Counter-Depth or Standard Depth?
Counter-depth refrigerators are shallower, so they line up with the front of your cabinets. The KRFC136SPS, KRFC136TPS, KRFC236SPS and KRSC536RPS are listed as counter-depth, with depths from 29 3/8" to 32 1/8". Standard-depth models like the KRMF436SPS give more storage but stick out further. For more on this topic, read our guide to counter-depth refrigerators.
French Door or Side-by-Side?
French door models put the fresh food at eye level and use two narrow doors, which helps in tight aisles. Side-by-side models like the KRSC536RPS keep fresh and frozen food in two tall columns, so you can see both without bending.
Dispensers and Drawers
The interior water dispensers on the KRFC136SPS, KRFC136TPS, KRFC236SPS and KRFF333SPS keep the door smooth. The KRMF436SPS and KRSC536RPS put the ice dispenser on the door, and the KRMF436SPS adds an exterior water dispenser. The KRFC236SPS and KRMF436SPS list a FreshChill drawer.
