Defrosting Freezer szeiss 10-15-2006

If you are in a hurry, do not have a hair dryer or hot air gun, why not
try an electric skillet. I would put it on low and make sure it was
plugged into a GFCI plug.

Now, pardon my ignorance, while I've defrosted many a freezer at
different jobs, why would a person buy one? Are they cheaper? I
really didn't know they still made them. Are there other reasons to
get a non-frost free freezer? Just curious.
