  We find it so. Sometimes we do an emergency full defrost after a spell
  of particularly hot and humid weather.  The freezer works noticeably
  better immediately afterwards.

  It sounds OK to me, Ack. And I find those perforated veggie bags do a
  great job of preventing my veggies from drying out (or alternately,
  from rotting in sealed bags) in the frost free appliances. That saves
  me a bit of money, keeps my vegetables crisper longer, and the bags
  are washable and reuseable.
  Sorry I'm late with this reply - computer troubles. :-(
