There are many things to consider when buying your new American style fridge freezer and we will go through each of these considerations now to help you choose the right product.

How much space to do I have?

The most important thing to consider when looking at American style fridge freezers is how much room to do you have available in your kitchen? Obviously, these appliances are larger than standard and so you need to look at the width, height and depth of models – work out these measurements first before you start looking – you don’t want to fall in love with one appliance only to find it’s too big to fit into your kitchen!

How much will my new American style fridge freezer allow me to store?

One of the major drawcards of these appliances is that they can store a great deal more than standard fridge freezers – in fact, some are over 20 cu ft which is double the size of the standard – ideal for families! Have a think about what your requirements are – do you mostly prepare your own food – therefore needing a larger fridge section? Or do you like to buy a lot of frozen foods and so need a larger freezer area?

Can I still find an American style fridge freezer that is energy efficient?

Yes you can! There are many American style fridge freezers that have A+ and A energy efficiency ratings, so you can feel happy that you are saving on your electricity bill and also helping the environment.

Considerations regarding water and ice dispensers

Many American style fridge freezers have a water and ice dispenser and these can rely on either stored or plumbed in for their water supply.

With stored water, you will need to refill it when it runs out. A plumbed in model will need to be placed within 1m of a standard washing machine/dishwasher connector (cold fill only) – so be sure to consider this when choosing your new appliance.

Extra Features to Consider

Frost Free – this is so important – one of the worst jobs in the kitchen is defrosting a fridge freezer!

Antibacterial Protection – This is very clever! It is built into the lining of the fridge freezer to stop the growth of bacteria and this also has the benefit of reducing odours. It lasts for the life of the appliance.
