Appliances without charge and almost nothing showing at first (8)

'appliances' is the definition.
(freezer is a kind of appliance)

'without charge and almost nothing showing at first' is the wordplay.
'without charge' becomes 'free' (sold at no cost).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'nothing' becomes 'zero' (synonyms).
'showing at first' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'zero' with its final letter taken away is 'zer'.
'free'+'zer'+'s'='FREEZERS'
