Before making a purchase, you should measure the space you intend to place your American fridge-freezer. Check that the fridge freezer is able to open and close its door comfortably. Also, check if there are shelves or drawers within. We suggest designing your kitchen's layout with the appliance so you can check for difficult spots to navigate. You'll also want to ensure that you are able to access all your favorite snacks!

Aesthetics

The size of refrigerator freezers that are American-style isn't the only thing that makes them stand out. They are often a fashionable feature in kitchens and are an impressive way to display your wealth and taste to friends and family. They also come with a range of features that other refrigerators do not, such as water and ice dispensers with digital displays, as well as fancy fruit and vegetable drawers that will last longer.

Fridges also tend to have a greater range of colour choices than other types of appliances, which means you can choose a model that complements your kitchen. The stainless steel models that are brushed are especially eye-catching, as they blend in with the kitchen to create an elegant yet subtle design statement.

The latest American-style fridges have a range of smart technologies that can reduce food waste and make your life easier. For instance, the Samsung Bespoke line of fridges (which was introduced at CES in 2021) can be custom-built according to your requirements using an array of colors and sizes. You can install a 21.5-inch Android Tablet that provides access to the internet and a variety of apps, such as shopping lists, calendars recipes, messages, pictures, timers, etc. It will recognize your voice and answer your questions, just like Hal 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Of course, not everyone needs a smart fridge. You may opt for a model that's less attractive, but also more practical such as the iQ 500 from SMEG which comes with a variety of classic retro-styled finishes. It also comes with an unplumbed water dispenser located on the right-hand side of the door, allowing you to dispense cold, clean filtered water and instant ice.

Stores

American fridge freezers are more spacious than their British counterparts. This allows you to store more food items and keep it chilled until you are ready to consume it. These are ideal for large families and those who have frequent guests. They can also be used by anyone who wishes to buy in bulk or at a discount to avoid waste.

There is a wide range of storage options in the American-style fridge larder including drawers and shelves. Some have adjustable shelves, making it easy to customize your fridge to accommodate different sizes of food and drinks containers. Door racks work well for storing condiments such as mustard, ketchup and pasteurised juices. Freezer drawers are ideal for frozen meats, vegetables, and bread. It is advised not to store milk in the door, as it will be more susceptible to temperature fluctuations and can be more prone to spoiling.

It's not difficult to see that a well-stocked and organised refrigerator is captivating to look at. A fridge that is well organized will not only look nice but also aid in saving money and eliminate the smells in your fridge. The good thing is that it's relatively simple to achieve, particularly when you have the right kitchen equipment.

Utilize storage containers and containers with clear labels to create an orderly system for your food items. You'll never have to search for a container or wonder what the mysterious green blob at the bottom of your fridge is. Use baskets, bins and clear plastic containers to divide different kinds of food and invest in refrigerator door racks ($13, Amazon) to keep bottles and jars.

Energy efficiency

American fridge freezers are a great way to add a modern look to your kitchen. They come with large storage capacities that will allow you to store a large amount of your daily groceries while still keeping the food fresh. However, they can also be expensive to run due to their energy consumption. The good thing is that you could significantly reduce your electricity bills by choosing an appliance with a higher energy efficiency rating. Appliances that have an A or A+ energy rating consume less power than models with lower ratings.

You can save a lot of money by investing in energy efficient refrigerators. A fridge that has a low carbon emissions rating can help reduce the impact of your household on the environment too. Certain models come with a holiday mode that automatically switches the freezer of your refrigerator to a power saving setting when you're away.

There are many energy-efficient fridges with features like an automated ice maker or twin cooling systems. This can help improve efficiency by separating fridge and freezer sections, and preventing the warmer air in your fridge from causing freezing issues in the freezer's bottom.

If you're seeking an American fridge freezer with smaller footprint, think about going for one that is slimline. They can be as small as 70cm, making them suitable for UK homes with less available space. These models are often in a pair, and feature an extra freezer compartment on top of the refrigerator. This means that you won't have to bend down to get your frozen food. They are available in a variety of different styles, like silver or stainless steel.

Shopping for a New Fridge Freezer

American fridge freezers can be a real kitchen accessory and provide copious storage space. If you're a foodie that likes to keep a range of fresh ingredients at hand, a parent with a hungry family to feed or a keen entertainer with a crowd to impress, these freezers will let you keep everything from snacks and fizzy drinks to leftovers from parties and meals.

There are models available in a variety of colors, including sleek black that can enhance the look. A lot of models have door racks that let you store larger containers and bottles upright, freeing up shelves for other things. There are also a variety of plumbed dispensers for water and ice which allow you to get instant ice cold drinking water or crushed frozen ice to serve cocktails on demand.

Selecting a model that is energy efficient is essential for American refrigerator freezers. They are usually on all day so they need to be energy efficient to reduce your household expenses. Check for the Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) label, which is visible on all our models - a higher EER rating will be more efficient.

Don't forget to consider the delivery and installation of your new appliance. It is essential to determine the height, width and depth of your home's entrance as well as any doors or steps it will need to go through before it can enter your kitchen. Compare these measurements with the dimensions of the model you're considering to ensure it will fit. If you need to, you can always hire a strong man or handyman to help you get it into the stairs if necessary.
