American Fridge Freezers
American fridge freezers have lots of space for storing food and drinks. They're often taller than regular UK models, making them a great option for kitchens with open spaces.
Water and ice dispensers are available in a variety of models, ensuring that you always have a refreshing drink on your side. The models with plumbed-in connections connect directly to the main water supply and ice, whereas the models that aren't plumbed use an integral tank that you can refill easily.
They're big
A large American fridge freezer is an impressive piece of equipment. These freezers are usually wider than freestanding freezers that are standard (up to 85cm on average) and feature two long doors that are large enough for a cupboard. They can accommodate 390 litres, which is enough to store 20 bags of supermarket food items!
These refrigerators also include several features that can help keep your food cool and fresh for longer. Keep an eye out for features like automatic defrost, advanced air circulation technology to maintain an even temperature and door mounted dispensers of water and ice.

Keep in mind that fridge freezers can be bulky, so be careful when measuring up. Don't forget to consider the size of your front doorway and the internal doors. Getting one delivered to your house can be difficult so ensure you can get it into the space you'd like prior to purchasing. If you're worried about access certain models have the mini bar door that folds down to allow easy access but doesn't let cold air escape. This feature is available on a few of our cheaper brands such as Hisense, Haier and Hotpoint.
They're bold
American-style refrigerator freezers have two doors that open outwards from the middle. They're sometimes referred to as side by side fridge freezers in the UK and some American-style fridge-freezers have the fridge above and a pull-out freezer drawer below (these are usually called French door designs).
As well as their size, fridge freezers usually have useful features. Look for features like a water and ice dispenser located on the door, that keeps your drinks cool and hydrated, without taking up valuable kitchen counter space. Additionally, you should look for an energy efficiency rating. The new system that took effect in 2021 makes it harder to find a fridge with an A++plus rating. However, if you're looking for a good starting point, take a look at the C-E range.
