To defrost a freezer easily, try this: First, turn if off or unplug. Remove the contents. Next, blow on the ice with a hairdryer, one small section at a time. The ice will usually melt quickly and you can remove a large chunk of it before it turns to water. Use a clean dust pan to scoop ice loose and dump. Cuts your time in half or better.
I use a hair dryer too, and also lay a bath towel on each shelf. As I'm melting off the top layer of ice, it falls on the towel, making the cleanup less messy. The heat also starts melting the rest of the ice so the rest of the shelves are easy.
