Until you have seen one in operation, I really do not think you can gauge how good American style fridge/freezers really are. I have not got the room in my little kitchen for one of these beastly products, but that did not stop my staring in awe at a relatives recent purchase.

In my simple world, I would have said a fridge/freezer is simply that, a fridge/freezer. But these American style fridge/freezers have enough power about them to fire the a rocket to the moon. The beast that I saw came with anti-bacterial protection, stored water dispenser, cubed ice dispenser and a Brita water filter! Wow, a gadget-rich fridge freezer for all the family, and for all seasons.

It is not impossible for an American Fridge/Freezer to set you back the best part of £2,000. In all fairness with a unit this size, you can expect to go out for a country walk on a Sunday and bring back a cow and still have room for stacks more food!

Having been mightily impressed with the American Fridge Freezer I saw, I am now having to consider either moving house or building an extension to get me one of these monsters.

Here are my pick of three top of the range American Fridge Freezers that will cost the earth, but will look really good in your kitchen.

Caple CAFF 19SI American Fridge Freezer – £1,399

LG GRP247JHMWV American Fridge Freezer – £1,799

FISHER & PAYKEL RF540ADUX1 USA Fridge Freezer – £1,999
