American Fridges Freezers
American refrigerators and freezers are fashionable additions to any kitchen. They have a huge capacity so you can buy more and visit the shops less often.
They also feature sleek, minimalist design. Check out the mini bar door on the fridge that folds down for easy access to your cold drinks.
Size
American fridge freezers are more spacious than their UK counterparts, and they are a striking addition to any kitchen. These fridges are usually freestanding and can be as big as 91cm. They can also range in size from 70cm to 91cm.
They usually come with two doors that are full length that allow access to the fridge and freezer, often with door shelves for storage that make it easy to access items. This design is very popular with customers due to its ample storage space along with easy access to the contents without opening the freezer or fridge many times - saving energy.
These freezers are also larger than their UK counterparts, allowing you to store more frozen foods. This can reduce the number of shopping trips. The extra storage space makes them an ideal option for large family meals and for planning parties.
Some models have frost-free technology which helps to minimise manual defrosting and maintain their performance for a longer time. They can also offer interesting features, such as water and ice dispensers to serve chilled drinks on demand.
Take measurements of your space prior to purchasing a new American refrigerator freezer. You should also take into consideration the height to ensure you are able to fit it in the space, and to ensure you don't knock into any doors or cabinets when opening. If you purchase an item that is plumbed for water, you'll need to ensure that it is placed near a water source.
Style
The term "American-style refrigerator freezer" is a catch-all term for the larger models that are popular with larger families. They typically have double doors that open at cupboard-size. This design is timeless and allows the user to view food items at eye-level, without having to open the entire appliance. You can reduce energy consumption by only opening one door at a time, and minimise the loss of cold air.
If you have a big family to feed or prefer to batch-cook, look out for models with more storage capacity, as well as useful features like no-frost technology as well as multi-flow settings. A lot of American models we sell also come with an efficient ice dispenser to make it easier for everyone to enjoy a refreshing glass of water.
Some of the larger models also feature the option of converting the zone so which you can make into 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 weekly grocery shopping.
Most of the models we offer are freestanding and can be used as a stylish design element or put back into a set of kitchen units for a more streamlined look. Remember that these appliances are usually more substantial than traditional refrigerator freezers, so you'll need to ensure that you can incorporate them into your space.

Energy
The fact that American refrigerator freezers are bigger than UK models doesn't mean that they're more expensive to operate. Modern manufacturing techniques and energy efficiency demands from customers mean that these large appliances use less power than you think.
It is generally believed that the bigger the freezer in the fridge, means more expensive its running costs. But this isn't the scenario. The compressor is usually situated near a large vertical freezing compartment. This causes it to quickly heat up and work harder to keep the food items cool.

It's important to remember that these large kitchen appliances can be heavy, so you'll need to check they can pass through front and internal doorways on delivery - especially when it's being delivered to the top of a flat. Ask the retailer to remove and reconnect the refrigerator freezer door when they deliver the appliance if they are worried. You can also employ an electrician.
