American Freezer

American freezers create a bold style presence in any kitchen, and have huge capacity. Some models can hold up to 38 bags of food items – ideal for families seeking to reduce the number of shopping trips.

They’re equipped with the latest technology for food freshness that keeps food items at the ideal temperature to preserve flavour and texture. A lot of them also have water and ice dispensers, either plumbed or non-plumbed to provide chilled water and ice with the click of one button.

Size

As the name suggests, American fridge freezers tend to be larger than standard English models. This means they take up more space in your kitchen but also offer more capacity. It’s important to consider the amount of space you’ll require for your family and how you cook. 11 to 13 cubic feet is ideal for two people, while 18 to 22 cubic feet is best for three to four people, and 28 cubic feet are suitable for five or more people. Once you have figured out the number of cubic feet you need you can narrow your choices based on the brand, size, and energy rating.

The modern American-style refrigerator freezers come with a variety of clever features that can enhance your kitchen experience. For instance, a full air circulation helps reduce the accumulation of frost, while useful 0@ drawers are perfect to keep your fresh food at the right temperature for optimal storage capacity. There’s also the option of switching between freezer and fridge at the touch of a button, to meet your needs for the day.

Customers are also spoilt for choice when it comes down to color and brand. Stainless steel and retro-style finishes are very popular. When it’s time for an refill of chilled water or ice, you can utilize the integrated water dispensers that offer instant filtered water or fresh ice with the push of a button.

The most common American fridge freezer is a double-door model with a fridge on one side and an freezer on the other. However, there are models with splits of either 50-50 or 60-40. They’re also available in side-by-side or French door styles and you can pick the layout that suits your home.

Many models don’t require plumbing and instead use water jugs with removable lids that you can refill at your kitchen taps. This can save you money on plumbing and lets you put your American freezer in any space in your kitchen without worrying about the water pipes.

Style

American fridge freezers have a larger capacity to store food than their British counterparts. These huge appliances can store between 11 and 38 grocery bags worth of food, which is ideal for those who want to stock up on or reduce your weekly shop.

The classic American design has a freezer drawer system at the bottom with a double door fridge on top, which provides an eye-level view of your food and drinks without opening both doors, preventing cold air from escaping. A majority of models come with an water and ice dispenser which will make your kitchen look more luxurious.

Some of the more modern American style fridge freezers have an elegant, minimalist design with flat doors and recessed handles that blend into the cabinetry of your kitchen. They’re a great choice if you’re looking to create a more seamless kitchen design and they’re available in a variety of modern colors, including stainless steel, graphite and black.

Our range includes both plumbed and un-plumbed American refrigerator freezers. The models with a plumbed connection are connected to the mains water supply, so you can dispense cold chilled drinks, filtered drinks and ice on demand. Non-plumbed models have an evaporative tank that can be filled and refilled when needed.

Our extensive range of American-style fridge freezers include models by top brands such as Samsung, Hotpoint and Hisense. We have a variety of finishes to fit any budget and tastes, so whether you want shiny silver, a minimalist white finish, or sophisticated black, you’re bound to find an American-style fridge freezer that you like.

In addition to their size, the most significant difference between an American fridge freezer and a standard British model is that American fridge freezers are much deeper than a conventional fridge or freezer, so you’ll need to have enough clearance in front of your kitchen doorways so that it can fit comfortably. It’s also important to remember that they’re typically too deep to manoeuvre through the front doorways, so it’s best to have them delivered and installed in your kitchen before you buy one if you’re unsure about how to get it into your home.

Technology

American fridge freezers come with a variety of useful features that make it easier to keep track of the contents and avoid a ‘frozen mess’. This includes a frost-free refrigerator and a handy divider to separate the refrigerated compartment from the frozen portion which makes it easier for you to locate the items you require. There are many racks and shelves that can accommodate any size of bottles and containers and door-mounted dispensers of chilled water and ice that you can use when you need a refreshing drink.

They also tend to have smart screens that allow you to make shopping lists, look up recipes and monitor your inventory amongst other handy tasks. They also use more sophisticated insulation to ensure energy efficiency as well as a constantly cool, frost-free interior that will preserve the freshness of your food and leftovers.

They are available in a variety of styles to fit your kitchen layout. There’s a style for everyone and everything from the stacked design which is flush with your cabinets to the Side by Side style which divides the fridge and freezer vertically.

If you’re choosing a model that has a plumbed system with modern ice and water dispensers, then it’s going to need to be connected to your main water supply, so keep this in mind when you plan your kitchen remodel. You can still purchase non-plumbed American fridge freezers that work similar to as everyday fridge freezers but you’ll need to refill them manually using your own water filter and ice.

Many people are concerned due to their size and cavernous capacity, American fridge freezers will cause a huge burden on your household’s electricity bills. However, manufacturers have improved the technology used in these giant appliances to use much less energy than their smaller counterparts. You can purchase appliances with an A +++, energy rating, which means they are cheap to run despite their size. This information can be found in the specifications of the appliance or by reading our guide on choosing the most energy-efficient refrigerator freezer.

Energy

An American freezer is more expensive to run than a conventional fridge freezer due to its bigger size. However, don’t be swayed by the hype surrounding the size of the freezer and capacities. American fridge freezers can often offer more than enough space for the average family and come with plenty of useful features, such as a frost free freezer and door alarms.

No matter how big, American freezers can be just as efficient as their smaller counterparts if they take the time to look around and choose one with an energy rating. Fridges that have an energy rating that is lower will consume more power to cool down and defrost.

The design of an American fridge freezer can also impact its energy efficiency. They have compartments that are divided vertically. This means that they can be more efficient than fridge freezers that have the frozen and fresh food compartments stacked together. To find the most efficient American freezer for your budget, it’s essential to compare the costs of different models and check the reviews of each model before making a purchase. This will give you an idea of how the American freezer performs and whether it’s worth the price.

It is also recommended to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to learn the most effective temperatures and storage techniques for your appliance. This will allow you to keep your appliance running at its best and avoid any damage that may be caused by misuse or overuse.

You can also cut down on the amount of energy your American freezer consumes by implementing other energy saving practices. You can cut down on energy consumption by up to 30% by removing food that you do not want to eat, utilizing the deep-freeze setting for larger items and cleaning your freezer. This is especially applicable if you’re looking for an American fridge freezer that has an ENERGY STAR(r) or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) acquisition guidance. You will reduce your costs while reducing your environmental impact.
