Fridges American Style
A popular choice on the Mumsnet forums, American style fridge freezers can make an impressive free-standing feature in open plan kitchens or be set back into a collection of minimalist kitchen units. They also provide a wider range of extra features over other integrated models.
There is a vast array of styles to choose from, from double doors that open horizontally, to the more popular side-by-side design. They can be plumbed or not and come with plenty of additional features such as ice and water options.
Inconspicuous Design
In fashion design, conspicuous seams are meant to be prominent and add to the overall look such as the brightly colored topstitch on denim jeans. The seams that are not noticeable, on the other hand, are designed to blend into the background and be concealed. For instance the hidden stitches on the seams on the sides of formal dresses.
Likewise, some luxury brands have started to make their logos less noticeable by hiding them (in the lining of a bag instead of on the exterior), or even making them non-existent. This can help preserve the exclusivity of the brand, and also prevent the product becoming too accessible.
Freezer Drawers
The freezer drawers of American style refrigerators are a great addition to help you store frozen foods and access them. The freezer drawers on American style fridges are a helpful feature that makes it easier to store and access frozen food items.
Most of our refrigerator freezers come with a crisper drawer which can be used to store fruit as well as salads, vegetables and fruits. These drawers can be adjusted for a higher or a lower level of moisture depending on what you need to keep. The fridge can also alter the temperature to fit your food's needs and keep it fresher for longer.
In contrast to traditional fridges, freezers or combination models, which are built into or hidden behind cabinetry, American style fridges and freezers are a freestanding appliance, so they can be positioned in any location you want. They're also generally wider than traditional appliances, making them difficult to fit into small or tight spaces. Measure your doorways and hallways to ensure that you can fit these freezers into your space.
The most commonly used configuration of an American style fridge freezer is the side by side model. This model has a tall refrigerator compartment on the right and a spacious freezer compartment on the left. Both compartments are easily accessible. This also reduces bending over since you can see all your food upright. You can also find models with an opening with four doors like our PC900 range that allows you to access every part of the appliance without having to open larger doors and risk losing cool air.
Fast Freeze
American style fridges provide huge amounts of storage space, plenty of extra features and are stylish. The fridge freezers that are in this range are energy efficient, well-constructed and include a range of useful features to make the kitchen simpler.
For example, many models have a fast freeze feature, which can bring any new food items added to the freezer to a frozen temperature quickly. This can help maintain the quality of any food that is already stored in the freezer. It also means you can keep more fresh food items in there for longer.
Some models let you view inside the fridge without opening the door, thanks to clever features such as LG InstaView or Samsung Family Hub. Other features include an open door warning that will alert you if the fridge is left open, which could result in it losing energy efficiency.
This selection includes both non-plumbed and plumbed fridge freezers, so you can choose the location you'd like it placed in your home. They all come with EcoSmart labels that will inform you of the amount of energy they use. Look out for the label that has an A-grade rating to ensure you're getting the most energy efficiency you can get. In time, this will save you money. Some narrowest american fridge freezer style fridges even come with the Holiday Mode which automatically switches to an energy-efficient mode if you're away from your home.
