I can't speak for the brand or the vendor but they look interesting...even if I would probably get frost free.

It's small but pricey - primarily because it's designed for outdoor use and can fit under a cabinet. For the same money you can get a 13.7 cf model: http://www.sears.com/kenmore-13.7-cu-ft-upright-freezer-white/p-04628432000P?prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7

FYI, brand matters little, so shop by features and price. Almost all freezers are made by Frigidare for everyone including kenmore and whirlpool.

When look at the reviews it is clear that Defrost refrigerators can be real headache when there control knob showed some odd behaviors. There are benefits too; but i always prefer to used simple appliances.
