What is a counter depth refrigerator? If you've ever had to replace a refrigerator, you've probably asked this very question. Simply put, a counter depth refrigerator is a fridge that is only as deep as the counters of your kitchen. Counter depth refrigerators have different dimensions from standard refrigerators, yet they hold the same volume. They're wider and a bit taller, so they can hold the same amount of food.
In this posting, we'll talk about counter depth refrigerators, discuss their benefits, and we'll talk about how these refrigerators compare to other refrigerators. Most important to keep in mind is that counter depth refrigerators function much like normal refrigerators. The biggest difference between these appliances and other refrigerators is the dimensions.
