That's something you check before you buy because they are not all made
alike. My last freezer had a small hole on the front, and I could never
figure any way to attach a hose without leaking. I ended up placing papers
under the freezer and then alternating pans to catch the water. It was
*very* awkward because the hole was so close to the ground (for drainage
purposes, of course) that I could only slip a very narrow pie pan under it.
That would only hold a small amount of water, so I did as much as possible
to lift ice out and kept a mop on hand to mop up water from the *inside* of
the freezer. It was a chest type, so that was hard on the back. The
freezer my mother had years ago did have a drainage hole with an extension
for connecting a hose. That helped a lot. I now have an upright frost-free
freezer -- maybe not the most efficient, but *much* easier to locate things
than a chest freezer, and no more struggling with cleanup.
