A:Answer I bought two, a 13 cu. ft and a 20 cu. ft, Frigidaire upright freezers from Best Buy. Both specifically stated 'Garage Ready, Frost Free.' And this is what I specifically needed and searched for. It it doesn't state in the description Frost Free, or in your case 'Manual Defrost, it isn't. When in doubt, contact Customer Support and ask them. When in doubt, check it out.
Hope this was helpful.
