American Fridge Freezer

Built-in American fridge freezers are a popular choice for families. They are usually equipped with sophisticated features. These sleek units are offered as stand-alone units or be pushed into a bank kitchen units to create an elegant look.

On average they offer 390 cubic litres of storage space, enough for about 20 shopping bags of food items. You can find models that have ice or water dispensers that do not require plumbing.

Size

American fridge freezers tend to be wider and more deep than UK models, which means they take up more room in your kitchen. If you're replacing an old American fridge freezer, or are planning to add one to the kitchen of a new open-plan design ensure you take measurements to ensure it's fit perfectly with no spaces or corners that can collect dust.

The larger size of the American fridge freezer indicates that it has a higher capacity than a standard UK model. This makes it ideal if you have a large family, frequently host house guests or wish to buy frozen food for quick meals.

This stately LG American-style side-by-side fridge freezer offers plenty of storage space for your fresh food. It comes with 4 shelves, 2 door bins and a nifty salad crisper. It also has an ice and water dispenser that is plugged in to make it easy.

Capacity

American fridge freezers can fit many food items into many models, and some have specific compartments as well as plumbed-in water and ice dispensers. They can also feature smart screens, which allow you to organize shopping lists and consult recipes.

A standard side-by-side model will have the capacity to store around 600 litres. This is enough for the majority of families. French door models with two full-length openings and access from the eye level can provide more storage space.

There are models that are smaller designed to fit into the cabinet. These models can also reduce energy consumption. You can also select an integrated fridge/freezer that integrates perfectly into the cabinet so that you can hide it away when not when not in use. These are ideal for smaller kitchens, or if you do not want to be confronted with a freezer that dominates the room.

Layout

As opposed to traditional top-freezers, which can be an unorganized mess with their freezer compartments labelled 'Joker' (or as we've heard), American fridge freezers are more organized and provide easier access to storage. The standard size of American fridge freezers is 90cm. Slimline models are also available. They're typically deeper, as well, at about 70cm.

Before you purchase an American-style refrigerator freezer, make sure your kitchen can accommodate the bigger size. Make sure to keep in mind that these appliances are freestanding and not integrated into an array of white goods that extend from floor to ceiling. They'll need plenty of space.

There are two major layouts available, both of which have full-length doors. The French door design is made up of a double door refrigerator section and freezer drawers below. Y more about this in the instruction manual for your appliance.

Non-plumbed

American fridge freezers with ice dispensers are a great alternative if you don't have a water supply or don't wish to pay the additional costs. These models can provide cold aqua cubes, crushed or cubed ice. Some even come with daily 144 ice cubes.

The appliances are large, with four shelves in the fridge cavity, two drawers for fruit and vegetables, as well as mini shelves on the door for commonly used items. They also come with various clever technology like air circulation that is fully encapsulated to prevent frost, and an easy-to-use flat-buttoned digital control panel that is both attractive and elegant.

LG offers a wide range of American-style fridge freezers, which include water and ice dispensers. You're sure find one that will suit your family. A majority of these models are energy STAR(r) certified also. This means they provide superior performance without sacrificing the quality or usability.
