What are counter-depth refrigerators?

Counter-depth refrigerators are refrigerator units whose depth equals that of standard home counter tops and cabinets. This produces a sleek look that many customers find aesthetically pleasing.

The most popular counter-depth refrigerators measure 36 inches wide and offer anywhere between 15 and 25 cubit feet of capacity. Many models feature built-in air and water filters, digital control of the interior temperature, an external water dispenser and sometimes even an alarm that alerts those nearby when the door has been left open for an extended period of time. Most counter-depth units cost between $2,000 and $3,500, though some compact units are cheaper.
