Size
American fridge freezers are bigger than their UK counterparts and are a striking addition to any kitchen. They are typically freestanding and can have a size as large as 91cm. They can also range in size from 70cm to 91cm.
Usually, they have two doors with full length that allow you access to both the fridge and freezer. They also usually include shelves on the door for easy-to-reach items.

These freezers can also be more spacious than their UK counterparts, allowing you to fit in more frozen food items and to reduce shopping trips. The additional storage space makes them a great choice for large family dinners and for planning parties.
Certain models are equipped with frost-free technology which helps to minimise manual defrosting and maintain their effectiveness for a longer period of time. They also have exciting features such as water and ice dispensers that allow chilled drinks on demand.
When selecting a brand new American refrigerator freezer, take the time to carefully measure your space. Be aware of not only the width but the height too ensuring you are able to fit it in without crashing into doors or cabinets while opening. If you're buying a model with a plumbed-in plumbing system, remember that you'll have to ensure it is located near a water supply.
Style
The 'American-style fridge freezer' is a broad term that refers to the large models popular with large families. They typically come with double doors that open to the size of a cupboard. This design is timeless and allows the user to view food items at eye-level without having to open the entire appliance. You can cut down on energy by only opening one door at a moment, and reduce the loss of cold air.
If you cook for a large group of people or want to cook in batches pick models with extra storage space, as well as useful features like no-frost and multi-flow settings. A lot of American models we sell also include a handy ice dispensing system to allow everyone to enjoy a refreshing glass of water.

The majority of the models we offer are freestanding and can be placed as a stylish feature piece or placed in a bank of kitchen units to create an edgier look.

A lot of our models come with a holiday mode too that reduces the amount of energy your fridge uses when you're away. Be sure to empty the freezer before leaving! Our selection includes models with an energy efficiency rating of A or better. This is great for the planet and will help keep your electricity costs low.
Energy
Although American fridge freezers are larger and have plenty of space compared to UK models, this doesn't mean that they cost a fortune to run. Modern manufacturing techniques, as well as energy efficiency requirements from customers have meant that these huge appliances consume less energy than you'd think.
It's a common belief that the bigger fridge freezers mean more expensive the operating costs. But this isn't the scenario. It's often down to the compressor's position, which is situated close to an even larger vertical freezer compartment. This can get hot quickly, meaning it requires more effort to ensure that things stay cool.
But, this doesn't need to be the case and you can choose from a variety of American fridge freezers that are A+ energy rated with low levels of noise too. Find features that cut down on your food expenses including the full flow of air to avoid condensation of frost, and fancy drawers with 0@ for vegetables and fruits for longevity and freshness.
It's important to note that these large kitchen appliances can be heavy too so you'll need to make sure they can make it through front and internal doorways when they are delivered, especially when you're having it delivered to a top floor flat. If you're concerned, it's best to ask the retailer if they can remove (and attach) the doors to the fridge freezer when they deliver it, or engage a handyman to handle it for you.
