What is counter depth vs standard depth refrigerator

The main difference between counter depth and standard depth refrigerators is dimension. Counter depth fridges are shallower to achieve a built-in appearance while standard fridges generally offer more capacity. Either way, your refrigerator is essential to storing all your fresh ingredients.

If you need to conserve space for a better flow in your kitchen, go with a counter-depth. If you have a large family, though, we recommend regular-depth to ensure you'll have plenty of space to meet your daily needs. Meanwhile, avoid costly mistakes by carefully measuring your space.

The distance from your backsplash to the front of your kitchen counters is one way to gauge your “counter-depth.” To fit within this space, counter-depth fridges are shallower than a standard-depth fridge, with a typical range of 23 to 27 inches deep.

Easy access: The shallower depth of a counter-depth refrigerator means easy access to food and condiments. Wider and taller: Extra width and height on some models allows for counter-depth refrigerators to offer similar capacity as traditional refrigerators.
