What Will American Freezer Fridge Be Like In 100 Years?
American Fridge Freezers
American fridge freezers provide a lot of space to store food and drinks. They're usually taller than standard UK designs, which makes them an excellent choice for open-plan kitchens.
Many have water and ice dispensers so chilled, refreshing drinks are always at hand. The plumbed-in models connect directly to the main water supply in contrast to the non-plumbed models, which utilize an integrated tank that you can easily replenish.
They're big
A typical American fridge freezer is a massive beast. It is typically larger than a standard freestanding model (up to 85cm in average) and with two doors that are the size of a cupboard, these freezers can provide you with a staggering 390 litres of storage space - enough to hold 20 supermarket bags of shopping!
They also have various other features that help keep your food fresh and chilled for longer. Keep an eye out for features like automated defrost, the latest air circulation technology to keep an even temperature and door mounted water and ice dispensers.
Our selection of budget American refrigerator freezers are energy-efficient too, with a high A-rated rating or better, meaning they're excellent value for money and will reduce your expenses. They're also easy to pay for with flexible payment options such as Klarna and PayPal Credit available.
Be aware that fridge freezers are also quite large - so don't forget the width of your internal and front doors when you take measurements. Getting one delivered to your home can be a challenge, so make sure you are able to get it into the space you'd like before purchasing. Some models have a mini-bar door that can be folded down to allow for easier access without letting cold air escape. This feature is offered on a number of our lesser-priced brands such as Hisense, Haier and Hotpoint.
They're bold
American-style fridge freezers come with two doors that extend outwards from the middle. In the UK they are sometimes called side-by-side fridge freezers, but certain American-style models have a fridge on top and a freezer drawer underneath.
As well as their size, these fridge freezers are usually packed with useful features. Be sure to look for things like a door-mounted water and Ice dispenser, which will keep your drinks chilled and hydrated without taking up valuable counter space, or an energy efficiency rating. The new system that came into effect in 2021 makes it difficult to locate a fridge-freezer that has an A+++ rating. However, if you're looking for an excellent starting point, consider the C-E range.

It's chic
The main difference between an American fridge freezer and the more traditional larder-style fridge freezers we're accustomed to here in the UK is the size. American models are a lot bigger, with full length double doors. These are great for families who prefer to stock up in order to save money on shopping trips, and for large family meals or gatherings during Christmas time.
Apart from their massive storage capacity, American fridge freezers also are elegant, with sleek finishes and cutting-edge technology. Choose from a range of colours to match your kitchen, such as black, silver and white. There are models with filters and ice, which offer instant cold drinks and Ice cubes. Certain models have zones that can be converted from fridge to freezer, for example when you need to store leftovers or party food.
One thing to bear in mind when you are using American fridge freezers is that they can be quite heavy so you'll require a helper to move them in your kitchen. It's crucial that the doors are able to fully open, so that it is easy to access them. Many come with intelligent features, such as OptimalFresh Plus boxes which can be set to two different temperatures for different kinds of foods, and Dual Cooling that prevents dry freezer air from drying the frozen goods and preventing the spread of smells.
They're practical
With long cupboard-style doors that are set over a freezer, American fridge freezers have distinctive design and make an attractive focal point within your kitchen. They can also be the look of luxury with models that come with an ice maker as well as a cold water dispenser built inside the door.
Many of these appliances are available with or without plumbing to suit your lifestyle and home. They also offer a variety of useful features that make them more useful. Total No Frost technology eliminates ice and you'll never have to manually defrost your appliance again. LED displays permit easy temperature control.
There are plenty of additional storage options that these models offer that include deep pockets for milk bottles and juice bottles. You can also select the model with an adjustable zone.

You can refill the reservoir with water from your faucet, and drink fresh, filtered drinking water straight from the dispenser.
