How To Save Money On Small American Fridge Freezers
American Style Fridge Freezers
A fridge freezer that is designed in the American style can make an impression. They're larger than traditional models and can store a large amount of food. Some models are also with more advanced features like holiday modes and smart displays.
Some have dispensers of ice and water that are either plumbed in or with non-plumbed options that draw water from an integrated American style fridge freezer tank.
Large capacity
An American fridge freezer is a striking design statement in your kitchen and offers much more space than traditional British ones. This allows you to store more food items for large families or even more shopping options if you are hosting a lot of guests.
You can choose models with double doors or designs with two door above a drawer (also known as French style American refrigerator freezers). They are generally freestanding, but you can opt for integrated models that sit flush against the cabinetry.
These models are not just spacious however, they also have additional features that make your life easier. They can also add a touch luxury to your home. You can, for instance pick a door-mounted cooler water dispenser and crushed ice maker that will offer unlimited chilled water.
Obviously, these extras will occupy space, and the fridge freezer is deeper than the normal model. This could limit the places you can put it and, if it's being delivered or delivered, how easy it is to bring it into your home! Before you buy it's a good idea to examine the doorways as well as other areas where the fridge freezer is required to fit. This includes your front door, as well as any doors inside it will need to manoeuvre through.
Convertible zones
American fridge freezers provide an abundance of storage and a variety of features that keep your food fresh. Look for models that come with convertible zones which permit you to change the freezer compartment from fridge to freeze to suit your needs (ideal during the Christmas season when you're looking to make more room for wine). There are also energy efficient models that have an E rating like the Hisense RQ560N4WCF which is our top pick in this category because of its holiday mode and dual cooling system which separates the fridge and freezer to stop dry freezer air from affecting chilled foods.
You can also find American fridge freezers with ice and water dispensers which are built into the doors, which saves space. They are typically plumbed-in and will need to close to your water source so think about this before purchasing. Before purchasing a fridge freezer, be sure to make sure you measure it accurately and take into consideration any corners, stairs or hallways that may be involved. It's a good idea to have someone who can help you out if you need.
Water & ice dispensers
Most American refrigerator freezers have an integrated water dispenser that can dispense chilled, filtered or crushed ice with the click of one button. It's a great way to make sure everyone in your family to drink a glass of water and enhances the enjoyment especially for children.
Depending on the model, this feature might require plumbing or limit the space you can place your appliance. You'll need a water-filter that needs to be changed every six months.
In addition to being an excellent convenience, a water and ice dispenser can prevent beverages and food from going cold or rotting. It's also easier to clean than having to empty and refill Ice cube trays on a regular basis.
These freestanding models are stylish and innovative. They have received a number of positive reviews on Mumsnet forums. The Russell Hobbs RH90FF176BWD features a digital LED display for temperature control and an electronic child lock that gives peace of assurance. It's got a large capacity, and the freezer section is separated by shelves instead of drawers for a streamlined look. With an A+ energy rating, this fridge is also economical to run. This fridge has a 2-year warranty.
Aesthetics
These enormous kitchens have an abundance of appeal. They're designed to be the focal point of your kitchen, and will certainly turn heads. With freezer drawers placed at eye level, you'll have easy access to the items you require without having to dig down into your chilly storage. You can also usually find an water and ice dispenser included so that you'll always have access to chilled, filtered water and crystal-clear ice.
American-style fridge freezers can be a great choice for families with large families or who have a lot of food to store. They are available in a range of finishes. Many models are able to be customized, like reversible doors or alarms when the door is opened.
If you're looking for an extra boost in keeping their food fresh, look for models with a glass panel on the door to the freezer that flashes when you knock. This lets you observe what's inside without having to open the door. It also stops the air from getting out to save money. You can also find refrigerators equipped with a handy salad crisper drawer so you can keep your vegetables neatly separated and healthy.
