American Fridge Freezers
American fridge freezers provide a lot of space for storing food and drinks. They're typically taller than normal UK models, making them an excellent choice for kitchens with open spaces.
Many homes have water and ice dispensers, so chilled, refreshing drinks are always in the fridge. The options that are plumbed-in connect directly to your mains water supply while non-plumbed designs make use of an integral tank that you can refill easily.
They're huge
An American fridge freezer is a massive beast. They are generally larger than the standard freestanding models (up to 85cm in the average) and feature two long doors that are the size of a cupboard. They can accommodate 390 litres, which is enough to hold 20 bags of supermarket food items!
They also include a host of other features to help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Look out for advanced air circulation to ensure consistent temperature, automatic defrost technology and door-mounted water and Ice dispensers.
Our budget-friendly American fridge freezers are equipped with an energy efficiency rating of A that means they're an excellent value and can lower the amount you pay for. They're also easy to purchase, with the option of a flexible payment method like Klarna or PayPal Credit.
Keep in mind that refrigerator freezers can be large, therefore be cautious when weighing up. Also, don't forget to take into account the width of your front doorway and the internal doors. Getting one delivered to your house can be difficult and you should ensure that you can get it into the space you'd like prior to purchasing. If you're worried about the accessibility to the unit, some models come with mini bar doors that folds down for ease of access without letting cold air escape. This feature is included in a few of our lesser-priced brands like Hisense Haier and Hotpoint.
It's bold
American-style refrigerator freezers feature two doors that swing outwards from the middle. In the UK they are often referred to as side-by-side fridge freezers. However, some American-style models have a fridge on top and a freezer drawer beneath.
In addition to their size, these fridge freezers are usually packed with useful features. You should look for features like the water and ice dispenser located on the door, which keeps your drinks chilled and hydrated, without taking up valuable counter space. Additionally, you should look for an energy efficiency rating. It's now much harder to find an A+refrigerator-freezer with a ++ rating as the new stricter system was implemented in 2021, however, a good place to start is at the C-E mark.
