American-Style Fridge Freezers

There's plenty to love about a fridge freezer that's American-style - they're big and bold enough to be a real fashion statement in your kitchen. They're also extremely practical with plenty of storage space as well as many features, including ice and water dispensers.

However, it's worth bearing a few things in mind before purchasing one.

Size

American fridge freezers tend to be bigger than UK models. This means you have more space to store your food items. The average size is estimated to accommodate up to 38 shopping bags of food - perfect for families that have a large appetite and frequent house guests. Choose a model with an integrated water and ice dispenser to provide easy chilled drinks on demand. Our range includes slimline models that are ideal for smaller spaces as well as large double-door options to fit your family.

There are American refrigerator freezers with a variety of finishes that will match your kitchen. From sleek silver and elegant black to an elegant white finish or something more striking you can blend your new appliance into your kitchen's color scheme or make it a stand-out piece in its own right.

You can be assured that our models are from top brands. Our selection includes fridge freezers that have an A energy rating, which means you can be confident about the impact on the environment of your new purchase while saving money on your electric costs.

Before you purchase it is important to measure the space in which you plan to put your American fridge-freezer. Verify that the fridge freezer is able to open and close its door comfortably. Also, verify if there are any shelves or drawers in the interior. We recommend designing your kitchen's layout with the appliance in mind so that you can determine if there are tricky spots to navigate. You'll want to make sure you can still reach your favourite snacks, too!

Aesthetics

American-style fridge freezers aren't only about their size, but. They often provide a stylish design element in kitchens and are an impressive way to showcase your wealth and taste to family and friends. They also tend to include a variety of features that other fridges do not have, like water and ice dispensers, digital displays and fancy fruit and vegetable drawers to ensure freshness for longer.

The colors available for refrigerators are also more diverse than the other appliances. This means that you can pick a model that complement your kitchen. The brushed stainless steel models are especially eye-catching, as they blend in with the kitchen and fridge and freezer create a subtle yet stunning design statement.

The most recent American-style refrigerators are also fitted with a range of smart technologies that can cut down on food waste and simplify your life. For instance the Samsung Bespoke line of fridges (which first debuted at CES in 2021) can be custom-built to meet your needs, with various colors and sizes. You can also download an 21.5-inch Android Tablet that provides access to the internet and a range of apps, such as shopping lists, calendars recipes messages, photos timers, etc. It will even recognize your voice and respond to your questions, just like Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey!

Some people don't want a sophisticated refrigerator. It's possible to opt for a model that's less attractive, but also more practical such as the iQ 500 from SMEG that is available in a variety of classic retro coloured finishes. It has a nonplumbed water dispenser, which allows you to serve cold, clean water and instant ice.

Stores

American fridge freezers are bigger than their British counterparts. This lets you store more food and keep it chilled until you are ready to eat. They're ideal for large families, frequent house guests and anyone who wants to stock up on bargain buys or bulk purchase items to cut down on waste and to make it easier to manage shopping trips.

You'll find a broad assortment of storage options inside an american-style under counter fridge from drawers to shelves. Some are equipped with adjustable shelving, making it easy to modify your refrigerator to fit different sized foods and drinks containers. Door racks are ideal for storing condiments such as mustard, ketchup and pasteurised juices. Freezer drawers are great for frozen meats and vegetables, as well as bread. It is recommended not to store milk in the doors because it will be more susceptible to temperature fluctuations and could be more prone to spoiling.

It's not difficult to see that a well-stocked and organized fridge is awe-inspiring to see. In addition to being attractive, a fridge that's neatly laid out can help you save money, reduce food wastage and cut down on those pesky fridge odors. The good thing is that it's fairly easy to achieve, particularly if you have the right kitchen appliances.

Use storage containers and containers with clear labels to establish an orderly system for your food. This way, you won't be searching for the jar of hummus or wondering what the strange green blob that's in the freezer's bottom is. Use clear plastic containers, baskets, and bins to keep the different types of food items. Also, consider investing in refrigerator door racks ($13 on Amazon) to store bottles and jars.

Energy efficiency

American fridge freezers are an excellent way to add a contemporary style to your kitchen. Their large storage capacities will allow you to fit into your daily shopping while keeping food fresh for longer. However, they can be costly to operate due to their energy consumption. The good thing is that you could substantially reduce your energy bills by selecting an appliance that has an energy efficiency rating higher. Look for models with a higher A or A+ energy label since these will use less energy than those with a lower rating.

You can save a lot of money by investing in energy efficient refrigerators. A fridge with low carbon emissions will also help reduce the impact of your home on the environment. Some models also come with a holiday mode which automatically switches the fridge freezer to a low-power setting when you're away.

There are many energy-efficient fridges with features like an automatic ice maker or twin cooling systems. This can help improve efficiency by separating the fridge and freezer sections, which prevents the warmer air in your fridge from causing freezing issues in the bottom of your freezer.

Slimline models are great for those looking for an ultra-compact American fridge freezer. They can be as small as 70cm wide, making them suitable for UK homes with less available space. These models are typically placed on opposite sides and have a freezer compartment on top of the fridge, so you won't need to stoop as low to get your frozen items. These come in many different styles, such as silver or stainless steel.

Shopping for a New under counter fridge Freezer

American fridge freezers can make a great kitchen statement and offer copious amounts of storage space. They're great for those who want to store a variety fresh ingredients, no matter if they're a foodie, a parent, or entertainer.

There are models in many colours such as sleek black that can really enhance the overall look. Many models come with door racks that let you store larger containers and bottles upright, allowing shelf space for other things. You can find a range of plumbed ice and water dispensers that let you get ice cold water to drink or crushed ice on demand.

It is also crucial to select an energy-efficient model for American refrigerator freezers. They are typically open all day, so they must be energy efficient to reduce your household bills. Each model we offer comes with an Energy Efficiency Rating (EER), which indicates how efficient they are.

Also, don't forget think about the installation and delivery of your new appliance. It is essential to determine the width, height and depth of your home's entrance, as well as any doors or steps it will have to pass through to get into your kitchen. Compare these measurements with the dimensions of the model you are considering to make sure it's a good fit. You can hire a handyman or strong man to help you move it up and down the steps.
