New kitchen - which American style fridge freezer?

[Daffodilly]

I am baffled by the various options and models out there. Someone just TELL me which one to get please?

We have got a FABBO Sharp one

Same dimensions as an American one but FAR more practical as it has 4 doors so no silly tall thin freezer issues.

That looks nice Castille. Any other recommendations?

I have this. DS1 loves ice dispenser and water cooler.

we have a maytag with ice/water thing, its huge though and very often looks empty!!

Castille, we are on the brink of ordering that Sharp one. Looks like the f/f of my dreams. Are you still around? Can I ask you some nerdy questions?

I'm here - ask away

Ooh! [panicky conferring with DH]

We've planned to put it into a recess. There'll be a bit of a gap (30mm) on either side. We are worrying that the doors won't open wide enough to get at the crisper drawers. Do you have any thoughts? Do the doors swing out at the side, or do they kind of pivot?

Desperate to see one for real, but can't find any showrooms with them in.

Is it noisy?

Do you just totally love it or do you have any reservations about it?

We're about to move house and DH is pretty much set on getting one of these Fisher Paykel f/f. Has rave reviews apparently.

Not sure 30mm each side will be enough tbh.

The fridge is 90cm wide and ours is in a corner of the kitchen, in a space just over 1m wide between wall and units. It's fine there, but any less than that might be a bit tight for opening the doors and drawers properly.

Haven't noticed noise, I don't think it's any noisier than any other fridge.

I do totally love it, the wide fridge is brilliant and the freezer is uber practical.

That Fisher Paykel looks pretty phwoarh and has a water dispenser.. but Which? drooled over the Sharp and the freezer seems unusually well designed

Thanks for that Castille, v helpful, think we'll speak to the builders and revise the recess idea a bit

Ooh did Which? like my fridge?!

Recess would be ok if it wasn't as deep as the fridge (which is quite deep), so the doors would open beyond it, IYSWIM

Not a best buy but 72% rating and said running costs impressively low for such a behemoth.

I don't suppose I could, um, trouble you for the depth of the door, ie from the front/face to the hinge?

no trouble, I always have a tape measure in my pocket

Door 6/7cm deep (slightly deeper in the middle than at the sides)

You beauty!

Many thanks, saved us lots of hassle/time with that bit of info
