Fridges American Style

A popular choice on the Mumsnet forums, American style fridge freezers can make a stunning free standing statement feature in open kitchens or be tucked away into a collection of minimalist kitchen units. These models also come with more features than integrated models.

There is a vast array of designs to choose from, from double doors that are split horizontally to the more popular side-by-side design. They can be plumbed or unplumbed and have a range of extra features like water and ice options.

Inconspicuous Design

In fashion design, conspicuous seams are intended to be a noticeable feature and contribute to the overall look like the contrast-colored topstitching of denim jeans. On the other hand, inconspicuous seams are designed to blend into the background and be hidden, like the stitching hidden in the seams on the sides of a formal dress.


In addition, some luxury brands have started to make their logos less prominent by concealing them (in the lining of a bag instead of on the exterior), or even making them optional. This can help maintain the brand's image and stop the product from becoming too easily available.

Freezer Drawers

The freezer drawers in American style refrigerators are an excellent addition to make it easier to store frozen food items and to access them easily. The freezer drawers on American style fridges are a helpful feature that make it easier to store and access frozen items.

The majority of refrigerator freezers have a crisper compartment that can be used for storing fruit, vegetables, and salads. The drawers can be adjusted for a higher or a lower amount of moisture based on what you wish to keep. The fridge can also change the temperature to fit your food's needs and keep it fresher for longer.

In contrast to traditional fridges, freezers or combination models that are built in or hidden behind cabinets, American style fridges and freezers are a freestanding appliance, so they can be placed anywhere you like. Having said that they are generally larger than traditional appliances, which makes it difficult to place them in tight or cramped spaces. Check your hallways and doorways to make sure you are able to fit these large freezers in your space.

The most commonly used configuration of an American style fridge freezer is the side by side model. Frydge features a tall refrigerator compartment on the right and a tall freezer compartment on the left that has an easy access from either. This reduces the need to bend over as you can see all your food upright. There are models with doors with four doors, like our PC900 range, which provides direct access to every part of the appliance, without having to open larger doors and lose cool air.

Fast Freeze

Fridges American style offer a lot of storage space as well as many extra features. They also look stunning. The fridge freezers in this range are energy efficient, well-constructed and include a range of useful features to make the kitchen more convenient.

For example, many models have a fast freeze feature, which can bring any new food items added to the freezer down to a frozen temperature quickly. This can help maintain the quality and freshness of food that is stored in the refrigerator.

Some models let you observe the inside of the fridge without opening the door, thanks to clever features like LG InstaView or Samsung Family Hub. There are also features like an open door alert that will notify you if the fridge is not closed. This could cause it to lose its energy efficiency.

The fridge freezers in this selection are available in both plumbed and unplumbed, so you can choose where you want to position it in your home. They also all have EcoSmart labels which let you know how much energy they use. Be sure to look for the label that has an A rating to ensure you're getting the best efficiency in energy usage.
