Does it have a freezer? Will I have to manually defrost?

Has a little freezer enough for one ice tray. I've had it a couple of years and have not needed to defrost.

Yes, but make I usually defrost for a while. Just always make sure you bake on a cookie sheet. I have used mine over and over.

No, it's just an electric freezer with a plug in cord, but it works very well!

Yes - it is plugged into a standard outlet. It works very well, and although I've had it for some time, it doesn't really need defrosting.

Technically the answer is no. Because the cooler isn't a freezer the inside temperature will be higher than a freezer. But with that said, this will keep things cold for a long time. I brought this to the desert once and after sitting in the sun for days there was still some ice left, no much ice, but impressive none the less.

It defrosts well. There are different options you can select, such as a timed defrost or how many pounds you are trying to defrost. The microwave will select the proper time for you. I have been satisfied with the way it defrosts.

You're fine. I must have missed that in my instructions. I put mine directly into the freezer and have had no issues. As a matter of fact, as I go thru the summer, the thing lives in the freezer so I can make Italian ice or sorbet any time I want.

Mine sits on the carpet and had not gotten it wet. It is only a fridge so no need to defrost. I've had it for 6 months and I love it!

The frig doesn't have a pan, and WILL NOT leak any water onto the carpet, unless it is unplugged from power for extended time and frost had formed. There is little or no frost inside the frig, depending on the temp control dial position. Anything above mid point will likely freeze most content. Suggest to put to dial to about a 1/2 or slightly lower for no or minimized frost. There is no auto defrost.

The freezer bowl DOES come with it and YES, put the bowl in your own freezer before using it. The first time I used my machine I made sure the freezer bowl had been in the freezer overnight so that it would be as cold as possible.

No, don't believe it does. It never has frozen anything though. It comes with an AC adapter so you can plug it in to cool down. I recommend doing this because it doesn't get cool all that quickly. It also takes up a fair amount of space in your vehicle.

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

It's got a very small freezer -- about 9 by 3 inches and about 10" deep. It came with a small ice tray. For my purposes (beer fridge) it serves well, but the freezer is full of frost right now because I don't defrost it very often and don't need it. If you need a frozen compartment look elsewhere -- Larry

It is not frost free. You need to defrost it every 6 months to a year. It's a great mini fridge though!

Yes it does have a door and so far the freezer has not built up a pile of ice around the exterior.

No, most is just a refrigerator. Very small freezer section. It doesn't have an option to be only freeze or only refrigerator.

There is no freezer. However, the cooling tubing is vertical along the inner back wall and it is still possible that that could frost over. As an automatic feature, when the compressor cycles off, the frost melts, runoff is captured in a trough and drains through a hole at the base of the inner back wall to an evaporation tray below the compressor. Once you get your temp set to your satisfaction, just check every so often that the drain hole isn't plugged by debris or whatever.
