Defrosting isn't bad.....the '53 Norge in my kitchen builds it up fast in the summer due to the humidity, and it creates a huge chunk about 4" thick in the one back corner.

With the fridge emptied, I just get a hammer and thin bladed screwdriver and carefully cleave the ice like the Hope diamond. It comes out in big chunks, and I chuck it on the back grass. After wiping, cleaning, and putting the food back in, the whole process takes about a half an hour 2-3 times per year. Not terrible.
