American Style Fridge Freezer - opinions?

[e8_pack]

I have a pretty big kitchen so i can easily fit one in and it would look right at home, however the previous owners had a fancy SMEG thing so I would have to move a unit to make a bit more space but it's only a minor alteration.

So is it worth getting an American Style Fridge Freezer? i have heard good and bad things about them - i like the look for sure and you get the ice and water dispenser which i like, however i have also heard you have to bend down all the time for things like salad and stuff in the bottom of the door, also they only come in A+ energy rating at best.

What are people's opinions on them, both practical and otherwise?

I'm only a single man so haven't got a big family to feed - it's mostly for looks if anything and the instant ice which i'd use a lot of - that peykell one looks maybe a little too big!

I suppose i will need to measure the depth too.

You can see where the space is now for the old fridge at the back wall. If i move the double cupboard unit under the black worktop, i can create around 93mm which i think is enough.



rest of kitchen: so shouldn't be out of place in there.

Aye, saw this in currys:



Seeing as I work away alot, a non plumbed one would probably be better.

Aye, thanks for the advice. I'm not sure I can handle the non flush fitting, I've seen a nice Samsung one but it doesn't appear to be available outside of Spain. Well keep looking I think.
