French Fridge Freezers - Which Fridge Freezer is Right For You?
Refrigerator freezers are among the biggest and most expensive appliances you can find in your home, so it's important to choose the right model for you. We spoke to experts from Quiet Mark and Currys as well as AO, Samsung, and independent white goods advisors from UK Whitegoods to find out what the best fridge freezers are.
Space
Fridge freezers are all about storage space, and are incredibly convenient for stocking up on food and catering for hungry families. French fridge freezers have a larger width than other models. This allows you to have more space to store large vegetables, whole fish, and large cuts of meat.
These shelves are also wide which allows you to easily access your food items. These shelves are large enough to accommodate extra-large containers, trays and other kitchen essentials, such as cookware and drink bottles. Some even have built-in water and ice dispensers for easy access to fresh, chilled beverages.
If you require additional freezer space, search for models with separate compartments under the doors that split. This can be ideal for those who consume a large amount of frozen foods and would like to organize their food items according to consumption. You can also opt for models that have adjustable shelves and storage bins which can be moved or moved to meet your requirements.
French refrigerators come with a range of smart features that make them an excellent option for any home. No Frost technology, LED lights, and stay-fresh systems can be added to keep your produce fresher for longer. A lot of them also have a deep freeze compartment which makes it easy to store items such as frozen pies and ice cream.
Some models have a programmable mode to improve energy efficiency. This will reduce their energy consumption and lower your household bills. You can even see how much power your fridge is using via an indicator that is located on the front of the appliance. With this feature, you can be sure that your appliances are using the least amount of energy to keep your family satisfied. This is an excellent way to cut down on your carbon footprint while also cutting unnecessary expenses.
Energy
It is important to make the right decision when you purchase a fridge freezer. A big unit with extras like water dispensers can make an impact in the kitchen and boost the value of your home, whereas an energy efficient model will help keep your costs at a minimum.
French fridge freezers are an excellent choice for families due to their generous storage spaces. They also combine two useful appliances into one unified appliance, meaning you don't have to allocate space to separate fridges or freezers.
These models have 2 French style doors which can be opened to reveal a massive refrigerator cavity. The Freezer section is on the bottom, with either two pull-out drawers. Most feature NoFrost for easy defrosting, and VitaFresh with 0degC drawers that keep food fresher for longer.
The Siemens iQ700 is a smart French style refrigerator freezer that features a touchscreen on its door. It can display photos of the family, take notes, or even display the weather. Emma is also awed by the fact that the refrigerator freezer is energy efficient, since it has a C rating puts it in the "green zone" - particularly in a time when electricity prices are so high.
There are a few refrigerators that have an A rating. This means they use less power than conventional models, and feature high efficiency features, such as LED lights that consume less energy and last for longer. Samsung FridgeFreezer is another great example. Frydge is astonished to have an A+ score thanks to its smart design.
It will automatically adapt to your lifestyle and adapt to help you save energy while away from home or working. It can also learn your patterns of use so that it can operate at the most cost effective time and reduce energy consumption.
Keep in mind that UK energy ratings were updated in 2021. This means that a lot of products that were once graded A+ and++ are now classified as F or G. This is because the new system more closely matches the current energy prices. So, it's important to verify the rating of any fridge-freezer you're considering buying. This will help you choose an appliance that can reduce your energy costs even during the most expensive price period.
Convenience
Refrigerator freezers are responsible for keeping your food cool and organized, so they're a key element of your kitchen. Fridge freezers are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to fit different kitchens.
One of the most sought-after options for modern homes is the French door fridge freezer. These models have a distinct appearance that makes them stand out from other fridge freezers, with dual doors to hide the fridge compartment, and an aesthetically pleasing design. These fridges and freezers are freestanding, meaning they can be placed in a variety of ways in your kitchen.
Many of our French door fridge freezers are designed to be wide rather than deep, and have a 91 cm width instead of the standard 183 cm height. This lets you store large food items and family meals in a bigger space. This also means that you don't have to make use of space in your kitchen by keeping the fridge and freezer out of reach, or restricting the amount you can keep.
The two doors that separate allow you to have better access to your food items than refrigerators that are American-style. There's no need to bend or struggle to get through drawers. You'll be able to locate what you need without opening each shelf.
The freezer section that is separate is a great benefit of fridge freezers with French doors. You can use the freezer only when you need to and only consume as much energy as needed. You'll save money, and you'll also be helping the environment.
Our freestanding French-door fridge freezers will also keep your fresh vegetables and fruits fresher longer. They're equipped with features such as NoFrost that reduce the necessity for manual defrosting and VitaFresh Pro boxes that maintain a precise humidity at 90%, locking in flavors and nutrients for a longer time.
There are many advantages to choosing a French door fridge freezer from Caple such as their contemporary aesthetic and convenient features. So if you're thinking of adding one to your kitchen, be sure to look through our complete selection below.
Style
French door refrigerators are a favored style of fridge freezers in their own right. They can add a touch of sophistication to kitchens and create a modern look. They're also very easy to use with fresh food shelves and crisper drawers that are at eye level. This makes it less likely that you'll fail to organize or find items.
There's plenty of space to store your bottles, small containers, and other leftovers in the storage built into each door, while still leaving space for your larger dishes and other ingredients. This allows you to organize your fridge's contents according to consumption, not just the place of storage. This is particularly beneficial for families who consume frozen food items.
The location of the freezer compartment is a further major difference between an American-style and the French door freezer in the fridge. Whereas French-door fridges tend to include the freezer compartment above the fridge, American-style models put the freezer at the bottom of the refrigerator. This is a fantastic way to save electricity costs, especially when you're frequently freezing and defrosting frozen goods.
It is essential to choose the refrigerator freezer that best meets your needs. Both have unique features. A few of the fridge freezers we have in our selection have innovative technology such as water and ice dispensers, intelligent technology compatibility and adjustable temperature zones. This gives you the maximum flexibility when it comes to keeping your freezer and fridge in good condition.
Other fridge freezers that we carry come with a built-in water filter. This is a useful and eco-friendly feature that helps remove contaminants from your drinking water, which helps keep you well-hydrated for longer. There are also VitaFresh Pro boxes in some of our refrigerators in our selection that provide the best freshness and protection for your food items. This helps your food remain fresher for longer, ensuring you're able to enjoy all your favourites for as long as possible.
