Our Top 10 best selling top mount fridges in Australia 2025
Your shortcut to finding the perfect top mount fridge.
Top mount fridges remain a popular choice in many Aussie homes
If you're in the market for a fridge, you've probably noticed top mount models are still going strong. These are the traditional fridge freezers with the freezer compartment sitting at the top - a classic design that's stuck around for good reason. The main appeal? That freezer space is right at eye level, so no bending down to grab ice or frozen goods. Sure, you'll still need to crouch for those crisper drawers at the bottom of the fridge, but if you're not a big freezer user and prefer easy access to your frozen essentials, a top mount can be a smart choice.
Top mounts are also typically more compact than bottom mount and French door fridges, making them ideal for smaller kitchens, apartments, or households that don't need massive storage. We've rounded up 10 of our most popular top mount fridges available in Australia right now - from budget-friendly models ideal for one, to spacious family-sized options - to help you find the right fit for your needs.

Trending top mount fridges at a glance
Total Volume: The most common total capacity across our top sellers is 200-250L, perfect for singles, couples, or small families. Mid-range options sit between 250-350L, while the CHiQ 515L model stands out as the largest on our list, offering serious storage for bigger households.
Energy Star Rating: Energy efficiency is strong across the board. Five models achieve an impressive 5-star energy rating (all CHiQ models), while three others score 4 to 4.5 stars. The Seiki and Westinghouse models sit at 3 to 3.5 stars, which is still respectable for their price points.
Customer Rating: Shoppers are clearly happy with these fridges. Most models score between 4.6 and 4.9 out of 5, with the Westinghouse earning a perfect 5.0 rating (though from a smaller sample). These high ratings reflect solid performance and reliability across different brands and price ranges.
Brand: CHiQ dominates the list with four models, showcasing their popularity in the Australian market. Hisense follows with two models, while Haier, Seiki, LG, and Westinghouse each contribute one model. This spread shows healthy competition across budget and mid-range segments.
Colour/Finish: White is the most popular finish, appearing on six models – a timeless choice that suits most kitchens. Stainless steel or metallic finishes (including silver and black steel) feature on four models, offering a more contemporary look. Design features like recessed handles appear on several models for a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Warranty: Most manufacturers offer 2-3 year warranties on parts and labour. CHiQ stands out by including a 10-year warranty on the compressor (parts only), while LG offers similar long-term compressor coverage. Seiki has the shortest warranty at just 1 year, reflecting its budget positioning.
Key Features: Frost-free technology appears on nearly every model, eliminating manual defrosting hassles. LED lighting is universal, providing energy-efficient visibility. Multi-air flow systems (or similar technology) feature on most models for even cooling. Reversible doors appear on eight models, offering installation flexibility. Inverter technology is common, delivering quieter operation and better energy efficiency. Additional features like humidity-controlled crispers, door alarms, and ice makers vary by model and price point.
Price: Four models fall into the budget-friendly $ bracket (under $650), making them very accessible entry points. Three models sit in the mid-range $$ category ($700-$950), while three fall into the higher price $$$ range ($1,000+). It's worth noting, however, that far more expensive top mount fridges are available: these price categories are in relation only to the models on this list. In fact, with the highest priced model having an RRP of under $1,300, all of the fridges on this list are relatively modestly priced.
NOTE: The prices shown are according to Recommended Retail Price (RRP), but Appliances Online sells top mount fridges at below RRP when possible, so just click the link for each model to see Appliances Online's price.
