American Style Fridge Freezers

A fridge freezer with an American style will make an impression. They're larger than traditional models and hold a huge amount of food, with some having more advanced functions such as holiday modes and smart displays.

Some have water and ice dispensers that are either plumbed in or with non-plumbed options drawing from an integrated tank.

Large capacity

A traditional British fridge freezer offers less space and isn't as stylish. A stylish American fridge freezer will be a focal point in your kitchen. This lets you store more food for large families or even more shopping options if you are catering for many guests.

There are models with double doors, or designs that have two doors over an open drawer (also called French style American fridge freezers). They are usually freestanding, but you may opt to purchase integrated versions that sit flush against the cabinetry.

These large models are not just spacious but also have additional features that will make your life easier. They can also provide a touch of luxury to your home. For instance, you could, choose a door-mounted cool water dispenser or crushed ice machine which will supply unlimited chilled water.

These extras can take up space and make the fridge freezer bigger than the standard version. This can limit the space you can place it or, if you're having one delivered or delivered, how easily you'll get it into your house! Before you buy it's a good idea to measure the doorways and other spaces where your refrigerator freezer will have to fit. This includes your front entrance as well as any internal doors it'll have to manoeuvre through.

Convertible zones

As well as giving you plenty of storage space, American fridge freezers have numerous features to help keep your food in top condition. Choose models with convertible zones that allow you to switch the freezer compartment from fridge to freeze to suit your needs (ideal during the Christmas season when you're looking for more space to store wine). There are also energy efficient options with an E rating like the Hisense RQ560N4WCF - our top pick from this range thanks to its holiday mode and dual cooling system which separates the fridge and freezer to stop dry freezer air affecting your chilled food items.

These American refrigerator freezers come with ice and water dispensers built into the doors to save space. They are often plumbed-in and will require closing to your water supply, so be aware of this prior to purchasing. The majority of American fridge freezers are freestanding and can be a bit difficult to navigate through doorways and into your house, so consider accurately measuring and thinking about any hallways, stairs or corners you'll have to pass through before buying one. If you can, consider hiring someone to help you out in the event of need.

Water & ice dispensers

The majority of American refrigerator freezers are equipped with an integrated water dispenser to provide chilled, filtered or crushed ice at the push of a button. It's an excellent way to encourage everyone in your family to drink plenty of water and can be a great way to have fun, especially for children.

Depending on the model you select this feature may require plumbing and could restrict the location of your appliance. The water-filter is replaced every six months.

Apart from being an important convenience, the ice and water dispenser can also help prevent beverages and food from going cold or rotting. It's also much more easy to clean than having to empty and replenish tray trays of ice cubes on regular basis.

These freestanding models are stylish and ingenuous. They have received a lot of positive recommendations on Mumsnet forums. The Russell Hobbs RH90FF176BWD features a digital LED display for temperature control and a child lock to give peace of assurance. The freezer section is divided by shelves instead of drawers, giving the appearance of a sleek. With an A+ energy rating, this fridge is also very economical to run.

If you're looking for some extra assistance in keeping their groceries fresh, check out models with a glass panel on the freezer's door that turns on when you touch it. This lets you view what's inside without having to open the door. It also prevents the air from venting out, saving you money. There are fridges that come with a salad ice maker drawer to keep your veggies neatly separated and fresh.
