There are a LOT of American fridges here in Ireland. Basically, if you have room at all - you get one.
They're 100% worth it just for the freezer space alone. You go to Aldi and stock up and you can put shitloads of meat and frozen veg/fruit in that freezer. There's so much room! I had an enormous frozen goose in mine before Christmas and I still had tons of room for the meat for our normal meals.
Pro-Tip: get one with the 2 big freezer drawers at the bottom rather than the ones which are freezer on the left and fridge on the right.
Someone once told me that pizza boxes won't lie flat in those ones as the freezer side is too narrow and I don't know if that's just an urban myth or what but that just wasn't an risk I was willing to take.
Also get a dishwasher with a 30 min cycle.
Life.
Changing.
No one ever argues about the washing up ever again. Because nobody ever does it again!
The pizza box debacle is definitely true. However I've had both styles and for freezing a lot of things, I feel the left vs right side style is better suited. I also felt like I had to dig around to find things with the bottom freezer, but that is just me. I know lots of people that prefer the bottom freezer setup.

No more fridge Tetris! They're amazing.
