American Fridge Freezers

American fridge freezers offer a lot of space to store food and drinks. They tend to be larger and larger than UK models which makes them a great option for kitchens that are open.

Many homes have water and ice dispensers so chilled, refreshing drinks are always on hand. The models with a plumbed-in connection connect directly to the mains supply of water and ice, whereas the models that aren't plumbed use an integral tank that allows you to easily replenish.

They're big

A typical Russell Hobbs 442L American Fridge Freezer - Stainless Steel fridge freezer is a huge beast. The typical fridge freezer is larger than a freestanding model (up to 85cm in average) and with two doors that are sized to fit in a cupboard, these freezers offer 390 litres of space - enough for 20 supermarket carrier bags of shopping!

They also have numerous other features that help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Be on the lookout for features such as automated defrost and advanced air circulation technology to maintain an even temperature, and door-mounted dispensers for water and ice.

Our affordable American fridge freezers come with an energy efficiency rating of A which means they're an excellent value and can lower your bills. And they're easy to pay for using flexible payment options such as Klarna and PayPal Credit available.

Don't forget that refrigerators are also quite large - so make sure you consider the width of your front and internal doors when you're measuring. It's not easy to transport one, so check that you can accommodate it in the space before purchasing. If you're worried about accessibility to the unit, some models come with the mini bar door that folds down for ease of access without letting cold air escape. This feature is offered in a number of our less expensive brands, such as Hisense American Fridge Freezer - Sleek Stainless Steel Haier and Hotpoint.

It's bold

Unlike the tall, upright fridge freezers the majority of us are familiar with, American-style models have two doors which open from the center outwards. In the UK they are often referred to as side-by-side fridge freezers. However, some American-style models feature the fridge on top, and a freezer drawer below.

In addition to their size, fridge freezers are often packed with useful features. You should look for features such as doors that have water and an Ice dispenser, which will keep your drinks cold and hydrated, without taking up counter space, and an energy efficiency rating. The new system that came into effect in 2021 will make it harder to find a fridge with an A++plus rating. However, if you're looking for an excellent start, check out the C-E range.
