fridges american style Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers have plenty of space to store food and drinks. They're generally taller than regular UK designs, making them a great option 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 straight to the main water supply, whereas non-plumbed models have an integrated tank that you can refill in a snap.

They're huge

A typical American fridge freezer is a massive beast. They're typically wider than freestanding models (up to 85cm in average) and come with two doors that are large enough for a cupboard. They can hold 390 litres, enough to hold 20 grocery bags full of food items!

They also have various other features that will help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Be on the lookout for features like automated defrost and advanced air circulation technology to keep the same temperature, and door mounted dispensers for water and ice.

Our low-cost American fridge freezers are equipped with an A-rated energy efficiency rating that means they're great value and will reduce the cost of your energy bills. They are also easy to purchase, thanks to flexible payment options like Klarna or PayPal Credit.

Be aware that refrigerator freezers can be bulky, therefore be cautious when weighing up. Don't forget to include the width of your front entrance and internal doors. It may be difficult to get one delivered to your home, so make sure you can accommodate it in the space before purchasing. If you're worried about accessibility to the unit, some models come with a mini bar door that folds down to allow easy reach without letting cold air escape. This feature is available on a few of our lesser-priced brands such as Hisense, Haier and Hotpoint.

They're bold

American Freezer fridge-style refrigerator freezers have two doors that swing outwards from the middle. In the UK they are sometimes called side-by-side fridge freezers. However, some American-style models have refrigerators on top and a freezer drawer below.

As well as their size, refrigerator freezers are often packed with useful features. Look out for things like a door-mounted water and ice dispenser, which will keep your drinks cold and hydrated, without taking up kitchen counter space, and an energy efficiency rating. It's now much harder to find an A+fridge-freezer that is rated ++ since the new, more stringent system took effect in 2021, however a good point to begin is around the C-E mark.

Brand lovers may want to consider the Siemens IQ700 model, KA92DHXFP. It is stunning matte black and boasts plenty of'meal estate' inside' with room for more than 540 litres. It is split into 173 litres of fridge space and 367 litres of freezer. This model comes with an A+energy rating of ++, thanks to its Inverter Linear compressor. Additionally, it has a door-mounted ice maker as well as LED lighting to help find what you're looking for. It's also designed to be quiet with a Quiet Mark certification, so it's ideal for open-plan living spaces.

They're stylish

The primary difference between an American fridge freezer and the traditional larder-style fridge freezers that we have here in the UK is size. American models are larger, with full length double doors. They're a great option for families who like to stock up on food for a less stressful shopping experience as well as for large family meals or Christmas gatherings.

American fridge freezers are not just big in size, but they are also stylish with their sleek finishes and advanced technology. They come in a variety of colours including crisp white, modern silver and sophisticated black to complement your kitchen's colour scheme. There are models that come with water dispensers with filtered ice, which offer instant cold drinks and frozen cubes. Some also have flexible zones that can be converted from a freezer to fridge, for instance for storing leftovers or food for a party.

You'll need a strong hand to lift them into your kitchen. You'll also have to ensure that the doors are able to open fully to allow them to be accessed easily. Many come with smart features, such as OptimalFresh boxes, which can be set to two different temperatures that can be adapted to different food types, or Dual Cooling, which keeps the dry air inside the freezer from dehydrating frozen items and prevents odors from spreading.

It's practical

With long, cupboard-style doors that are situated above a freezer section, American fridge freezers have an appealing design and create an attractive focal point within your kitchen. They can also add a touch of luxury, with models available with an ice maker and a cold water dispenser integrated into the door.

A majority of these appliances are available with or without plumbing to fit your lifestyle and home. They also have a variety of useful features that make them more effective. Total No Frost technology eliminates ice, and you'll never have to defrost the appliance manually ever again. LED displays make it possible for easy temperature control.

There are plenty of additional storage options that these models offer also, such as deep pockets for milk bottles and juice bottles. You can also select the model with a convertible zone. This allows you to convert the freezer into a fridge when needed. Choose a model with an internal reservoir that isn't plumbed. You can refill the reservoir with water from your faucet, and drink pure, filtered water straight from the dispenser.

The fridge freezers are available with a capacity of 390 litres, which is enough to hold 33 shopping bags. They are a great choice for anyone looking to add more style and space to their home.
