American Fridges Freezers

They also feature sleek and minimalist design. Check out the mini bar door on the fridge that folds down to provide quick access to your cold drinks.

Size

American fridge freezers can make a real statement in your kitchen, as they are bigger than their UK counterparts. These fridges are usually freestanding and can reach as high as 91cm. They can also range in size from 70cm to 91cm.

They typically come with two doors that are full length that allow access to the fridge as well as freezer, usually with door shelves to store items. This classic design is very popular because it offers full width storage and allows for easy access to the contents of the fridge without opening it or freezer more than once.

They can also be deeper than their UK counterparts, allowing you to fit in more frozen foods and to reduce shopping trips. The additional storage space makes them an ideal option for large family meals and planning parties.

Some models come with frost-free technology, which helps reduce the need for manual defrosting and keep their effectiveness for a longer period of time. They may also include features such as water and ice dispensers to make chilled drinks available upon demand.

When choosing a new American refrigerator freezer, take the time to carefully measure your space. You should also consider the height to ensure you can fit it into the space and to ensure it doesn't impact any doors or cabinets when opening. If you're buying a model that is plumbed in, remember that you'll need to ensure it is placed near a water supply.

Style

The term "American-style refrigerator freezer' is used to describe huge models that are popular with families. These models typically have double doors that extend to the size of the size of a cupboard. This classic design allows you to access your food at eye level without opening the entire appliance. It allows you to save energy by opening only one door at a given time and minimizing the loss of cold air which can help lower your energy consumption.

If you're cooking for a large group of people or want to cook in batches pick models that provide additional storage space as well as useful features, such as no-frost and multi-flow settings. Many of the American models we sell include an efficient ice dispenser to make it easier for everyone to sip a chilled glass of water.

Some models come with a convertible zone, which you can use as an additional freezer compartment or fridge. This gives you the flexibility that you need to accommodate your growing family and the contents of your weekly shopping.

Most of our models are stand-alone, and can be used in a chic piece of furniture or integrated into bank kitchen units to create a more streamlined appearance. But be aware that these units can be larger than traditional fridge freezers and you'll need to determine the dimensions of your hallways and doors to ensure that you can bring it into your home easily.

Stores

If you have a huge household to feed, look for American fridge freezers that have more than 500 litres of storage capacity. This will carry 40 shopping bags!

You should look for models that have glass panels so that you can see your food without having to open the door. You can then look over your food prior to going to the market, and you won't overlook that crucial block of cheese. There are fridge freezers equipped with mini bar doors that fold down to open your bottle of beer. Some models also have an ice dispenser, water dispenser dispenser and crushed ice dispenser. This lets you enjoy chilled drinks at your fingertips without the need of an additional container. They are also easy to clean.

Frost-free or no-frost technology can help prolong the lifespan of your appliance by preventing build-ups which can affect the performance of your appliance. You'll also reduce time and effort because you'll have to defrost your refrigerator freezer less often than conventional models.

Many of our models have a holiday mode, which reduces the amount of energy the fridge makes use of while you're away. Make sure to empty the freezer before you leave! We also have models that have energy efficiency ratings of A or higher. This is great for the environment and keeps your electricity costs low.

Energy

Although American refrigerator freezers have larger capacities than UK models, that does not mean they cost much to run. Modern manufacturing techniques and energy efficiency requirements from consumers mean that these big appliances use less power than you think.

It's a common belief that the bigger the freezer in the fridge, means higher the running costs. But this isn't always the case. It's usually due to compressor placement which sits close to the freezer's vertical compartment - and it gets hot quickly, which means it requires more effort to keep things chilled.

But, this doesn't need to be the case and you can pick from a selection of american style fridge freezers in white refrigerator freezers that are energy efficient and A+ rated with low levels of noise too. Look for features that lower your food costs like a the full flow of air to avoid the accumulation of frost 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 quite heavy too so you'll need to make sure they can get through front and internal doorways during delivery, particularly when you're having it delivered up to the top of a flat. If you're concerned you should ask the retailer if they are able to remove (and reattach) the refrigerator freezer doors after they have delivered it or engage a handyman to handle it for you.
