Energy efficiency
It is a common myth that American refrigerator-freezers consume more electricity than their traditional counterparts due to their massive capacity for storage. This isn't the truth. They use very little energy compared to other kitchen appliances of the same dimensions, and they're more efficient than older models.

You can also find refrigerators with convertible zones that allow you to transform a freezer into a fridge if you need extra space at Christmas time or for frozen drinks!
Remember that American models are typically more deep than UK models. Some are too deep to fit through the front and the internal doors, so you need to measure your kitchen's dimensions before you purchase. If this is an issue then you can select a smaller 70cm American style refrigerator freezer that features the same advanced technology with a stylish design and additional capacity, but without taking up too much space.

Water/ice dispenser
A water or ice dispenser within an American refrigerator freezer allows you to access chilled, filtered water directly upon demand. This is ideal for keeping everyone hydrated. You can choose to have models that are plumbed that require plumbing into your home, or manual models that let you manually add water to the reserve of the appliance.
The dispenser can have an automatic ice maker, which produces cubed or crushed pieces of ice. Also, it could have an ice tray that is removable. The tray has to be filled manually and released by turning a knob. Some models also have an ice container inside the freezer to store additional frozen cubes.
It's not always true that an American refrigerator freezer that has an ice maker and water dispenser maker is costly to run. Many models have energy ratings of A and above, so are relatively affordable to run for their size.

Storage options are also more diverse as many models have more than a refrigerator and freezer section. Some models include the option of a salad crisper drawer while others feature door racks that can be used to store jars and bottles.
