American Fridge Freezers
American fridge freezers offer plenty of space to store food and drinks. They tend to be taller and wider than UK models, making them an excellent option for kitchens with open spaces.
Many have water and ice dispensers so chilled, refreshing drinks are always on hand. The models that are plumbed in connect directly to your main water supply, while the non-plumbed models make use of an integral tank which you can refill easily.
They're huge
A huge American fridge freezer is a formidable machine. Normally wider than a standard freestanding model (up to 85cm in average) and with two cupboard-sized doors, these freezers can give you a massive 390 litres of room - enough to hold 20 supermarket bags worth of shopping!
They also come with a host of other features to help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Look out for advanced air circulation to ensure consistent temperature, automatic defrost technology and door-mounted water and ice dispensers.
Our budget-friendly American fridge freezers come with an A-rated energy efficiency rating which means they're excellent value and will lower your monthly bills. And they're simple to purchase with various payment options like Klarna and PayPal Credit available.
Don't forget that fridge freezers are also quite large - so be sure to consider the size of your internal and front doors when you're measuring. Getting one delivered to your residence can be a challenge and you should ensure that you are able to get it into the space you want before purchasing. If you're concerned about access, some models have the mini bar door that folds down to allow easy access, but does not 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 have two doors that swing outwards from the middle. In the UK they are sometimes referred to as side-by-side fridge freezers. However some American-style models feature refrigerators on top and a freezer drawer underneath.
In addition to their size, these fridge freezers usually have useful features. Look for features such as a water and ice dispenser placed on the door which keeps your drinks chilled and hydrated, but without taking up valuable counter space. Also, you should look for an energy efficiency rating. The new system that came into effect in 2021 makes it difficult to find a fridge-freezer with an A++or higher rating. However, if you're looking to find a good start, check out the C-E range.
For those who love brands, take a look at the Siemens IQ700 model, KA92DHXFP. It is stunning matte black.

This model also has an impressive energy efficiency and an A+rating due to the Inverter Linear Compressor. There's also an ice maker that can be hung on the door, and LED lighting that helps to find what you're searching for. It's also designed to be quiet, with a Quiet Mark certification, so it's great for open plan living spaces.
It's stylish
The main distinction between an American fridge freezer and the more traditional larder-style fridge freezers that we have here in the UK is the size. American-style models are much bigger and feature doors that are full length and double in size. They're a great choice for families who like to shop for food to reduce shopping trips as well as for large family meals or for Christmas parties.
American fridge freezers are not only big in size, but they are also stylish thanks to their sleek finishes and sophisticated technology. You can get them in a variety colors including fresh white, sleek silver, and sophisticated black to fit the color scheme of your kitchen. You can find models with ice and filtered water dispensers that offer instant cold drinks and frozen cubes. There are also zones with flexible design that can be converted from a freezer to fridge, for instance when you need to store leftovers or food for a party.
One thing to bear in mind when you are using American fridge freezers is that they can be quite heavy. You'll require a helper to move them in your kitchen. It is essential that the doors fully open, so that you can access them easily. Many come with clever features, such as OptimalFresh Plus boxes which can be set to two different temperatures for different kinds of food, and Dual Cooling that prevents dry freezer air from dehydrating your frozen items and also preventing the spread of smells.
They're practical
American fridge freezers are distinguished by their tall, cupboard-style doors which sit above the freezer section. They make a statement in your kitchen with this distinctive design. They can also be an element of luxury by offering models with an ice maker as well as a cold water dispenser that is integrated into the door.
They can be plumbed into or not plumbed to fit your lifestyle and home and come with a variety of useful features that make them more efficient. This includes Total No Frost technology that removes ice build-up, which means you'll never need to manually defrost your appliance and LED displays that provide an easy temperature control.
They also have a variety of additional storage options, such as deep pockets to store juice bottles and milk bottles. You can also select an option that has a convertible zone which lets you change the freezer into a fridge whenever you need to. And for even more convenience go for a non-plumbed model that has an internal reservoir, so you can refill it with water from your tap and drink fresh drinking water that is filtered straight from the dispenser.
