  Not a bad price but non-frost free freezers are a bit of a pain.

    I would luv a frost free also - but my wallet says “no” on both purchase price and running costs. In a way, no frost free is probably a blessing in disguise as it makes you clean out the freezer of “forgotten” food. During my young years living at home, I remember finding a bag of meat that had extensive frost bite and had a freezer smell after cooking it…I would have guessed that the forgotten bag of meat was at least 1-2 years old…yuck.

  How are these Kogan brand freezers? They are significantly cheaper than those better-known brands e.g. Westinghouse.

    Probably shit. I'd never buy a Kogan appliance.

      Probably just as crap as any other budget freezer at this price point…this unit is for a certain niche market, I suppose… I mean, if you are gonna fork out for a brand name freezer, you may as well buy a whole new fridge/freezer.

  It is still necessary for hoarding some freezer foods considering current situation? after all Australia is handling the epidemic proudly good

    I just want one so I have to do less trips for grocery epidemic or not I just want convenience.

    I just checked my current freezer space and it is only 103L which is not enough for 3 people.. feels like a lot less than it is advertised so might have to consider that when buying a new dedicated freezer.

    Fridge is fine there is like 339L in the fridge space which is enough for our household as only one person really uses it to store food after doing a large meal the others myself and the other tenant just use it for small stuff like storing cold drinks and butter which barely take a rack each.

    This is a freezer, not a fridge freezer. Frost-free uses more electricity in a freezer-only format. There’s a reason why this is claimed at using 270kW/year versus about 10-15% more for a similar frost free one (ie. next cheapest is a Hisense 176L frost free at 310kW/year and listed at $598 at the Good Guys with a 3 year warranty).

    I have also googled Aldi’s Sterling branded freezer and about a year ago, it was sold at $299 with 2 year warranty and mixed reviews.

    I stand by my comment that this is the cheapest 172L upright freezer you can buy (although it’s a preorder).

    If you want to compare this to a similar sized frost-free Westinghouse, sure, that’s $929 at the Good Guys and uses 282kW/year. If you can afford to pay that kind of money, you may as well fork out a bit more and buy a new fridge freezer.

      The ALDI’s upright freezer has a capacity of 239L and comes with 3 years warranty. That is much bigger capacity than Kogan's 172L that you listed here. It's less than $300 compared to $450 for Kogan and uses just 211 kWh per year. That is lower than 270 Kw/year for Kogan.

        239L is for the fridge at $299 (Model STR-H239W) and of course it uses less electricity - it’s a fridge.

        The freezer is 182L (Model STR-183W) for $299. Power consumption unknown - I can’t be bothered to find out - The review on this model isn’t very good.

        I think you “should have gone to spec savers”…anyway, whatever floats your boat.

  142L Westinghouse Chest Freezer, $399. 230kW/Year
  https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/westinghouse-142l-chest-freez…

  Yeah it's a tad smaller, but it's a much better brand, cheaper to run, and a well reviewed freezer.
  The chest freezers are a better design anyway. As soon as you open the door on an upright, all that cold air 'falls out' of the freezer. You'll know what I'm talking about the first time you do it. You can feel all the cold air rushing over your feet.
  A chest freezer opens at the top, and the bucket design keeps the cold inside.

    Couldn’t agree more on the cold air escaping bit and the price point - but I think there’s a shortage of freezers in stock at the moment (per Good Guys stores near me) - for the $399 Westinghouse WCM1400WD that you have mentioned.

    As for chest versus upright, it depends on your circumstances with respect to the amount of floor space you have. I live in an apartment with an integrated fridge/freezer and find the freezer compartment always full…which is why a cheap freezer to be used as an “overflow” on a smaller footprint is better for my needs. Upright is also better to access stuff due to the drawers configuration (versus a basket system on the chest freezer).

    Let’s hope Aldi has their 182L upright freezer on special between now and 24th June 2020 (so I can physically have a look) or I’ll be buying the Kogan with my free credits.
