Getting you more for less! We’ve got your back with cheap fridges that deliver the goods in terms of energy efficiency (for ongoing savings), as well as all the features and functionality you need to keep your groceries fresh, your cocktails iced and your kitchen on-trend.

Ready to go shopping? Here are the best value fridges to buy in 2024.

Are Cheap Fridges Good?

Of course they are, as long as you buy right. “The best value fridge is one that costs you less but still serves up energy savings, the ideal capacity for your household, and smart features to suit your needs and lifestyle,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Refrigeration. “If you do your homework, you can find an affordable fridge with next-gen tech that boosts the quality and longevity of your food and the appeal of your kitchen.”

“The best value fridge is one that costs you less but still serves up energy savings, the ideal capacity for your household, and smart features to suit your needs and lifestyle.”

Who Makes The Best Cheap Top Mount Or Bottom Mount Fridge?

The cheapest to buy and the cheapest to run, a top mount or bottom mount fridge is a smart buy for apartment living where space is tighter, or if you are kitting out your first place on a budget.

Living solo or as a perfect pair? “One to two people will only need a fridge with a capacity of 200 to 400 litres, and CHiQ are the masters at small but mighty. Even their entry-level fridge-freezer has an on-trend black finish, frost-free technology and a 4-star energy rating,” says Peter.

For families who need to fit more into their fridge, Hisense makes a knockout cheap top mount fridge. Its budget range flaunts adjustable glass shelving to accommodate every feast. A water dispenser on the door means you can refuel while keeping the chill in, and inverter technology helps the fridge hold a consistent temperature for better freshness and energy efficiency.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Side By Side Fridge?

With a freezer on the left and a fridge on the right, space is the big plus here. “Because side by side fridges have a bigger internal cavity to keep cold, it’s wise to look for a model with surround cooling that chills from the front and back. More food often means more spills, so easy-clean glass shelving is another feature to look for,” says Peter.

Westinghouse makes some of the best budget-friendly fridges that deliver the above features, while also offering a Quick Chill function, perfect for your farmers market-fresh fruit and veg. This feature cools food fast to keep it fresher longer.

And say goodbye to stinky fridges, thanks to LG and its Pure N Fresh technology. It reduces fridge odours with a fan-forced carbon deodoriser. Bring on seafood Sundays!

Who Makes The Best Cheap French Door Fridge?

For much less than you’d expect to pay, you’ll get a four-door fridge-freezer with six freezer drawers and humidity-controlled vegetable compartments to lock in moisture, preserving fresh fruit and veg for longer.

Samsung is renowned for its smart and stylish French door fridges, so you might be surprised to learn how affordable they really are.
