American Style Fridge Freezers
A fridge freezer built in the American style makes a statement. They're larger than traditional models and can hold a large amount of food, some having more advanced functions such as holiday modes and smart displays.
Some of these dispensers also include water and ice dispensers that are plumbed-in or non-plumbed, and have tanks built-in.
Large capacity
A traditional British fridge freezer has less space and is not as stylish. An American fridge freezer can stand out in your kitchen. This lets you store more food for large families or even more shopping options if you have a large number of guests to feed.
You can get models with double doors, or designs with two doors over the pull-out drawer (also called French style American fridge freezers). They are generally freestanding but you can also opt for integrated models which sit flush against your cabinetry.
These models aren't just spacious and spacious, but they also come with additional features that will make your life easier. They can also add a touch of luxury to your home. For instance, you could choose a door-mounted cool water and ice maker that can provide unlimited chilled water or crushed ice that you can pour directly from the fridge.
Naturally, these extras will take up space and mean that the freezer in your fridge is larger than a standard model. This can limit the location it can be placed or if you're getting one delivered and you want to move it around, how easy it is to access it to your home! It's a good idea to take measurements of your doorways and any other spaces the freezer in your fridge will need to pass through prior making your purchase. This includes your front door and any doors inside it will need to pass through.
Convertible zones
In addition to offering a huge amount of storage space, American fridge freezers have numerous features to help keep your food at its best. Choose american fridge freezer with convertible zones which allow you to switch the freezer compartment from fridge to freezer depending on your needs (ideal at Christmas when you need more space for wine). There are also energy efficient options with an E rating such as the Hisense RQ560N4WCF, our top pick from this range due to its holiday mode and dual cooling system which separates the fridge and freezer to stop dry freezer air from affecting chilled foods.
These American fridge freezers feature ice and water dispensers built into the doors in order to save space. These are often plumbed in and must be in close proximity to your water supply so consider the location in your kitchen before buying. Most American fridge freezers are freestanding and can be a bit tricky to access through doors and into your home. So consider accurately measuring and thinking about any hallways, stairs or corners that you'll need to pass through before buying one. It's a good idea to have someone who can help you out if you need.
Water & ice dispensers
Most American refrigerator freezers have an integrated water dispenser that can serve crushed chilled, filtered, or crushed cold ice by pressing the button. It's an excellent way to get your family members to stay hydrated and adds to the fun factor, especially for kids.
Depending on the model you choose this feature could require plumbing and limit the location of your appliance. You'll require a water-filter that needs to be changed every six months.
