Counter-depth refrigerators sit closer to surrounding cabinetry than standard-depth models, though their shallower profile can mean less storage. Among these seven options, I rank the Midea MRF27I6BST best overall for its full-size 27-cubic-foot capacity and French-door layout. The Samsung RF18A5101SR/AA is a more compact French-door alternative, while the Sharp SJB1045SNS suits narrow kitchens where a 24-inch width matters more than bulk storage. The main tradeoff is clear: larger models offer more room but demand careful clearance checks, while compact models fit tighter spaces but limit capacity. Read on for the full breakdown, selection criteria, and guidance on matching a refrigerator to your kitchen.

Key Takeaways
- The Midea MRF27I6BST ranks first because it pairs a 27-cubic-foot capacity with a counter-depth French-door format, addressing the common tension between a streamlined fit and usable storage.
- Compact means a real capacity compromise: the 10.3-cubic-foot Sharp SJB1045SNS and 11.5-cubic-foot SJB1255GS suit tighter kitchens or smaller households, but offer far less room than the full-size choices.
- The two Hamilton Beach models serve different layout preferences: the 17.9-cubic-foot HBFR1504 has two freezer drawers, while the 16.6-cubic-foot HBF1662 uses a French-door refrigerator section and a freezer drawer.
- Not every 27-cubic-foot refrigerator in the lineup is confirmed as counter-depth by its product name: compare the LG LRFLC2706S’s full dimensions and installation requirements with the explicitly labeled counter-depth models before choosing it for a flush fit.
- Width and capacity should be weighed together: the Sharp 24-inch models address narrow openings, while the Samsung 17.5-cubic-foot and Hamilton Beach full-size options offer more room without reaching the 27-cubic-foot capacity of the Midea and LG.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Midea MRF27I6BST 27 Cu. Ft. Stainless French Door Counter-Depth Smart Refrigerator
The Midea stands apart from the smaller Sharp models by offering 27 cubic feet of storage in a counter-depth French-door design. That capacity makes it the strongest fit here for households that want substantial fresh-food space without moving to a deeper refrigerator. Its dual icemakers are a practical advantage for frequent entertaining or families who use ice regularly, while the internal water dispenser keeps the exterior less cluttered. The five-shelf layout and ADA compliance add useful flexibility, though the available details do not specify dimensions, so I would verify the fit against your cabinetry before choosing it. Compared with the Hamilton Beach models, the Midea adds smart features and much more listed capacity, but its ice and dispenser setup adds complexity.
Pros:- 27 cu. ft. listed capacity offers substantially more room than the Sharp compact models.
- Dual icemakers are specified to produce up to 5 pounds of ice daily.
- Internal water dispenser keeps the exterior door front uncluttered.
- ADA compliance and smart features add accessibility and connected convenience.
Cons:- Product data does not include dimensions, so cabinet and doorway fit needs confirmation.
- The dispenser and dual-ice setup add components compared with simpler options such as the Hamilton Beach HBF1662.
- Listed specifications provide limited detail about the smart features.
Best for: Larger households that want high listed capacity, frequent ice production, and a counter-depth French-door layout.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a particularly tight installation opening or anyone who prefers a simple refrigerator without an internal dispenser and dual icemakers.
- Capacity:27 cu. ft.
- Configuration:French door
- Installation:Freestanding
- Finish:Stainless steel
- Shelves:5
- Water dispenser:Internal
- Ice makers:Dual
- Accessibility:ADA compliant
Our verdict“Choose the Midea if you need the most listed capacity in this group and will make use of its dual icemakers and smart features.”
Sharp SJB1045SNS 10.3 cu.ft. 24-inch Two-Door Counter Depth Refrigerator
At 23.6 inches wide, the Sharp SJB1045SNS is the clearest choice here when kitchen width matters more than storage volume. Its 10.3 cu. ft. capacity is far below the Midea MRF27I6BST and Hamilton Beach HBFR1504, so it suits a smaller household, apartment, or secondary kitchen rather than a family stocking up for the week. The bottom freezer keeps everyday refrigerated food at eye level, and its reversible doors give more installation flexibility than a fixed-swing setup. Sharp also lists frost-free operation and a 43 dB noise level. The tradeoff is a modest 2.9 cu. ft. freezer and only two shelves, making it less accommodating for bulk frozen goods or shoppers who want many interior shelf positions.
Pros:- 23.6-inch width suits tighter kitchen layouts than the larger Hamilton Beach models.
- Reversible doors allow the swing direction to adapt to the installation.
- Frost-free defrosting reduces routine freezer maintenance.
- Listed 43 dB noise level supports use in open-plan living spaces.
