Why We Do We Love American Freezer Fridge (And You Should, Too!)
American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers can provide a lot of space for storing food and drinks. They tend to be larger and larger than UK models making them a fantastic choice for open-plan kitchens.

Many homes have water and ice dispensers so chilled, refreshing drinks are always on hand. The models with plumbed-in connections connect directly to the mains supply of water and ice, whereas the models that aren't plumbed utilize an integrated tank that you can refill easily.

They're big

A large American fridge freezer is an impressive machine. Normally wider than a standard freestanding model (up to 85cm in average) and sporting two long doors that can be sized like a cupboard, these freezers can give you a massive 390 litres of storage space - enough for 20 grocery bags worth of shopping!

These refrigerators also come with numerous features that help keep your food fresh and cool for longer. Be on the lookout for features like automated defrost and advanced air circulation technology that helps maintain a consistent temperature and door-mounted dispensers of water and ice.

Our affordable American fridge freezers come with an A-rated energy efficiency rating that means they're an excellent value and can lower the cost of your energy bills. And they're easy to pay for using flexible payment options like Klarna and PayPal Credit available.

Remember that fridge freezers can be quite bulky too - so be mindful when you measure up. Make sure to take into account the size of your front doorway and internal doors. It's sometimes difficult to transport one and you should ensure that you can accommodate it in the room before you buy. If you're concerned about access, some models have an entryway that folds down to allow easy access but doesn't let cold air escape. This feature is offered in a number of our brands that are less expensive, such as Hisense Haier and Hotpoint.

It's bold

American-style fridge freezers come with two doors that swing outwards from the middle. In the UK they are sometimes referred as side-by-side fridge freezers. However, some American models have the fridge on top, and a freezer drawer underneath.

These fridge freezers have a lot of useful features apart from their dimensions. Be sure to look for things like doors that have water and an ice dispenser, which can keep your drinks cold and hydrated, without taking up kitchen counter space, as well as an energy efficiency rating. The new system that went into effect in 2021 makes it more difficult to find a fridge freezer with an A++plus rating. If you're looking for an excellent starting point, consider the C-E range.

Fans of the brand will want to take a look at Siemens IQ 700 KA92DHXFP. It is available in a striking matte-black finish. It offers a large interior'meal space', with the capacity of 540 litres, divided into 173 litres for the fridge and 367 litres for the freezer. This model comes with an A+energy rating due to its Inverter Linear compressor. There's also a handy ice maker mounted on the door, as well as LED lighting to help you find what you're looking for. It's also designed to be quiet, with the Quiet Mark certification, so it's perfect for open plan living spaces.

They're fashionable

The primary distinction between the American fridge freezer and the more traditional larder-style best fridge freezers we're used to here in the UK is the size. American models are a lot bigger, with doors that are full length and double in size. They're a great option for families who prefer to store food in order to cut down shopping trips and also for large gatherings of the family or for Christmas.

american style fridge freezers are not just large in size, but they are also stylish thanks to their sleek finishes and advanced technology. You can find them in a variety of colours like fresh white, sleek silver, and sophisticated black to complement the kitchen's style. You can find models with filters and ice which provide instant cold drinks and frozen cubes. Some also have flexible zones that can be transformed from a freezer to fridge, such as when storing leftovers or food items for parties.

You'll need to use a strong hand to move them into your kitchen. It's crucial that the doors are able to fully open, so that it is easy to access them. Many come with intelligent features, for instance OptimalFresh Plus boxes that can be set to two different temperatures for different types of food, as well as Dual Cooling that stops dry freezer air from dehydrating your frozen goods and preventing smells from spreading.

They're practical

American fridge freezers are distinguished by their long, cupboard-style doors which sit above the freezer section. They create a focal point in your kitchen by displaying this unique appearance. They can also be some luxury by having models with an ice maker as well as a cold water dispenser that is integrated inside the door.

The appliances can be plugged in or non-plumbed to suit your home and lifestyle and come with various practical features that make them even more efficient. This includes Total No Frost technology that prevents the accumulation of ice and means you'll never have to manually defrost your appliance, and LED displays that provide an easy temperature control.

These models also provide an array of storage options, such as deep pockets to store juice bottles and milk bottles. You can also pick a model that has a convertible zone which allows you to convert the freezer into a fridge as needed. Choose a model with an internal reservoir that isn't plumbed. You can refill the reservoir from your tap and drink fresh, clean drinking water right from the dispenser.
