October 30, 2025-4 min read
Want to get in on the perks of bulk buying groceries? Too easy! But if your kitchen fridge-freezer is already packing a shelf-full, it might be wise to invest in a second cheap freezer. With all that extra space to fill with butcher-shop bargains and batch cooking, you can put your weekly grocery spend, and trips to the store, on ice ‒ literally!
Whether you have room for a slim, upright freezer in your butler’s pantry or you’d rather stash a cheap chest freezer in the garage, The Good Guys have an affordable, hardworking and good-looking option to suit your home and budget. Here’s all the info you need to find the best value freezer.
Are Cheap Freezers Good?
You bet! There are many budget and mid-range freezers that boast the latest technology, so it pays to do your homework before you buy. “Without a doubt, if you’re running a second freezer you need it to be energy-efficient and some of the best entry-level freezers are just that,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer ‒ Refrigeration & Laundry. “Look for tech like high-efficiency compressors and evaporators, an adjustable thermostat and defrost settings to help with long term running costs.”
Who Makes The Best Cheap Chest Freezer?
Value brands like Hisense, CHiQ and Westinghouse sell affordable chest freezers packed with space-saving and energy-saving features.
Best-in-class budget models from Hisense and CHiQ have clever, switchable systems, so you can convert them to a fridge if needed. That’s a huge win if you love entertaining and occasionally need the extra fridge space for drinks, nibbles and leftovers.
“If you’re running a second freezer you need it to be efficient and some of the best entry-level freezers are just that.”
“Some brands like Westinghouse have budget-buy standouts with Quick Chill and Power Off functions ‒ both options that you’d normally expect to find in high-end freezers,” says Peter.
“Quick Chill lets you snap-freeze bulk buys ‒ or your weekend catch ‒ to instantly lock in the freshness. And if you’re heading away for the weekend and want to power down to help save energy.”
The other must-have in a cavernous, top-opening chest freezer is removable wire baskets and racks for organising and finding meals quickly.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Upright Freezers?
Look for brands like Hisense, CHiQ and Westinghouse who all deliver the goods when it comes to best value upright freezers.
If you only need a small freezer for extra storage, then why spend big on a large capacity model? Westinghouse’s 86L freezer has three full-width freezer bins and an 4.5 star energy rating. And CHiQ does a petite 85L model if you have a smaller space.
“If you’re just looking for a bit more freezer space to keep bait for your next fishing trip or to prepare for having family over for gatherings, you’ll find anything around 80L is plenty of space,” says Peter. “Plus, with the added bonus of reversible doors, these smaller, more affordable freezers fit snug in your garage, cellar or the corner of your back deck for easy access – without getting in the way.”
Need something bigger for your growing or busy household? The Hisense 155L upright freezer has shelving and drawers to fit all of your bulk buys, homemade soups and casseroles.