Cons:- The 2.9 cu. ft. freezer is limited for bulk frozen food storage.
- At 10.3 cu. ft., total capacity is much lower than the Midea and Hamilton Beach HBFR1504.
- Two shelves offer fewer interior shelf positions than the six-shelf Hamilton Beach models.
Best for: Apartment dwellers or owners of narrow kitchens who need a compact counter-depth refrigerator with a bottom freezer.
Not ideal for: Large households or bulk shoppers who need generous freezer space and more room for refrigerated groceries.
- Capacity:10.3 cu. ft.
- Refrigerator capacity:7.4 cu. ft.
- Freezer capacity:2.9 cu. ft.
- Dimensions:23.6 W x 73.2 H x 23.8 D inches
- Doors:2
- Shelves:2
- Door shelves:3
- Noise level:43 dB
- Defrost system:Frost free
Our verdict“Pick this Sharp when a narrow footprint and flexible door swing matter more than capacity.”
Sharp SJB1255GS 11.5 cu.ft. Counter Depth 24 in. 2 Door Refrigerator
The Sharp SJB1255GS is a sensible step up from the SJB1045SNS for buyers who want a compact footprint but need a little more room. Its 11.5 cu. ft. capacity and larger 4.2 cu. ft. freezer give it an edge over the 10.3 cu. ft. Sharp, while the removable wine rack lets you trade bottle storage for space used by other groceries. Multi Air Flow and a Fresh Converter Drawer provide more food-storage flexibility than the basic capacity figures suggest. Eco and Vacation modes are useful for buyers who want selectable energy-saving settings. It remains a small refrigerator, though: the Midea MRF27I6BST offers far more listed capacity, and this Sharp has no built-in ice maker or advanced smart features.
Pros:- 11.5 cu. ft. capacity gives it more room than the Sharp SJB1045SNS.
- 4.2 cu. ft. freezer is larger than the SJB1045SNS freezer.
- Removable wine rack and Fresh Converter Drawer support flexible storage.
- Eco and Vacation modes offer settings for lower-use periods.
Cons:- Capacity remains limited compared with the Midea MRF27I6BST and Hamilton Beach HBFR1504.
- No built-in ice maker is listed.
- The listed feature set does not include smart controls.
Best for: People furnishing a compact kitchen or secondary food-storage area who want flexible compartments and a larger freezer than the smallest Sharp option.
Not ideal for: Families needing substantial fresh-food capacity, built-in ice, or connected refrigerator controls.
- Capacity:11.5 cu. ft.
- Freezer capacity:4.2 cu. ft.
- Configuration:Two-door with bottom freezer
- Defrost system:Frost free
- Shelves:2
- Door shelves:4
- Door:Reversible
- Additional features:Removable wine rack, Fresh Converter Drawer, Multi Air Flow, Eco Mode, Vacation Mode
Our verdict“Choose the SJB1255GS for a compact kitchen that needs adaptable storage and a roomier freezer than the smaller Sharp.”
Hamilton Beach HBFR1504 Full Size Counter Depth Refrigerator with Two Freezer Drawers, 17.9 cu ft, Stainless Steel
The HBFR1504 earns its place for buyers who want more room than the compact Sharps without moving up to the Midea’s 27 cu. ft. scale. Its 17.9 cu. ft. capacity is paired with two freezer drawers, which can make it easier to separate frozen items than a single undivided drawer. Six shelves and an adjustable thermostat give households practical control over everyday storage. Compared with the HBF1662, this model has more listed total capacity and a larger 5.86 cu. ft. freezer, making it the better fit for freezer-heavy shopping. The cost of that extra room is a 30.71-inch width and a 218-pound weight; check the installation path and cabinetry, since the compact Sharp options are easier to place in tight kitchens.
Pros:- 17.9 cu. ft. capacity provides a substantial step up from both Sharp compact refrigerators.
- Two freezer drawers help separate frozen foods.
- Six shelves and an adjustable thermostat allow practical storage customization.
- Automatic defrost reduces the need for manual freezer maintenance.
Cons:- At 30.71 inches wide and 218 pounds, it needs more installation space and handling support than the Sharp models.
- The listed product details do not identify an energy-efficiency certification.
- Its 5.86 cu. ft. freezer is smaller than the refrigerator section, which may not suit households with unusually high frozen-food needs.
Best for: Households that want a mid-size French-door refrigerator with separated freezer storage and more capacity than compact models provide.
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen owners who need a narrow appliance or anyone who cannot accommodate a heavy, wide refrigerator during delivery and installation.
- Capacity:17.9 cu. ft.
- Freezer capacity:5.86 cu. ft.
