If the freezer compartment in your refrigerator is insufficient for storing all of your frozen goods, you like to shop in bulk, or you want to preserve garden produce, you need a separate, standalone freezer. We investigated freezers from the leading appliance brands, weighing capacity, temperature controls, energy efficiency, and value.
The Frigidaire 14.8-cubic-foot Chest Freezer is our top overall pick, thanks to its spacious design, electronic temperature alarm, and safety lock feature. The GE 14.1-cubic-foot Upright Freezer is our favorite upright freezer because it has shelves and slide-out drawers, auto-close doors, and frost-free operation.
