Basic self-defrost upright freezer

*Est. $400 Compare Prices

Though smaller than most upright freezers, owners say the 12.1-cubic-foot Frigidaire FFU12F2HW freezer has plenty of space and is easier to organize than a chest freezer. It's a solid performer in tests, and like most… upright models, it has automatic defrost, interior lighting, and several shelves. Owners say the door closes securely and the freezer does a good job keeping food cold, but some think it makes too much noise. The Frigidaire is not Energy Star-rated and it doesn't include a temperature alarm. This freezer has a one-year warranty.

Midsize chest freezer

Kenmore 16542

*Est. $400 Compare Prices

Chest freezers offer a larger storage capacity for the price, and they're quieter and more energy-efficient than upright models. We found some good recommendations for the 14.8-cubic-foot Kenmore 16542, which includes a… keyed lock -- an important safety feature for families with small children. The Kenmore also includes interior and power indicator lights, but it doesn't have a temperature alarm. It is Energy Star-rated. Like almost all chest freezers, this unit must be manually defrosted. The Kenmore 16542 comes with a one-year warranty.

Compact chest freezer

Kenmore 16922

*Est. $280 Compare Prices

If your storage needs are smaller or you don't have a lot of extra space, the 8.8-cubic-foot Kenmore 16922 is a solid performer in tests and receives excellent owner reviews. This chest freezer offers the same features as… the Kenmore 16542, including a keyed lock, interior light, power-on light and two lift-out baskets, but it isn't Energy Star-rated. However, because of its smaller size, it uses less electricity. The Kenmore 16922 has a one-year warranty.
