Comment summary: Defraggler receives mixed feedback, with some users praising its features like shutting down the computer post-defrag and file-specific defragging. However, concerns about installation issues, performance, and speed compared to alternatives like Auslogics are noted. Some view recent changes negatively, considering it as bloatware. While it offers certain advantages, the installation process and comparative slowness are highlighted as drawbacks.

Defrag while idle and you can zero in to specific files.

Installer version can defrag the system.

By setting up defrag for system boot (not available in portable Defraggler). has improved all my PCs performance considerably
Windows is not available during this deep defrag, but in my experience well worth the wait.
Can be configured to shut down after defrag completed, so run it an night About once each year is enough

August 2019 This program has been turned into a cash cow by the new owners.
Be very cautious when installing, always do a custom install.

It works. Compared to Auslogic it's super slow, that's why only 3 stars.

I accidentally used this today. Auslogics is GINORMOUSLY faster. It had been a long time since I defragged and I had kept Defraggler as a back check to Auslogics and forgot my primary program, but soon I remembered. Defraggler is a sweet, but painfully slow option.

Spamware, malware, bundleware, bloatedware, or whatever you want to call it, better check for alternatives.

Scamware. Starts downloading & Installing Google Chrome without any option to opt out as soon as you start the installer.

You do not need this software unless your primary drive is a disk

SDDs do not benefit

What is Defraggler?

It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. You can defrag only if the computer is idle for a definable time, so Defraggler does not slow down the computer if you work on more important tasks. Defraggler also lets you defragment multiple drives on the same PC, using different schedules. Defraggler uses the Windows Task Scheduler to enable you to set it for future defragging. Simply tell it how often you want it to defrag a drive (once, daily, weekly or monthly). Then it will go ahead on its own, tirelessly defragging your computer whenever you need it to. You can defragment your main C: drive every night, and your external D: hard drive every week. It's up to you. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool! An original portable version exists, but it is not easy to find: http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download .
