Beautiful!

I would love that fridge even though it's not frost free.  I wish they showed pictures of the freezer section.  It should be just as easy to defrost as the top mount freezer on my '57 Combo -- except for the stooping.

Manuel Defrost GE Roll-Out Bottom Freezers

Were much hated when they had to be defrosted, you really had to lift the entire drawer and door out to get in there to defrost and dry the whole thing out.

And if you let the frost build up too much the drawer would have problems closing or even opening.

A lot of these otherwise cool refs were ditched early because of the problems with frost build-up and the PITA defrosting, and they differently often hit the crusher when the poor durability compressors gave up in 5-10 years.

I've considered the testimonials I've read here in the past about the PITA these bottom mount models can be when frost has built up enough to interfere with the drawer mechanism.  To me, that would be an indicator that defrosting is in order. 

 

Right now, I just wait until the frost builds up on the freezer ceiling so much that when adding or extracting contents, the frost gets scraped and falls to the freezer floor.  My '57 top mount went for nearly a year before I defrosted this past September.  For sure a bottom mount model would need to have a good gasket on the freezer drawer or it would indeed be a major high-maintenance PITA.
