How to Choose the Smallest American Fridge Freezer

American fridge freezers are huge and take up lots of space. It's crucial to check the dimensions of your kitchen to make sure that it will fit. There's no need to empty a space or risk damaging other white appliances by banging into it.

Certain manufacturers offer slim American refrigerator freezers specifically designed for the UK market. They measure 70cm in width and have all the style, technology and storage capacity you'd expect.

Size

At under 70cm wide they're narrower than the standard freestanding appliance - and offer more usable storage capacity too. They look great when pushed back against a set of kitchen cabinets, creating sleeker appearance.

Take a look at the dimensions carefully to ensure they be suitable for your home. Note the height too - many models reach more than 180cm. This could be too tall for certain homes. Use our refrigerator size guide to find the best models. Or ask an associate at the counter for help.

You should also consider the energy efficiency rating of any American fridge-freezer you're thinking of purchasing. The ratings are indicated with an 'E' and range from A-F. A is the most efficient. Choose a model with an energy rating of 'E' or better to cut down on your energy bills. You might want to examine the annual operating costs per kWh listed in the product details. This can give you a complete estimate of what it will cost to run your new appliance.

Capacity

American fridge freezers are spacious and have plenty of space, so you can keep your weekly groceries. You should look for models that can hold up to 700 litres of storage space - that's enough space for the majority of families. There's typically a separate freezer as well as an automatic dispenser. Digital displays let you track the energy usage of your home and make sure the door is closed properly.

Choose a model with two cooling systems to keep the freezer and fridge at different temperatures. This stops the cold, dry air from the freezer from dehydrating the food stored in the refrigerator and can help stop the transfer of smells. It can be up to 10 percent more efficient than single zone appliances, and can reduce your annual electric bill.
