American-Style Fridge Freezers
A fridge freezer with an american style is a great addition to any kitchen. They are big and striking making a statement. They're also extremely practical, with plenty of storage space as well as many features, including water and ice dispensers.
However, it's worth bearing a few points to keep in mind prior to purchasing one.
Size
american fridge frezzers tend to be bigger than UK models. This gives you more space to store your groceries. The average size is believed to accommodate up to 38 shopping bags of food, which is ideal for families that have a large appetite and frequent house guests. Select a model with an integrated water and Ice dispenser for chilled drinks in your hand. Our range includes both slimline options for smaller spaces as well as large, double-door models to suit the entire family.
You can also find American fridge freezers that come in different designs to fit your kitchen. You can choose from sleek silver, sophisticated black, minimalist white or bolder finishes.
You can be sure that our models are from top brands. Our collection also includes refrigerator freezers that have an A energy rating, so you can be confident about the environmental impact of your new purchase as well as saving money on your electric bills.
When selecting your American fridge freezer, it is important to measure the space where you'll be placing it prior to purchasing. Make sure you have enough room for it to open and close its doors comfortably, as well as any drawers or shelves inside. We recommend designing your kitchen's layout with the appliance so you can see if there are any tricky spots to navigate. You'll also want to make sure you can still reach all your favourite snacks!
Aesthetics
The size of American-style refrigerator freezers isn't the only thing that makes them stand out. They can be an excellent opportunity to impress your friends and family members with your food and drink. They also come with features that other refrigerators don't, such as water and ice dispensers, digital displays, and fancy fruit and vegetable drawers to keep food fresher longer.
The colour options for fridges are also more varied than other appliances. This means that you can pick a fridge that will fit your kitchen. The brushed stainless models are particularly appealing as they blend in with the kitchen, creating an elegant style statement.
The latest American-style fridges include a variety of smart technology that could reduce food waste and simplify your life. For instance the Samsung Bespoke line of fridges (which was introduced at CES in 2021) can be built to meet your needs, with an array of colors and sizes. You can even have a 21.5-inch Android tablet installed, which provides useful access to the web plus a raft of apps for shopping lists and calendars, recipes pictures, messages, timers and more. It can even recognise your voice and respond to your questions like Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey!
Of of course, not everyone would like a smart fridge. You might prefer a less flashy however, equally functional one like the iQ500 from SMEG. It comes in a variety of classic retro colours. It even has a water dispenser that is not plumbed located on the right-hand side of the door, allowing you to dispensing clean, cold water and instant Ice.
Storage
American fridge freezers are more spacious than their British counterparts and allow you to store and chill more food items until you're ready to consume it. They're ideal for large families, frequent house guests and those who prefer to shop for bargains or bulk buy items to reduce waste and make more manageable shopping trips.
You can find a wide variety of storage options within American-style refrigerators from drawers to shelves. Some refrigerators have adjustable shelves, making it possible to modify your fridge to fit various sizes of food and drink containers. Door racks are great for storing jars of nut butter, pasteurised juices or condiments such as ketchup and mustard and freezer drawers can be used to store frozen meats, frozen vegetables, and bread. It's recommended to avoid storing milk in the doors as it is more susceptible to temperature fluctuations and may be more prone to spoiling.
A neatly-stocked, well-organized fridge is a sight to behold. A fridge that is neatly organized will not only look nice, but it will also aid in saving money and also reduce the smells that fill your fridge. It's easy to achieve with the right kitchen appliances.
Utilize storage containers and containers with clear labels to establish a system of organising your food items. That way, you'll never find the jar of hummus or wondering what that weird green blob that's in the freezer's bottom is. Use baskets, bins and clear plastic containers to keep different kinds of food and invest in fridge door racks ($13, Amazon) to organize bottles and jars.
Energy efficiency
American fridge freezers are an excellent way to add a modern look to your kitchen. Their ample storage capacity will allow you to fit in plenty of your weekly shopping while keeping food fresh for a longer period of time. However, they can also be expensive to run due to their energy consumption. You can lower your electric bill by up to 50% if you select an appliance that has higher energy efficiency ratings. Look for models with the higher A or A+ energy label as they use less energy than models with an lower rating.
Energy efficient refrigerators can save you a substantial amount of money over the long term. A fridge with low carbon emissions can help reduce the impact of your household on the environment. Some models have an automatic holiday mode that switches the refrigerator freezer to a power saving mode when you're away.
Many energy-efficient refrigerators come with features such as an automatic ice maker or twin cooling systems. These systems help to increase efficiency by separating 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 perfect for those looking for an ultra-compact American fridge freezer. These can be as little as 70cm wide and are suitable for UK homes with less available space. These models are often positioned side-by-side and feature the freezer compartment at the top of the fridge, which means you won't need to stoop as low to get your frozen goods. These come in many different styles, such as stainless steel or silver.
Purchase a New Refrigerator
American fridge freezers are an excellent addition to any kitchen and offer lots of storage. Whether you're a foodie who likes to keep a range of fresh ingredients at hand or a parent with a hungry family to feed or a keen entertainer with a crowd to impress, these freezers will allow you to store everything from snacks and fizzy drinks to leftovers from meals and parties.
There are models in many colours such as sleek black that can enhance the overall look. Many models come with door racks that allow you to keep larger bottles and cartons upright, freeing up shelves for other items. You'll also find a number of plumbed dispensers of water and ice which allow you to get instant ice cold drinking water or crushed ice for cocktails at a moment's notice.
It is also important to choose an energy-efficient model for American fridge freezers. They are usually on all day so they must be energy efficient in order to reduce your household expenses. Look out for the Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) label, which is displayed on all our models. A model with a higher EER rating is more efficient.
Don't forget about the installation and delivery costs of your new appliance. It is crucial to measure the height, width and depth of your home's entrance, as well as any steps or doors it will have to pass through on its way into your kitchen. Compare these measurements with the dimensions of the model you're contemplating to ensure it will fit. You can employ a handyman or a strong man to help you move it up and down the staircase.
