American-style fridge freezers – our pick of the best
Looking for an American-style fridge freezer? There's much more to choosing this cool appliance than just good looks. Here's our pick of the best to aid you
The fridge freezer is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen and as technology has moved on, you'll want to consider new designs to make the right choice for your home. As entertaining at home becomes more popular, so have American-style fridge freezers. The main difference between traditional fridge freezers and American style is that the fridge and freezer sections are often side by side, or alternatively with double doors at the top and deep freezer drawers beneath. Some models have extra features such as integrated water and ice dispensers at the front for added convenience. Do you like salad crisp to the bite and your wine chilled to perfection? Ample interior storage and stay-fresh technologies make the latest large-capacity models an attractive choice. Clever extras, such as handy built-in ice and water dispensers, are tempting and add a level of convenience and luxury. All-singing, all-dancing, large American-style designs often include this function. Let us help you find your perfect design.
