American Style Fridge Freezers
A fridge freezer that is designed in the American style can make an impact. They're bigger than conventional models and can hold a large amount of food. Some are featuring more advanced features such as holiday modes and smart displays.
Some of these dispensers include water and ice dispensers that are plumbed or not, with a tank integrated.
Large capacity
An American fridge freezer is an impressive design statement in your kitchen. It has more space than traditional British ones. 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 that have two doors above a pull out drawer (also called French style American fridge freezers). They are usually freestanding, but you can opt to purchase integrated versions that are flush with the cabinetry.
These models aren't just big and spacious, but they also have additional features that make your life easier. They can also add a touch luxury to your home. For example, you could opt for a door mounted cooler and ice maker that will supply unlimited chilled water or crushed ice that you can pour directly from the fridge.
Of course, these additional items will take up space, and the freezer in your fridge is larger than the normal model. This can limit where you can put it and in the event that it's delivered to you, how easy it will be to get it in your home! It's a good idea to examine your doorways as well as any other spaces the freezer in your fridge will need to travel through prior to completing your purchase. This includes your front door, as well as any internal doors it'll have to pass through.
Convertible zones
American fridge freezers are equipped with plenty of storage space and numerous features that keep your food fresh. Models with convertible zones allow you to move the freezer compartment between freezer and fridge according to your needs. This is great for Christmas when you need more space for wine. There are also energy efficient models with an E rating like the Hisense RQ560N4WCF – our top pick from this range thanks to its holiday mode and dual cooling system that separates the fridge and freezer to prevent drying freezer air from damaging your chilled foods.
These American fridge freezers have water and ice dispensers built into the doors in order to save space. They are often plumbed-in and will require closing to your water source, so consider this before you buy. Most American fridge freezers are self-standing and can be a bit tricky to pass through doorways and into your home so take precise measurements and think about any hallways, stairs or corners you'll need to traverse before purchasing one. It's a good idea check here to have someone who can help you if needed.
Water & ice dispensers
Most American fridge freezers come with an integrated water dispenser to serve chilled, filtered or crushed ice at the touch of the button. It's a great way to inspire everyone in your household to drink plenty of water and also adds fun especially for kids.
Depending on the model, this feature could require plumbing or limit where you can place the appliance. You'll need a water-filter that needs to be changed every six months.
A dispenser that can dispense ice and water is not only handy, but it can also aid in preventing drinks and food from becoming cold or spoiling. It's also more easy to clean than having to empty and refill cube trays with ice on a regular basis.
Innovative and stylish, these freestanding models are a favourite on the Mumsnet forums, with a wealth of enthusiastic recommendations. The Russell Hobbs RH90FF176BWD features a digital LED display for temperature control as well as an electronic child lock that gives you peace of mind. It's got a large capacity and the freezer section is separated by shelves rather than drawers to create a sleek design. With an A+ energy rating, this fridge is also a good value to run. This fridge comes with a 2 year guarantee.
Aesthetics
It's not difficult to see that these huge kitchens are hugely attractive. They're designed to be the focal point of your kitchen and will surely draw attention. You can easily access your freezer drawers without having to dig into your cold storage. You'll also find an ice and water dispenser, ensuring that you can always have chilled, crystal-clear water and ice.
American-style fridge freezers can be a great option for people with large families or with plenty of food to store. They are available in a variety of finishes. Many models have flexible options such as reversible door and alarms when the door is opened.
For those who want an extra helping hand when it comes to keeping their food fresh, you should look for models with a glass panel on the freezer's door that lights up when you touch it. This allows you to know what's inside without opening the door, stopping the air from escaping and helping you save money on your energy bills. There are also fridges equipped with a handy salad crisper drawer to keep your vegetables neatly separated and healthy.
