smart device. It has an eject drain, and it knows when it needs to clean. But, Frost-Free fridge hasn’t any smart device it can’t clean automatically.

2. Maintenance:

The Self-Frost refrigerator maintenance is easy by adjusting setting. And don’t need extra effort for caring it. For a long time, you don’t need to clean it. It’s reliable for you. But a frost-free refrigerator needs to extra care instead of self- defrost. Always you need to pay heed to it. So you can’t use it easily.

3. Pricing:

Self-defrost refrigerator price is so much instead of manul-defrost.

It price almost 50% extra compared to a frost-free featured fridge. So it isn’t perfect for a mini-fridge when you will find considering the price.

4. Energy Cost:

When you follow on the energy cost it much from a manul-frost refrigerator. Cause, heating coil and auto defrost feature eat extra energy, and after internal heating, it loses her cold. For this reason, it needs extra energy.

Another hand frost-free fridge is more energy-saving for without this feature.

So, for a small fridge or home uses it’s not convenient. But commercial purposes it’s a most important feature.

5. Dust Remove:

Self-frost fridge can remove extra water and frozen ice. But it can’t remove food scrap. So, you need to clean it like a frost-free fridge manually.

6. Noise Level:

Normally, a defrosting refrigerator is noisy. For this frosting time, its internal is little warming. Then it needs extra effort for cool again. For this recycling this compressor is noisy. Another hand frost-free fridge is the lowest sound.
