How to Choose the Smallest American Fridge Freezer

American fridge freezers are large and take up a lot of space. It's important that you assess your kitchen space to make sure that it will fit. You don't want to leave a gap, or risk hitting it against other white goods, damaging it.

Certain manufacturers offer slim American fridge freezers specifically designed for the UK market. These models are 70cm in width and have all the design, technology and storage capacity you would expect.

Size

If you're limited in space in your kitchen and would like to add a striking American fridge freezer, opt for one of our slim models. At less than 70cm wide, they're narrower than the standard freestanding appliance and provide more usable storage capacity as well. They also look fantastic pushed back into a bank of kitchen units for a sleek look.

American fridge freezers have larger footprints than their UK counterparts, so make sure to check measurements carefully to ensure that they fit. Note the height too - a lot of models reach more than 180cm, which may be too high for some homes. Use our refrigerator sizes guide to evaluate various models against each other or ask a sales associate at the counter to assist.

It is also important to consider the energy rating of any American refrigerator-freezer that you are thinking of buying. The ratings are indicated with an asterisk and vary from A to with A being the most efficient. Pick a model with an energy rating of 'E' or greater to reduce your energy bills. You might also want to take a look at the annual operating costs per kWh as listed in the product details. This can give you a complete idea of how much it will cost to operate your new appliance.

Capacity

American fridge freezers are cavernous inside, meaning you'll have plenty of space to store your daily purchases. You'll want to look for models that have up to 700 litres of storage space - that's enough space for most families. There's typically a separate freezer as well as an automatic dispenser, and the digital displays allow you to monitor your energy usage and make sure the door is closed properly.

If you want to reduce your operating expenses, go for a model with dual cooling systems that keep the freezer and fridge at different temperatures. This prevents the dry, cold air out of the freezer from drying the food stored in the refrigerator, and also helps stop the transfer of smells. It can also be more efficient than a single zone appliance that can cut down your annual electric bills by as much as 10%.

Measure your cupboards before buying any white goods to make sure that the new refrigerator freezer will fit. Also, allow for ventilation on the sides front, back and top.

Design

The great thing about a fridge freezer in the american freezer fridge style is that it can be either pulled back to fit in the kitchen cabinet to create a sleeker appearance or left as a freestanding piece to create a statement piece. It's important to make sure that your new appliance fits the space, if you decide for a design that is stand-alone or one that is located in a cabinet. Also make a note of the distance from your cooking area so you can estimate the amount of clearance needed to open and close the doors. All fridges and freezers need a certain space around them to allow for air circulation.
