Default American style fridge freezer

I am redoing my kitchen & want a hidden large fridge freezer, does anyone know of any companies that make them ?
I have a samsung one at the moment. Some links would help.
Thanks

How do you mean hidden? I have a bigger than normal Bosch side by side fridge freezer, it's 84cms deep and wouldn't fit through the customer who ordered it house doors I got a bargain that day

you'll struggle to 'hide' any of them... most of them are deeper than uk units, and have to sit proud of the units for the doors to open fully....

Integrated so to speak. The units will be built to accommodate whatever I get.

just in the latter stages of self build and our kitchen includes one of these and the are much deeper than a normal 600 deep unit/ worktop. (think they are 750mm)

Also heard bad reports on the Samsung kit problems with the cold water and ice stuff

Been in this house for about 7 months an fridge was already there, not had a problem with it in that time. Its going to a friend anyway. In relation to the units the kitchen is being handbuilt, so hopefully won't be a problem.

We have Rangemaster Side by side fridge/freezer and it’s quite big, 800 deep. We had to take the doors and top off and get half the street to help us get it into the house (they only deliver to the door). When we 1st positioned it, it looked like a the back end of a bus parked up and our kitchens not particularly small. We looked at quite a few before we picked this one and doubt any of the ones we saw would hide integrally in any units.

However, my daughter is moving in a couple of weeks and the kitchen has a stainless steel side by side fridge/freezer that looks really nice and it sits nicely under the worktop. It’s only about 850 high same as the other appliances but if I can get the make and manufacturer maybe they do something bigger.

Edited:
Just did a search and here one thats built-in, only 540 deep. Looks like there are a few others as well.

I've got a Samsung one. Also read about the bad reports with cooling etc....

Had mine for over 2yrs - not skipped a beat (yet)!
Have moved it and am currently working out how to build a false wall by it (with a broom cupboard next to it)

Slightly aside, I have a big hotpoint side by side with water ice onthe left but in the fridge section there is a door/hatch in the main door into a drinks section for ~10 bottles of wine. Such a good idea but does anyone know any modern ones that do that.

Only so dont have to open the entire section to get your booze out.......
Very energy efficient , though the age of the fridge probably negates that.

Mine's 900mm wide. The kitchen I had fitted had the option of 'tall' wall units, that were 900mm high I mounted one of these sideways and got some cool hinges that support the weight.
