Counter-depth refrigerators are more affordable than standard-depth French-door fridges, and they could remove the need for an under-counter smaller freezer.

This LG refrigerator stands out in our tests and has plenty of capacity to feed a family However, it does have a few quirks that we found to be annoying. The drawers for the freezer aren't as cold as we'd like. The temperature of the middle drawer was 41° during our maximum use test, which is sufficient to freeze ice cream or other frozen foods. The temperature of the rest of the freezer was at around 36 degrees.
Another issue is that refrigerator doors have handles that are sunken on the inside and beneath which makes it difficult for those who are smaller to close them. It may seem like a minor issue, but we prefer front mounted handles on refrigerators to make them easier to open and close.
The refrigerator is pricey but it's worth it for anyone looking to have an elegant appearance in their kitchen. We recommend this fridge for those looking to upgrade their current refrigerator, or for those who are building a new house and want to have a seamless design in the kitchen.
Samsung Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator

It's a good-looking model that boasts useful features like an autofill water pitcher and a temperature-adjustable "FlexZone" drawer. It also did well in our cooling test, but we're not a fan of the gimmicky handles or flimsy crisper bins.
Bespoke is one of the features that makes the RF23M8090SG stand out. It allows you to customize your refrigerator with removable colored panels. There are 11 colors that range from pastels to more bright colors. There are four metallic finishes. The panels can be customized to include photos or text.

The only negatives to the RF23M8090SG are its slightly cramped beverage center and an incline to learn curve when it comes to opening the door-in-door feature that houses a water pitcher as well as dispenser. It is important to locate the lever on the underside midway down the door. Once you have it the second door opens up inside the fridge, which houses the pitcher docking station and the water dispenser.

This might not appear to be a problem initially however, the fridge is spending most of the time above 32 degrees.
It's also worth noting that the FGHB2866PF isn't an Energy Star-certified model. This could be a factor for some buyers. The main issue is that this refrigerator isn't very good. It's not equipped with the latest features and a durable construction which makes it difficult to recommend it over more expensive alternatives at this price.
This Frigidaire fridge is identical to the stainless steel version that you might find in the local appliance store.
