American Fridge Freezers
American fridge freezers are a fantastic kitchen accessory, offering plenty of storage space for your food and drink. They're often taller than regular UK styles too, making them a fantastic choice for open-plan kitchens.
Many have dispensers for water and ice, so chilled refreshing drinks are always on hand. The models with plumbed-in connections connect directly to your main water supply in contrast to the non-plumbed models, which use an integral tank that you can easily replenish.
They're big
A typical American fridge freezer is a huge beast. These freezers are typically larger than standard freestanding models (up to 85cm in the average) and have two doors that are large enough for a cupboard. They can accommodate 390 litres, which is enough to store 20 bags of supermarket groceries!
american fridge freezers come with a host of other features that help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Be sure to look for the latest in air circulation to ensure constant temperature, automated defrost technology and doors-mounted water and Ice dispensers.
Our range of low-cost American fridge freezers are energy-efficient as well, and have an A-rated rating or better - which means they're a great value for money and will reduce your bills. They are also easy to pay for, with flexible payment options such as Klarna or PayPal Credit.
Don't forget that fridge freezers are also quite large - so don't forget the width of your front and interior doors when you measure. Getting one delivered to your home could be a challenge and you should ensure that you can fit it in the space you're looking for prior to purchasing. If you're worried about accessibility to it, some models have mini bar doors that folds down for easy access but doesn't let cold air escape. This feature is offered in a number of our less expensive brands, like Hisense Haier and Hotpoint.
They're bold
American-style refrigerator freezers feature two doors that swing outwards from the middle. They're sometimes referred by the name of side-by-side fridge freezers in the UK, though certain American-style fridge freezers have a fridge above and a pull-out freezer drawer beneath (these are usually referred to as French door models).
These fridge freezers have a lot of useful features, in addition to their size. Look for features like the door-mounted water and ice dispenser, which can keep your drinks chilled and hydrated, without taking up valuable counter space, and an energy efficiency rating. The new system that took effect in 2021 makes it harder to find a fridge-freezer with an A++or higher rating. However, if you're looking for a great start, check out the C-E range.

It's stylish
The primary difference between a traditional British larder style fridge freezer and an American model is the size. American models are larger, with double doors that stretch the full length of the fridge. These are great for families who want to stock up to save money on shopping trips and for large families or for gatherings at Christmas.
In addition to their enormous storage capacity, American fridge freezers also appear pretty stylish, with sleek finishes and cutting-edge technology. Choose from a variety of colours to match your kitchen, including black, white and silver. You should look for models that include water and ice dispensers that can offer refreshing, filtered and instant cold drinks or ice cubes at the touch of a switch. Some models feature zones that can be switched from the refrigerator to a freezer, for instance storage of leftovers and party food.
One thing to keep in mind when you are using American fridge freezers is that they can be quite heavy. You'll need a strong helping hand to move them into place in your kitchen. You'll also need to make sure that the doors are able to open completely so that they can be easily accessed. Some have smart features, such as OptimalFresh boxes that can be set at two different temperatures to suit different kinds of food items, or Dual Cooling, which keeps the dry air in the freezer from drying out frozen goods and preventing odors from spreading.
They're practical
American fridge freezers are distinguished by their long, cupboard-style doors that sit above the freezer section. They make a focal point of your kitchen due to their unique style. They can also be an element of luxury with models that come with an ice maker as well as a cold water dispenser integrated into the door.
Many of these appliances can be purchased with or without plumbing to fit your home and lifestyle. They also come with a variety of useful features that make them more useful. This includes Total No Frost technology that eliminates ice build-up and means you'll never have to manually defrost your appliance, and LED displays that allow simple temperature control.
These models also offer an array of storage options, such as deep pockets that can be used to store juice bottles and milk bottles. You can also pick the model with a convertible zone. This lets you transform the freezer into a refrigerator when necessary. Select a model that has an internal reservoir that is not plumbed. You can fill the reservoir with water from your faucet, and drink clean, filtered drinking water straight from the dispenser.
These refrigerator freezers have capacity of 390 litres, which is enough to hold 33 shopping bags. They are the ideal option for those looking to add more design and space to their home.
