They usually come with two doors that are full length giving you access to the fridge as well as freezer, with doors that often have shelves for storage that make it easy to access items.

These freezers are also larger than their UK counterparts and allow you to store more frozen food. This helps to reduce the amount of trips to the store. With the added storage space, they are a great option for large family meals as well as planning parties.

Some models come with frost-free technology that helps minimise manual defrosting and maintain their efficiency for longer. They may also include features such as water and ice dispensers that provide chilled drinks upon demand.

When choosing a new American fridge freezer take the time to measure your space carefully. Think about not only the size but also the height, making sure you are able to fit it inside and not hit any cabinets or doors when opening.

Energy

The fact that American fridge-freezers are more powerful than UK models doesn't mean that they cost more to run. Modern manufacturing techniques, as well as energy efficiency demands by customers make these large appliances use less electricity than you may think.

The bigger the fridge freezer the higher the operating expenses. But this isn't the case. It's usually due to compressor placement which sits close to an even larger vertical freezer compartment. It gets hot fast, meaning it has to work harder to keep things suitably chilled.

However, this doesn't have to be the case, and you can choose from a range of American fridge freezers that are A+ energy-rated with low noise levels as well. You can also look for additional features that will cut down on your grocery bill including air circulation that stops the build-up of frost and fancy fruit and vegetable drawers to ensure that they are fresh and long-lasting.

Remember that large kitchen appliances are typically quite heavy. It is important to make sure they can fit through the front and internal doors upon delivery, especially when it's being delivered to an upper-floor apartment. If you're concerned it's best to inquire with the retailer if they're able take off (and reattach) the doors to the fridge freezer after they have delivered it or get a handyman in to do it for you.
