What The Heck Is American-Style Fridge

American-Style Fridge Freezers

There's plenty to love about a fridge freezer that's American-style - they're big and bold enough to be a real style statement in your kitchen. They're also incredibly practical with plenty of storage space as well as a range of features like ice and water dispensers.

But, it's worth keeping a few things to keep in mind prior to purchasing one.

Size

American fridge freezers are usually larger than standard UK models, providing you with a huge amount of space to stock up your groceries. The average size can hold up to 38 bags of food items, which is perfect for families that have a big appetite and often entertain guests. Pick a model with an integrated water and ice dispenser for easy chilled drinks on demand. Our range includes both slimline models for smaller spaces, and larger double-door models that can accommodate the whole family.

You can also find American fridge freezers in different finishes to suit your kitchen. From sleek silver and sophisticated black to a minimalist white finish or something more striking, you'll be able to match the new fridge freezer to the color scheme of your kitchen or create a striking piece on its own.

We have models from leading brands that will make you sure that the quality is of the highest standard. Our collection also includes fridge freezers with an A rating for energy efficiency, so you can feel good about the environmental impact of your new purchase, while saving money on your electric costs.

When you are choosing an American fridge freezer, it is important to take measurements of the space you'll be placing it prior to buying. You should check that you have enough room for it to open and close its doors comfortably and also any drawers or shelves inside. We recommend planning your kitchen route with the appliance to check for difficult spots to navigate. It is important to ensure that you're able to reach your favorite snacks, too!

Aesthetics

American-style fridge freezers aren't only about their size, however. They can be an excellent way to impress your friends and family members with your food and drink. They also usually have a number of features that other fridges do not, such as water and ice dispensers, digital displays and fancy fruit and vegetable drawers for longer-lasting freshness.

The color options for refrigerators are also more diverse than other appliances. This means that you can pick a model that fit your kitchen. The stainless steel models that are brushed are the most attractive, since they blend seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an elegant yet subtle design statement.

The latest American-style refrigerators are also fitted with a variety of smart technologies that can cut down on food waste, and make your life easier. Samsung's Bespoke refrigerators, which were introduced at CES 2021 and can be tailored to meet your specific needs. They are available in various sizes and colors. You can also install a 21.5-inch Android Tablet that provides access to the internet and a range of apps, like shopping lists, calendars, recipes, messages, pictures and timers, among others. It even recognizes your voice and answer your queries like Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey!

Of of course, not everyone would like an elegant fridge. You might prefer a less flashy, but equally practical model such as the iQ500 from SMEG. It comes in a range of classic retro colors. It features a nonplumbed water dispenser, which allows you to dispense cold, clean water and instant ice.

Stores

American fridge freezers are bigger than their British counterparts, allowing you to store and preserve more food items until you're ready to consume it. They are perfect for large families as well as those who host frequent guests. They can also be utilized by anyone looking to buy in bulk or at a discounted price to reduce the waste.

You'll find a broad range of storage options in an american-style fridge from drawers to shelves. Some are equipped with adjustable shelves which makes it easy to customize your basement fridge to accommodate different sizes of food and drinks containers. Door racks are ideal for storing condiments like ketchup, mustard, and pasteurised juices. Freezer drawers are perfect for frozen meats as well as vegetables and New fridge bread. It is recommended not to store milk in the doorway as it is more vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and may get spoiled faster.

It's not difficult to see that a well-stocked and organized refrigerator is captivating to look at. A fridge that's neatly organized will not only look nice, but it will also help you save money and reduce the smells that fill your fridge. The good thing is that it's relatively simple to achieve, particularly if you have the right kitchen accessories.

Utilize storage containers and containers with clear labels to create an orderly system for your food items. You won't have to look for a container or wonder what the odd green blob at the bottom of your fridge is. Use bins, baskets, and clear plastic containers to keep different kinds of food items, and invest in some industrial fridge door racks ($13, Amazon) to store jars and bottles.

Energy efficiency

American fridge freezers can provide a modern flair to your kitchen. Their large storage capacities allow you to squeeze in a lot of your weekly shopping, while also keeping food fresh for a longer period of time. However, they can also be costly to operate due to their energy consumption. You can reduce your electricity bill by as much as 50% when you choose an appliance that has higher energy efficiency ratings. Choose models that have the higher A or A+ energy label as they will consume less energy than those that have less of a rating.

Energy efficient refrigerators can save you a substantial amount of money in the long run. A refrigerator that has low carbon emissions will also help reduce the impact of your home on the environment. Some models also come with an automatic holiday mode that changes the freezer in the fridge to a low-power setting while you're away.

You can find many energy-efficient fridges that offer features like an automatic ice maker or twin cooling systems. This feature can help improve energy efficiency because it separates freezer and fridge sections. This prevents warmer refrigerator air from freezing the bottom of your refrigerator.

If you're looking for an American fridge freezer with a smaller footprint, consider opting for one that is slimline. These can be as little as 70cm in width, making them suitable for UK homes with a smaller amount of space. These models are often side-by-side, and have an extra freezer compartment on top of the refrigerator. This means you don't have to bend over to get your frozen food. They are available in a variety of styles, such as silver and stainless steel.

Buying a new fridge freezer

American fridge freezers are an excellent addition to any kitchen and offer plenty of storage. They're perfect for anyone who wants to keep a variety of fresh ingredients, regardless of whether they're a foodie, a parent, or entertainer.

You'll find models in a variety of colours to complement your kitchen with sleek black, which can really add to the look. Many models come with door racks that let you keep larger bottles and cartons upright, freeing up space for other items. There are a variety of water and ice dispensers that let you get ice cold water for drinking or crushed ice on demand.

It is also important to choose an energy-efficient model for American refrigerator freezers. They're typically turned on throughout the day, which means they require a good level of energy efficiency to reduce your monthly utility bills. Check for the Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) label, which is displayed on all our models. A higher EER rating is more efficient.

Don't forget to think about the installation and delivery of your new appliance. It is essential to determine the width and height of your entryway, as well as any steps or doors the appliance will need to pass through to access your kitchen. You can then compare these measurements with the dimensions of your chosen model to ensure it will fit before buying. You can employ a handyman or a strong man to help you move it up and down the staircase.
