American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers provide plenty of storage space for food and drinks. They're often taller than regular UK designs, which makes them a fantastic choice for open-plan kitchens.

Water and ice dispensers are available in many models, allowing you to always have a refreshing drink at the table. The models with plumbed-in connections connect directly to the main water supply, while the non-plumbed models use an integral tank that is able to be replenished easily.

Keep in mind that fridge freezers are heavy, so be cautious when measuring up. Don't forget to consider the dimensions of your front doorway and the internal doors. Getting one delivered to your residence can also be tricky so ensure you are able to get it into the space you want before you buy. Some models come with a mini-bar door that can be folded down to allow for easier access and not let cold air escape. This feature is available in some of our lower-end brands, such as Hisense Haier and Hotpoint.

They're bold

As opposed to the tall and upright fridge freezers that most of us are familiar with, American models come with two doors that swing from the center outwards. They're sometimes referred to as side by side fridge freezers in the UK but certain American-style fridge freezers have a fridge above, and an opening freezer drawer below (these are usually referred to as French door models).

The fridge freezers are packed with useful features apart from their size. Be sure to look for things like a door-mounted water and ice dispenser that will keep your drinks cold and hydrated, without taking up counter space, and also an energy efficiency rating. The new system that took effect in 2021 makes it more difficult to find a fridge-freezer with an A++or higher rating. If you're looking for a great starting point, consider the C-E range.
