Best Counter-Depth Refrigerators of 2024, Tested by Our Expe

Counter-depth refrigerators are less obtrusive. They sit almost flush with kitchen counters (like built-in refrigerators do), but they cost thousands less and get pretty close—much closer than standard-depth refrigerators. With a depth of less than 30 inches (and some all the way down to just 24), most counter-depth models stick out a mere few inches past the countertop or sometimes just by the thickness of the door.
