What Counter-Depth Means
Standard kitchen counters are about 24 to 25 inches deep. A counter-depth refrigerator is shallower than a standard-depth model, so the doors and case stick out less past the cabinets. The models in this guide range from 25 5/8" to 29 1/2" deep on their spec sheets.
Side-by-Side, French Door or 4-Door?
Side-by-side models put the freezer on one side and the fridge on the other, and the narrow doors need less swing space. French door models put the fridge on top and the freezer drawer below. The 4-door Bespoke models add a middle drawer, such as the FlexZone drawer on the RF70F23DER.
- Side-by-side: RS22T5201SR, RS23CB7600QL
- French door: RF18A5101SR, RF70H25HER
- 4-door: RF70F23DER, RF23DB9700QL
Water and Ice
If you want water and ice on the door, look at the RS22T5201SR or RF70H25HER. The RF70F23DER and RF23DB9700QL have an internal water dispenser, which keeps the doors flat. The RS23CB7600QL uses an AutoFill water pitcher inside instead.
