Size

American fridge freezers are bigger than their UK counterparts, and they make a statement in any kitchen. They typically are freestanding models, and be as large as 70cm to over 91cm wide and with their massive capacity these fridges can meet the needs of larger families.

They typically come with two doors that are full length that allow access to the fridge and freezer, usually with door shelves for storage that make it easy to access items. This classic design is popular with customers due to its full width storage space and eye level access to contents without having to open the freezer or fridge many times, thereby saving energy.

They also tend to be larger than their UK counterparts, allowing you to fit in more frozen foods and in reducing shopping trips. The additional storage space makes them an ideal option for large family dinners and planning parties.

Some models have frost-free technology which helps to minimize manual defrosting and preserve their performance for a longer time. They can include features like water and ice dispensers to make chilled drinks available on demand.

Take measurements of your space prior to purchasing the latest American refrigerator freezer. You should also take into consideration the height to ensure you are able to fit it in the space and also to ensure that it doesn't impact any doors or cabinets when opening. If you're buying a model that is plumbed in, remember that you'll need to ensure that it is located near an water supply.

Style

The 'American-style fridge freezer' is a broad term that refers to the large models popular with larger families that typically feature double doors that open at the size of a cupboard. This classic design allows you to reach your food items at eye level without opening the whole appliance, allowing you to save energy by opening just one door at a time and reducing the loss of cold air and thereby reducing your energy costs.

If you have a large family to feed or prefer to batch-cook, look out for models that offer extra storage capacity and plenty of useful features such as no-frost technology, multi-flow settings and so on. Many of the American-style models we stock also include a handy ice dispenser that makes it easier for everyone to enjoy a glass of chilled water.

Some of the larger models also have convertible zones which you can use as an extra fridge compartment or a freezer space. This allows you to have the flexibility you require to accommodate your growing family as well as the contents of your daily shopping.

The majority of our models are freestanding, frydge and can be placed as a fashionable piece of furniture or pushed into bank kitchen units to give a sleeker appearance. Be aware that these appliances tend to be larger than conventional refrigerator freezers, so you'll want to be sure that you are able to integrate them into your home.

Storage

If you have a large family to feed, American fridge freezers that can hold more than 500 litres are ideal. This is enough room to accommodate 40 shopping bags!

Check out models with glass panels which give you an eye view of your food items without opening the door. This way, you can see what's inside before going out to shop - no more not having that essential block of cheese! There are fridge freezers equipped with mini-bar doors which can be folded out, perfect for opening your beer. Certain models have water, ice and crushed ice dispensers too. This lets you have chilled drinks on hand, without the need for a separate container. They are also easy to clean.

Frost-free technology or no frost will extend the longevity of your appliance. It stops the build-up of dust that can impact the functioning of your appliance. It also helps save time and effort since you'll need to defrost less frequently than standard refrigerator freezers.

A lot of our models come with a holiday mode, which reduces the amount of energy that your fridge makes use of while you're away. Be sure to empty the freezer before you leave! Our selection includes models that have an energy efficiency rating of A or better. This is good for the environment and will help keep your electricity bills at a minimum.

Energy

Although American fridge freezers can take up larger capacities than UK models, it doesn't mean they cost a fortune to run. Modern manufacturing techniques, as well as the demands of energy efficiency from customers have meant that these huge appliances consume less power than you might think.

The larger the fridge freezer the higher the operating costs. But this isn't always the case. The compressor is often located close to a large vertical freezer compartment. This causes it to get hot and make it harder to keep the items cool.

However, this doesn't have to be the case and you can choose from a variety of American refrigerator freezers that are A+ energy-rated with low noise levels as well. Look for features that cut down on your food expenses like a full air flow to prevent the accumulation of frost and fancy drawers with 0@ for fruit and vegetables to ensure long-lasting freshness.

It's important to keep in mind that these kitchen appliances can be quite heavy, so you'll need to check they can pass through front and internal doorways when they are delivered, especially when you're having it delivered up to a top floor flat. If you're concerned then you should ask the retailer if they're able to remove (and put back in place) the fridge freezer doors after they have delivered it or get a handyman in to do it for you.
