What is an American-Style Fridge Freezer?

American-style fridge freezers are a popular choice for UK consumers. But what is an American-style fridge freezer? And which one is the best for you and your home? In this blog, we’ll look at the five best American-style fridge freezers available here at Reliant so that you can make the best decision for your needs. Read on to find out more.

American-style fridge freezers are a type of tall fridge freezer unit that differs from the standard models we’re used to here in the UK. Rather than a single door, American-style fridge freezers tend to feature double doors that open in the middle. For that reason, they’re often known as ‘double door fridge freezers’ or ‘side-by-side American fridge freezers’. These spacious fridge freezers also come in a variety of configurations.

The classic American-style fridge freezer features two long doors running top to bottom. But you’ll also find others with four smaller doors to separate the fridge and freezer sections and other models that swap lower doors for drawers instead. You’ll also notice that many American-style fridge freezers come with in-built ice and water dispensers that are either plumbed or non-plumbed (using a removable, refillable water tank).

Tips for Selecting the Best American Fridge Freezer

As with any white goods, there are a few things to consider in your search for the best American fridge freezer. Price will, of course, be a major concern, and you should expect to budget around £1,500 to £2,000 for a high-quality, mid-range American-style fridge freezer. The size will also be important, both in terms of how much internal storage you need and the amount of floor or unit space you have available in your kitchen.

You’ll also want to ensure you’re buying from a reputable manufacturer. Here at Reliant, our stock comes from the best brands for fridge freezers, including Hotpoint, LG, Rangemaster and Samsung. Then there’s the question of functionality. Do you simply need an efficient fridge freezer, or do you want extra mod-cons, like voice control or automatic door opening? Finally, don’t forget the colour and energy rating of your appliance.
