American Fridges Freezers

slimmest american style fridge freezer fridges and freezers are fashionable additions to any kitchen. They can hold a lot of food so you can stock up and visit the stores less often.

They also have sleek minimalist design. Look for a mini bar door on the fridge that folds down to provide quick access to your cold drinks.

Size

American fridge freezers can make an impact in the kitchen because they are more spacious than their UK counterparts. They are typically freestanding and can reach as high as 91cm. They can also range in size from 70cm to 91cm.

Usually, they come with two doors that are full length, giving you access to both the fridge and freezer. They also usually feature shelves on the doors to make it easy to access items. This design is popular because it offers the full width of storage and allows for easy access to the contents without opening the fridge or freezer more than once.

They also tend to be larger than their UK counterparts, allowing you to store more frozen food items and in reducing shopping trips. With the additional storage space they can be ideal for large family meals and planning a party.

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

When choosing a new American refrigerator freezer, take the time to measure your space carefully. Take into consideration not just the width but also the height to ensure you can get it in without hitting doors or cabinets during opening. If you purchase one that is plumbed, you will need to make sure it can be placed near a water source.

Style

The American-style fridge freezer is a generic term used to describe the larger models that are popular with large families. They typically come with double doors that open to the size of a cupboard. This classic design lets you access your food at a glance without opening the entire appliance. It allows you to save energy by only opening one door at a given time and minimising cold air loss and thereby reducing the cost of energy.

If you have a large family to feed or prefer to cook in batches, check out for models with more storage capacity and a variety of useful features such as no-frost technology and multi-flow settings. A lot of the American-style models we have include a handy Ice dispenser that makes it easier for everyone to drink a glass of chilled water.

A few of the larger models also feature an open-air zone which you can use as an additional refrigerator compartment or freezer space. This allows you to have the flexibility you require to accommodate your growing family and the contents of your daily shopping.

The majority of the models in our selection are freestanding and can be positioned as a striking statement piece or moved back into a row of kitchen units for an edgier look. But be aware that these units can be larger than traditional fridge freezers and you'll need to examine your hallways and doors to ensure that you can bring it into your home easily.

Stores

If you have a large household to feed, look for American fridge freezers that have more than 500 litres of storage capacity. That's enough room to fit about 40 bags of shopping in!

Find models with glass panels that give you an eye view of your food without opening the door. This way you can look at what's in your fridge prior to heading out for a shopping spree - no more not having that essential block of cheese! You can also pick fridge freezers with mini bar doors that fold down - perfect for opening your beer. Certain models have a water, ice and crushed ice dispenser too. You can enjoy chilled drinks at any time without the need for an additional jug. They're easy to clean.

Frost-free or no-frost technology helps prolong the life span of your appliance by preventing build-ups that can impact on functionality. It also helps you reduce time and effort since you'll have to defrost your refrigerator freezer less often than standard models.

Many of our models have a holiday mode, which reduces the amount of energy the fridge consumes while you're away. Be sure to empty the freezer before you leave! We also have models with energy efficiency ratings of A or better. This is good for the environment and will keep your electricity costs down.

Energy

The fact that American fridge-freezers are larger than UK models doesn't mean they're more expensive to run. Modern manufacturing techniques, and the demands of energy efficiency from customers, mean that these large appliances consume less power than you think.

The bigger the fridge freezer the higher the operating expenses. However, this isn't always scenario. The compressor is often located near a large vertical freezer compartment. This causes it to quickly heat up and work harder to keep the items cold.

However, this doesn't have to be the case, and you can choose from a selection of American fridge freezers that are A+ energy rated with low levels of noise too. You should look for features that can reduce your food bills including an airflow system that prevents frost build-up and fancy drawers with 0@ for fruit and vegetables for maximum longevity and freshness.

It's important to keep in mind that these kitchen appliances can be heavy too so you'll need to ensure that they can pass through the front and interior doors during delivery, particularly if you're having it delivered up to the top of a flat. If you're concerned then you should ask the retailer if they are able to take off (and put back in place) the fridge freezer doors when they deliver it, or employ a handyman to do it for you.
