American fridge freezers occupy plenty of space, so it is important to take your time measuring your kitchen to ensure that they can fit. You don't want to leave gaps or risk hitting it against other white appliances and damaging it.

Some manufacturers make slim American fridge freezers specifically for the UK market. They measure 70cm in width and come with all the style, technology and storage capacity you'd expect from a fridge.

Size

If you're limited in space in your kitchen, and you want to upgrade your kitchen with a bold American fridge freezer, opt for one of our slim models. At under 70cm wide they're thinner than the standard freestanding fridge and provide more useful storage capacity as well. They also look great when pushed back into a bank of kitchen units for a sleek feel.

Take a look at the dimensions carefully to make sure they will be suitable for your home. Be aware of the height, too - some models rise to over 180cm, which is too high for some homes. Use our refrigerator sizes guide to assess different models against one another - or ask a sales associate in the store for assistance.

It's worth looking at the energy efficiency of any American fridge freezer you consider buying. The ratings are identified with letters and range from A to, with A being the most efficient. Look for a model with an energy rating of 'E or higher to save money on utility bills. You may want to also examine the annual operating costs per kWh that are listed in the product's specifications. This can give you a complete picture of what it will cost to run your new appliance.

Capacity

American fridge freezers have plenty of space, so you can store your daily groceries. You'll want to look for models that can hold up to 700 litres of storage space - this is plenty of space for most families. There's often an additional freezer compartment as well as an automatic ice dispenser too and digital displays make it easy to monitor the amount of energy you use and make sure you've shut the door correctly.

Select a model with two cooling systems to keep the fridge and freezer at different temperatures.

Slimline American fridge freezers that are suited to smaller homes are readily available if you have a limited kitchen space.

Make sure you measure your cabinets before buying any white goods to ensure the new fridge freezer will fit. You should also allow room for ventilation at the sides, back and the top too.

Design

The beauty of a refrigerator freezer in the American style is that it can be pushed back to fit into the kitchen for a more sleek appearance or left standing as a statement piece. It's important to make sure that the new appliance will fit the space, regardless of whether you opt for a design that is stand-alone or one which is housed in cabinets. Make a note of how far away the appliance will be from your cooker so you can consider the clearance required for opening and shutting the doors. All refrigerators and freezers require some space around them to allow airflow.
