American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers are a fantastic kitchen accessory, offering lots of space to store drinks and food. They're typically taller than normal UK designs, making them a fantastic choice for kitchens with open spaces.

Ice and water dispensers are offered in a variety of models, so you can always have a refreshing drink at the go. Plumbed-in options connect straight to your water supply, while designs that are not plumbed use an integral tank you can refill in a snap.

They're big

A large American fridge freezer is an impressive machine. These freezers are usually wider than standard freestanding models (up to 85cm in average) and feature two long doors that are the size of a cupboard. They can contain 390 litres. That's enough to hold 20 supermarket carrier bags of food items!

They also have numerous features that will help keep your food cool and fresh for longer. Look out for advanced air circulation systems to ensure a consistent temperature, automatic defrost technology and door-mounted water and Ice dispensers.

Our affordable American Freezer Fridge refrigerator freezers have an A-rated energy efficiency rating This means they're excellent value and will lower the amount you pay for. They're also affordable to buy with flexible payment options like Klarna and PayPal Credit available.

Remember that these fridge freezers can be large, therefore be cautious when weighing up. Also, don't forget to include the width of your front entrance and your internal doors. It may be difficult to obtain one delivered in the first place, so ensure you are able to fit it into the space prior to buying. If you're worried about access to it, some models have a mini bar door that folds down for easy access, but does not let cold air escape. This feature is available on a few of our lesser-priced brands like Hisense, Haier and Hotpoint.

It's bold

Unlike the tall, upright fridge freezers the majority of us are used to, American-style models have two doors which open from the center outwards. They're often referred as side-by-side fridge freezers in the UK but some American-style fridge-freezers have the fridge above, and an open freezer drawer below (these are generally referred to as French door designs).

These fridge freezers come with a variety of useful features in addition to their dimensions. Be sure to look for things like a door-mounted water and ice dispenser, which will keep your drinks chilled and hydrated, without taking up precious 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 place to start is around the C-E mark.

Brand lovers should examine Siemens IQ 700 KA92DHXFP. It is available in a striking matte-black finish. It offers a large interior'meal space with 540 litres divided into 173 litres for the fridge and 367 litres for the freezer. This model also has an impressive energy efficiency and an A+++ rating thanks to the Inverter Linear Compressor. There's also a handy Ice maker built into the door and LED lighting that will help to find what you're seeking. It's also made to be quiet and has the Quiet Mark certification, so it's ideal for open-plan living spaces.

It's 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 size - American models are larger with doors that are full length and double in size. They're a great choice for families that like to shop for food to reduce shopping trips and also for large family meals or Christmas celebrations.

In addition to their huge storage capacity, American fridge freezers also appear elegant, with sleek finishes and smart technology. They are available in a variety of colors including crisp white, modern silver, and sophisticated black to complement your kitchen's color scheme. You can find models with filters and ice dispensers that provide instant cold drinks and ice cubes. Some models feature zones that can be converted from fridge to freezer, for example for storing leftovers or food for a party.

One thing to bear in mind when buying American fridge freezers is that they tend to be quite heavy so you'll need a strong helping hand to move them in your kitchen. It is essential that the doors are able to fully open, so that it is easy to access them. Many come with smart features, for instance OptimalFresh boxes that can be set at two different temperatures that can be adapted to different kinds of food items, or Dual Cooling, which stops the dry air inside the freezer from drying frozen items and prevents smells from spreading.

It's practical

American fridge freezers are distinguished by their long, cupboard-style doors that sit above the freezer section. They create a focal point in your kitchen by displaying this unique design. Models that have an integrated ice maker and cold water dispenser can add a touch luxury.

They can be plumbed in or non-plumbed to suit your lifestyle and home and come with an array of features that make them more useful. This includes Total No Frost technology that prevents the accumulation of ice and means you'll never need to manually defrost the appliance again, and LED displays that allow simple temperature control.

There are plenty of additional storage options for these models, too, including deep pockets for milk bottles and juice bottles. You can also pick models with a convertible zone, which lets you change the fridge into a freezer as needed. If you want to make your life easier go for a non-plumbed model that has an internal reservoir, so you can refill it from the tap and enjoy clean pure water that has been filtered right from the dispenser.

The refrigerator freezers come with the capacity of 390 litres, which is sufficient to store 33 shopping bags. They are the ideal choice for anyone looking to add more design and space to their home. Comet provides a wide selection of models made by reliable household brands and trusted brands with finishes that suit any interior design scheme.
