American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers can provide plenty of space to store food and drinks. They're usually taller than standard UK models, making them a fantastic choice for kitchens with open spaces.

Many homes have dispensers for water and ice so that chilled refreshing drinks are always in the fridge. Plumbed-in options connect directly to the mains water supply, while non-plumbed models make use of an integral tank that you can refill quickly.

They're big

A large American fridge freezer is an impressive machine. The typical fridge freezer is larger than a freestanding model (up to 85cm on average) and featuring two long cupboard-sized doors they offer 390 litres of storage space - enough to store 20 grocery carrier bags of shopping!

They also have several features that can help keep your food cool and fresh for longer. Be sure to look for the latest in air circulation to ensure consistent temperature and automatic defrost systems. Also, look for door-mounted water and Ice dispensers.

Our range of low-cost American fridge freezers are energy efficient as well, and have an A-rated or better rating - which means they're a great value for money and American-style fridge freezers will reduce your costs. They are also easy to purchase, thanks to flexible payment options such as Klarna or PayPal Credit.

Don't forget that these fridge-freezers are also quite bulky - therefore, don't forget to take into account the width of your front and back doors when you're measuring. Getting one delivered to your residence can be a challenge so make sure you can fit it in the space you're looking for before you buy. Some models have a mini-bar door that folds down to make it easier to reach without letting cold air escape. This feature is available in a few of our lower-end brands, such as Hisense Haier and Hotpoint.

It's bold

Contrary to the tall, upright fridge freezers the majority of us are familiar with, American-style fridge freezers have two doors that open from the centre outwards. They're often referred to as side by side fridge freezers in the UK, though certain American-style fridge freezers have a fridge above, and a pull-out freezer drawer beneath (these are usually referred to as French door designs).

In addition to their size, these fridge freezers are often packed with useful features. Be sure to look for things like doors that have water and an ice dispenser, which will keep your drinks cool and hydrated without taking up valuable counter space, or an energy efficiency rating. The new system that took effect in 2021 makes it harder to find a fridge freezer with an A++or higher rating. However, if you're looking to find a good starting point, consider the C-E range.

Brand lovers may want to check out the Siemens IQ-700 K92DHXFP, which is stunning matte black and has plenty of interior'meal space' with room for 554 litres, divided into 173 litres of fridge and 367 litres of freezer. This model has an A+++ energy rating thanks to its Inverter Linear compressor. It also has a handy ice maker that is mounted on the door and LED lighting that will help you find what you're searching for. It's also made to be quiet and has the Quiet Mark certification, so it's perfect for open living spaces.

They're stylish

The main distinction between the American fridge freezer and the more traditional larder style fridge freezers we're accustomed to here in the UK is the size. American-style models are significantly larger and have doors that are full length and double in size. They're great for families that like to buy food items in bulk to reduce shopping trips as well as for large family meals or Christmas gatherings.

In addition to their huge storage capacity, American fridge freezers also are stylish, with sleek designs and cutting-edge technology. You can get them in a variety of colors including fresh white, sleek silver and sophisticated black to suit your kitchen's colour scheme. Look out for models with water and ice dispensers that provide refreshing, instant, and filtered cold drinks or ice cubes at the push of a button. Some models come with zones that can be converted from an appliance to a freezer, for example storage of leftovers and food items for parties.

One thing to keep in mind when you are using American fridge freezers is that they tend to be quite heavy so you'll require a steady hand to move them into place in your kitchen. You'll also have to ensure that the doors open completely, so that they can be accessed easily. Many come with intelligent features, for instance OptimalFresh Plus boxes which can be set to two different temperatures for different kinds of food, and Dual Cooling, which prevents dry freezer air from drying your frozen goods and preventing the spread of smells.

It's practical

American fridge freezers are distinguished by their long, cabinet-style doors that are positioned above the freezer section. They make a focal point of your kitchen due to their unique look. They can also add some luxury with models that come with an ice maker and a cold water dispenser built inside the door.

A majority of these appliances are available with or without plumbing depending on your lifestyle and home. They also provide many useful features that make them more effective. Total No Frost technology eliminates ice, and you'll never have to manually defrost an appliance ever again. LED displays enable simple temperature control.

There are plenty of extra storage options with these models also, such as deep pockets for milk and juice bottles. You can also choose an option that has a convertible zone which lets you change the freezer into a fridge at any time. And for even more convenience go for a non-plumbed model that comes with an internal reservoir so that you can refill it with water from your tap and enjoy clean water, filtered and straight from the dispenser.

With a capacity that is typically 390 litres (which is enough to hold 33 bags of groceries), these fridge freezers are the perfect choice for those looking to add a touch of aesthetics and space to their kitchen.
