American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers are a great kitchen accessory, with lots of space to store drinks and food. They're typically taller than normal UK models, making them an ideal choice for kitchens with open spaces.

Many homes have water and ice dispensers so chilled refreshing drinks are always on hand. Plumbed-in options connect directly to your water supply, while non-plumbed models use an integral tank you can refill quickly.