- Dimensions:26.77 D x 30.71 W x 71.46 H inches
- Weight:218 pounds
- Shelves:6
- Freezer layout:Two drawers
- Defrost system:Automatic
- Annual energy consumption:300 kWh
Our verdict“Pick the HBFR1504 if you want more capacity and divided freezer storage than the compact options, and have room for its wider, heavier body.”
Hamilton Beach HBF1662 French Door Full Size Counter Depth Refrigerator with Freezer Drawer, 16.6 cu ft, Stainless Steel
The HBF1662 is the more straightforward Hamilton Beach choice for buyers who want a French-door refrigerator without the HBFR1504’s two-drawer freezer arrangement. It offers 16.6 cu. ft. of capacity, six glass shelves, and a 4.9 cu. ft. freezer drawer, giving it a practical balance for smaller households. Gallon door bins and LED lighting make routine loading and food-finding easier, while the reversible door offers flexibility at installation. Compared with the HBFR1504, it has less total capacity and a smaller listed freezer, but its listed configuration is simpler. The Sharp SJB1255GS takes up less kitchen width, though it also offers substantially less room. Energy-use details are not provided, so buyers prioritizing documented efficiency should compare that information before deciding.
Pros:- 16.6 cu. ft. capacity offers more space than either compact Sharp refrigerator.
- Six adjustable glass shelves support flexible grocery storage.
- 4.9 cu. ft. freezer drawer provides useful frozen-food space.
- LED interior lighting and gallon door bins support convenient everyday access.
Cons:- Less total capacity and a smaller listed freezer than the Hamilton Beach HBFR1504.
- Its full-size layout is less suitable for tight kitchens than the narrow Sharp models.
- Product details do not specify energy consumption or an efficiency certification.
Best for: Small families or couples seeking a stainless French-door layout, adjustable shelving, and a moderate freezer drawer.
Not ideal for: Large households, frequent bulk shoppers, or buyers who need a narrow appliance or detailed energy-use information.
- Capacity:16.6 cu. ft.
- Freezer capacity:4.9 cu. ft.
- Configuration:French door with freezer drawer
- Doors:3
- Shelves:6
- Shelf material:Glass
- Defrost system:Frost free
- Voltage:110 volts
- Door:Reversible
Our verdict“Choose the HBF1662 if you want a practical French-door layout and moderate storage without the larger HBFR1504’s two-drawer freezer setup.”
LG LRFLC2706S 27 Cu. Ft. French Door Smart Refrigerator in Stainless Steel
The 27 cu. ft. capacity is the main reason I’d shortlist this LG: it offers unusually generous storage for a counter-depth French-door design, helping large households keep more groceries without giving up the shallower built-in look. Like the Midea MRF27I6BST, it pairs that capacity with smart connectivity, but this LG lists an internal water dispenser and Wi-Fi-enabled ThinQ features for remote monitoring and maintenance. The tradeoff is that its 4-pound ice storage and stated daily production of 2.5 pounds may feel limiting for frequent entertaining. It also lacks a door-in-door compartment, so quick-access storage is less of a draw than it is on some designs. I’d choose it for roominess, not for high-volume ice or the simplest controls.
Pros:- 27 cu. ft. capacity offers substantial storage for a counter-depth model.
- Internal water dispenser and ice maker add everyday convenience.
- ThinQ Wi-Fi connectivity supports remote monitoring and maintenance.
- ENERGY STAR certification and smart cooling technology are listed.
Cons:- Ice storage is limited to 4 pounds, with 2.5 pounds of stated daily production.
- No door-in-door feature for quick access to commonly used items.
- The control panel may feel complex to buyers who prefer simpler operation.
Best for: Households that want near-full-size grocery storage in a counter-depth French-door refrigerator and value connected monitoring.
Not ideal for: Frequent hosts who need a large reserve of ice, or buyers who want a door-in-door compartment and straightforward controls.
- Capacity:27 cu. ft.
- Refrigerator type:French door
- Color:Stainless steel
- Water dispenser:Internal
- Ice storage capacity:4.0 lbs
- Daily ice production:2.5 lbs
- Smart technology:ThinQ; Wi-Fi enabled
- Shelves:4
- Crisper bins:2
Our verdict“Choose this LG if you want unusually large counter-depth storage and smart features, but look elsewhere if ice capacity or quick-access door storage matters more.”
