The Best Slim American Fridge Freezers – Perfect For Small Kitchens
Are you dreaming of having that lovely American-style fridge freezer in your kitchen but don’t quite have the room for it? Did you know you can get a slim American fridge freezer?
American fridge freezers are something a lot of my clients ask for. However, many are surprised to learn that there are slimline or narrow American fridge freezer models available. Often these narrow/slimline versions are the perfect solution for smaller kitchens.
Standard American fridge freezers are usually 90cm wide. Whereas their slim/narrow counterparts range from 70-85cm in width.
In this post, I’ve collected some of my favourite slim American fridge freezers that are big on storage but don’t take up the whole kitchen.
Let’s get into it!

If you love your techy-gadgets and want to add some wow factor to your kitchen then this LG model is the one for you. It’s hard to know where to start with this one, there’s just so many features!
The big wow factor comes from its Door-in-Door and InstaView technology. Knock the glass door twice and it will turn transparent so you can see inside to a special separate front section of the fridge. You can open this door independently to the main fridge cavity and access day to day items quickly which helps reduce cold air loss. Close the door back up and the glass turns black to hide its contents and blend in with the rest of the appliance.
It also comes with WiFi connectivity, adjustable and retractable shelving as well as a dedicated air purification fan filter system that recirculates air for a pleasant fridge aroma. A slim designed water and ice dispenser mean less room is taken up on the inside for storage while still providing handy chilled water and ice on tap.
The LG has everything you could need and more from a slim American fridge freezer. A fun talking point and a gadget lovers dream. That’s why it gets my ‘best features’ pick!
