Are You Getting The Most Value From Your American Freezer Fridge

American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers are an excellent kitchen accessory, offering lots of space to store food and drinks. They tend to be taller and larger than UK models which makes them an excellent choice for kitchens with an open layout.

Ice and water dispensers are available in many models, ensuring that you always have a refreshing drink on hand. The models with plumbed-in connections connect directly to your mains supply of water in contrast to the non-plumbed models, which make use of an integral tank which you can refill easily.

They're big

A huge American fridge freezer is a marvellous machine. These freezers are usually wider than the standard freestanding models (up to 85cm in average) and have two long cupboard-sized doorways. They can contain 390 litres. That's enough to hold 20 grocery bags filled with groceries!

These refrigerators also have a number of features that help keep your food fresh and cool for longer. Keep an eye out for features such as automated defrost and advanced air circulation technology that helps maintain the same temperature, and door-mounted dispensers for water and ice.

Our budget-friendly American fridge freezers come with an A-rated energy efficiency rating that means they're good value and will help lower your monthly bills. And they're simple to purchase with various payment options, including Klarna and PayPal Credit available.

Don't forget that these fridge-freezers are also quite bulky - so make sure you consider the width of your front and internal doors when you take measurements. It can be difficult to transport one, so check that you are able to fit it into the room prior to purchasing. If you're worried about the accessibility, some models have mini bar doors that folds down for easy reach without letting cold air escape. This feature is available on some of our less expensive brands, such as Hisense, Haier and Hotpoint.

They're bold

American-style fridge freezers have two doors that extend outwards from the middle. In the UK they are often referred to as side-by-side fridge freezers, but certain American-style models have an upper fridge and a freezer drawer below.

As well as their size, fridge freezers usually have useful features. You should look for features like the water and ice dispenser placed on the door that keeps your drinks cool and hydrated without taking up valuable kitchen counter space. Additionally, you should look for an energy efficiency rating. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find an A+++ rated fridge-freezer as the new stricter system took effect in 2021, however a good spot to start is at the C-E mark.

Brand aficionados will want to look into Siemens IQ 700 KA92DHXFP. It comes with a stunning matte black finish and has a spacious interior'meal area which is 534 litres split into 173 litres to go in the fridge and 367 litres for the freezer. The model also boasts impressive energy efficiency and an A+rating due to the Inverter Linear Compressor. In addition, there's a convenient door mounted ice maker and LED lighting to help find the right thing. It's also designed to be quiet, with a Quiet Mark certification, so it's perfect for open plan living spaces.

They're stylish

The main difference between the American fridge freezer and the traditional larder-style fridge freezers we're accustomed to here in the UK is size - American-style models are much bigger and feature full length double doors. These are great for families who want to stock up and save money on shopping trips and for large family meals or gatherings around Christmas.

Aside from their hefty storage capacity, tall american fridge freezer fridge freezers also are elegant, with sleek surfaces and smart technology. Choose from a variety of colors to complement your kitchen, such as black, white and silver. You should look for models that include ice and water dispensers that can offer refreshing, filtered and instant cold drinks or ice cubes with the push of a button. Some models have zones that can change from an appliance to a freezer, for example storage of leftovers and food items for parties.

You'll need a strong hand to move them into your kitchen. You'll also have to make sure that the doors open fully so they can be easily accessed. Many come with intelligent features too, like OptimalFresh Plus boxes that can be set to two different temperatures for different kinds of food, as well as Dual Cooling, which prevents dry freezer air from drying your frozen food items and prevents the spread of smells.

They're practical

With long cupboard-style doors that are positioned above a freezer section, American fridge freezers have an appealing design and create an attractive focal point in your kitchen. They can also be some luxury with models that come with an ice maker and a cold water dispenser that is integrated inside the door.

These appliances can be plumbed into or not plumbed to fit your home and lifestyle and come with a variety of useful features that make them more useful. Total No Frost technology eliminates ice and you will never need to manually defrost your appliance again. LED displays permit easy temperature control.

There are plenty of additional storage options available with these models that include deep pockets for milk and juice bottles. You can also choose the model with an adjustable zone. This lets you transform the freezer into a refrigerator at any time. Choose a model with an internal reservoir that is not plumbed. You can refill the reservoir with water from the tap, and then enjoy fresh, clean drinking water right from the dispenser.

With a capacity of 390 litres (which can store 33 bags of groceries), these fridge freezers are the perfect option for those who want to add a bit of style and space to their kitchen.
