Water/ice dispenser
An American fridge freezer with an ice or water dispenser will give you immediate access to cold, clean water on demand - perfect for keeping everyone well-hydrated. You can find plumbed models that require plumbing into your home, or manual versions where you manually add water to a reserve inside the appliance.
The dispenser can have an automatic ice maker which produces cubed or crushed pieces of ice. Also, it could have a removable ice tray. The tray needs to be manually filled and released by turning a knob. There are also models that have a separate ice box in the freezer, which can provide an additional supply of frozen cubes.
It's not always the case that an American refrigerator freezer that has water dispenser and ice maker is expensive to run. Many models have energy ratings of A or above, making them economical to run considering their size.
