A counter depth French door refrigerator offers the modern design of a French door refrigerator, with space saving dimensions that fit flush with your kitchen cabinetry. Although counter depth options have lower capacities than full sized models, these fridges offer many benefits, including:
- A Built-in Look: A built-in refrigerator is costly, but a counter depth refrigerator can achieve this look with your fridge flush to your cabinets. Using a counter depth French door refrigerator gives you maximum capacity with a built-in style.

Features to Look for in a Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
When shopping for a new fridge, taking the time to consider your priorities can save you time and money.
- Capacity: Counter depth French door fridge options often offer less capacity than other models but can still hold a surprising amount of food. If capacity is vital for your home, focus on counter-depth models with the most significant capacities.
- Water and Ice Dispenser: While water and ice dispensing are essential for many customers, they often disagree on their favorite spot in the fridge. Some people prefer the convenience of an external dispenser where they don’t have to open the fridge. For others, the clean lines of a smooth fridge door are a priority, and they prefer their dispensers to be built inside the fridge.
- Storage Flexibility: Many models feature flexible storage, easy-slide shelves for tall items, and gallon-sized door bins.
- Energy Efficiency: If saving energy for environmental reasons or reducing your power bills is a priority, consider an EnergyStar® certified fridge for maximum efficiency.
