When selecting a brand new American fridge freezer take the time to carefully measure your space. You should also take into consideration the height to ensure that you can fit it into the space and also to ensure that you don't knock into any cabinets or doors when opening. If you're buying a plumbed in model remember you'll need to make sure it is located near a water supply.

Style

The 'American-style ' fridge freezer is a broad term that refers to the huge models that are popular with large families. They usually have double doors that open to cupboard-size. This traditional design lets you access your food at eye level without opening the entire appliance, allowing you to conserve energy by only opening one door at a go and minimising cold air loss and thereby reducing the cost of energy.

The majority of the models in our range are freestanding, and can be set up as a striking accent piece or put back into a set of kitchen units for more sleek appearance.

Energy

The fact that American fridge-freezers are more powerful than UK models doesn't mean they cost more to run. Modern manufacturing techniques, as well as energy efficiency demands by customers are causing these large appliances consume less power than you may think.

It's a common belief that the bigger the fridge freezer, more expensive its running costs. But this isn't the situation. It's often down to the location of the compressor - which is next to a larger vertical freezer compartment. It gets hot quickly, meaning it requires more effort to keep things cool.

You can find American fridge freezers that have A+ energy ratings and low noise levels. You can also look for extra features to cut down on the cost of grocery shopping for example, air circulation that stops the accumulation of frost, and fancy 0@ fruit and veg drawers to ensure long-lasting freshness.

Remember that large kitchen appliances are typically very heavy. You'll want to make sure that they fit through the front and interior doors when it arrives, particularly in the case of an upper floor apartment. The retailer should remove and reattach the fridge freezer door when they deliver the appliance if they are concerned. You can also employ an expert handyman.
