Energy
The fact that American refrigerator freezers are bigger than UK models doesn't mean that they cost more to run. Modern manufacturing techniques and the energy efficiency demands of consumers mean that these big appliances use less power than you'd think.
It is generally believed that the bigger the fridge freezer, higher the running cost. However, this isn't always the scenario. The compressor is usually located close to a large vertical freezer compartment. This causes it to heat up quickly and work harder to keep the food items cold.

Also, look out for additional features that will reduce the cost of food shopping - such as full air circulation to prevent the build-up of frost and fancy zero-calorie fruit and veg drawers to ensure long-lasting freshness.
It's worth remembering that these huge kitchen appliances can be heavy as well, so you'll have to ensure that they can make it through the doorways to the inside and front upon delivery, especially in the event that you're getting it delivered up to a top floor flat. Request the retailer to take off and put back the door of the fridge freezer when they deliver the appliance if you are worried. You can also hire a handyman.
