US style and integrated fridge freezers are very much alike when it comes down to functionality. The couple arrange a fridge and a freezer in in the one appliance, but both diversify in other areas. In this item I will point out this unique points and you can conclude which one is more fitting for your use.

Domestic fridges were launched back in early 20th century, the initial effective refrigerator was introduced in 1915 in America. However it was merely in the 30's that the fridges became a popular domestic appliance, it then took 40 years for the apparatus to actualize the equal degree of infiltration in the UK. Side by Side, a.k.a. the American Style Fridge Freezers were made known by a company named Amana in 1949 and Integrated Refrigerators (top fridge/bottom freezer style) came later in the mid the 1950's.

that's the history lesson over, now lets glance at the differences between these two fundamental domestic units.

The first thing we ask when we are buying a new fridge is its power ability. When it comes down to energy efficiency both versions of fridge freezer offer A+ energy ratings which demonstrates a positive concern to the ecosystem by their manufacturers.

Frost Free is no longer something fridge manufacturers shout about. So just for the record both styles are frost free.

Just for the record the refrigerator is always on the right side while the freezer is on the left. They come in a collection of colours: stainless steel, brushed steel, white and black.

US style fridge freezers are also renowned to have integrated in its doors, an ice and a water dispenser, two very useful utilities. Up-to-date appliances come with LED touch to control temperature and top notch models come with on-board computers and wireless internet connection.
