We like: Powerful, speedy freezer, plenty of hi-tech features

We don't like: The drawers aren't always easy to use

This side-by-side fridge freezer has a remarkable number of features. For starters, you'll spot a massive display on the right-side door, which you can use to adjust the temperature if you need to. It also lets you control other connected gadgets around your house, or play music while you're chopping up onions.

The Samsung Family Hub has an ice and water dispenser on the freezer door. During our lab tests, we quickly realised there was plenty of space to use up – we crammed in 23 carrier bags of food onto its shelves.

A camera inside this American fridge freezer pairs with the Samsung smartphone app, where you can track use-by dates for your food. If you're a keen cook who isn't afraid to try new things, you can also use the app to look up recipes based on what you have sat on the shelves.

With so many hi-tech features, is this model genuinely worth the high price? see our Samsung Family Hub RS6HA8891SL/EU review for the details.

Available from: AO.com (£469), Very (£469)

We like: Reasonably efficient, keeps temperature stable in hot and cold rooms

We don't like: Not many drawers in the freezer

This American fridge freezer has five shelves in the fridge and three drawers for your bottles. The freezer has another five main drawers, a drawer at the bottom and four door trays. You're getting plenty of space for less than £500.

According to Fridgemaster, the multi air-flow system helps keep the distribution of cold air even throughout. We found this fridge freezer to be fairly energy-efficient, too, which will help to keep your bills under control.

Our rigorous lab tests measure the amount of noise each fridge freezer makes, and this one remains quiet while it's running. You can kick back and relax in the living room without hearing a hum from the kitchen.

Available from: Appliance City (£999), Argos (£1,330)

We like: Lots of power to cool fresh food, impressive climate stability, quiet

We don't like: Lack of adjustable shelving

If you're shopping for a fridge freezer that maintains a steady temperature, consider adding this Samsung model to your shortlist. It features frost-free technology (so no need to defrost it manually), along with an ice and water dispenser on the freezer door.

This American fridge freezer is delightfully versatile. If you need more fridge space, you can turn off the freezer compartment completely, raise the temperature and convert it into fridge space. To speed up the cooling process when needed, you can use the digital controls inside the fridge. 

To ensure this fridge freezer doesn't use up too much energy when idle for long periods of time, it has a holiday mode – read our full review to see if it performs well.

Available from: AO.com (£1,299), Appliance City (£1,299), John Lewis (£1,599)

We like: Freezes fresh items rapidly, stable in hot and cold rooms, versatile storage space

We don't like: Awkward to clean

This is a large fridge freezer with a handy 'switch zone' that can be set between +5 and 20°C depending on whether you need extra fridge or freezer space. It has four doors, each with a stylish glass finish – two for the fridge at the top and another two for the freezer below.

The fridge has three glass shelves, a hanging bottle rack and three door racks. There's a chiller compartment as well, which has independent temperature control and pre-programmed settings for preserving specific types of food including cheese, fruit and meat.

Other features worth mentioning include a child lock, fast-freeze and super-cool settings, plus an alarm that sounds automatically if you accidentally leave a door open (we've all done it!).

How did this Haier fridge freezer fare when we ran it through our rigorous lab tests? Our Haier HTF-508DGS7 review tells you everything you need to know.

Available from: Appliance City (£1,199), Currys (£1,299)

We like: Quick to chill, extremely accurate, lots of room inside

We don't like: It can be a nuisance to clean

Last but not least on our list of American fridge freezers is this double-door model from LG, arriving in a sleek, dark graphite finish. It has a dispenser that provides cold water and crushed or cubed ice.

Both the fridge and the freezer segments are no-frost – we managed to stuff 15 carrier bags of food into the fridge, and another eight in the freezer. If you're shopping for a fridge freezer that meets the demands of a large family, this LG is worth a closer look.

Just like the Haier model we mentioned above, this American fridge freezer has a child lock and an alarm that alerts you if you accidentally leave a door open.

‘Show-stopping American fridge freezers look great and can promise the end to an overflowing fridge or crammed freezer thanks to cavernous capacities. But, with an average price of over £1,100 for the ones we’ve tested, you need to choose wisely.

These behemoths use plenty of power around the clock – the most inefficient ones can push up your electricity bills much more than a standard freestanding model. Our fridge freezer reviews tell you which ones are energy efficient, have quick chilling and freezing power, plus the models that maintain temperature when your kitchen heats up or cools down.’