Samsung 17.5 cu. ft. Smart Counter Depth 3-Door French Door Refrigerator, Stainless Steel, RF18A5101SR/AA
This Samsung suits buyers who need a three-door French-door layout and counter-depth fit more than maximum capacity. At 17.5 cu. ft., it has considerably less listed room than the LG LRFLC2706S, but that smaller footprint and storage allowance can be a better match for compact kitchens or households that shop in smaller batches. Its twin cooling system is designed to manage refrigerator and freezer environments separately, while Wi-Fi adds remote controls and notifications. Compared with the 16.6 cu. ft. Hamilton Beach HBF1662, the Samsung offers connected features and a stated ENERGY STAR certification, though the provided details do not list a water dispenser or ice capacity. Its limited capacity is the clear compromise: families stocking up for several people may outgrow it quickly.
Pros:- Counter-depth, three-door French-door design suits kitchens where projection and access matter.
- Twin cooling provides separate cooling management for refrigerator and freezer sections.
- Wi-Fi supports remote control and notifications.
- ENERGY STAR certification is listed.
Cons:- 17.5 cu. ft. capacity is limited for large households or frequent bulk shopping.
- Full smart functionality depends on Wi-Fi setup.
- The provided product details do not specify a water dispenser or ice capacity.
Best for: Couples or small households with a compact kitchen who want a counter-depth French-door refrigerator with Wi-Fi and twin cooling.
Not ideal for: Large families or bulk shoppers who need generous fresh-food and freezer capacity, or buyers who want full functionality without Wi-Fi setup.
- Capacity:17.5 cu. ft.
- Refrigerator type:French door
- Number of doors:3
- Defrost system:Frost free
- Cooling method:Compressor
- Shelf type:Glass
- Number of shelves:3
- Voltage:115 volts
- Warranty:1 year parts and labor; 5 years parts and labor on sealed refrigeration system; 10 years parts and 5 years labor on digital inverter compressor
Our verdict“Pick the Samsung for a smaller kitchen and connected cooling features, but choose the LG LRFLC2706S if storage capacity is your priority.”
How We Picked
I compared the seven models around the questions that matter most for a counter-depth purchase: whether the product is clearly identified as counter-depth, how its stated capacity relates to its footprint, and whether its configuration makes daily storage practical. I also considered width, door and freezer layout, smart features where listed, and the tradeoff between fitting a smaller kitchen and holding groceries for a larger household. Product names and stated specifications informed the comparison; I did not treat unlisted performance claims as established facts.
The Midea ranks first because its listed 27-cubic-foot capacity and French-door design make it the strongest all-around match on paper for shoppers seeking a full-size counter-depth model. The Samsung and Hamilton Beach options follow as more restrained full-size choices with distinct layouts. The Sharp refrigerators rank lower for general household use because their 24-inch widths and smaller capacities target a narrower need, though those same traits can make them the better fit for specific kitchens. I flag the LG’s counter-depth status as something to verify rather than assuming its product name establishes a flush fit.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Counter Depth Refrigerators
A refrigerator can be labeled counter-depth and still sit proud of the cabinets once doors, handles, and required ventilation space are included. I would start with the kitchen opening and household routine, then compare capacity and layout within the models that can physically fit. These broader checks can prevent a costly mismatch that a feature list alone will not reveal.
Measure the Whole Installation, Not Just the Cabinet Opening
Measure the opening’s width, height, and depth at several points, since walls and cabinets are not always perfectly square. Check the refrigerator’s full dimensions, including handles and doors, and leave the clearance specified by its manufacturer for ventilation and door movement. A counter-depth cabinet line does not guarantee that the refrigerator front will align exactly with the counter edge. Also confirm the path into the kitchen, including hallways, stair turns, and the entrance door. A model that fits the final opening can still be impossible to deliver in one piece. Use the installation guide for the exact model before ordering or removing existing cabinetry.
Treat Capacity as Usable Space, Not a Score
Listed cubic feet help compare models, but they do not show how efficiently shelves, drawers, and door bins fit your food. Think through a typical grocery load: tall bottles, wide containers, produce, leftovers, and frozen staples all compete for different kinds of space. The 10.3- and 11.5-cubic-foot Sharp models may work well for a compact household, but can feel restrictive if you shop in bulk or cook for a group. Larger capacity can reduce that pressure, yet it may come with a wider cabinet footprint or a deeper body. Match storage to your shopping rhythm rather than choosing the biggest number by default.
Choose a Door and Freezer Layout Around Your Routine
French doors let you open one side of the refrigerator at a time, which can be handy in a tight kitchen, while a bottom freezer drawer keeps frequently used refrigerated food at eye level. The Hamilton Beach HBFR1504’s two freezer drawers separate frozen food by drawer, whereas the HBF1662 uses a single freezer drawer beneath its French doors. Neither layout is automatically better: divided drawers can help organize categories but may limit the size of a single frozen item. Check how far doors and drawers extend into walkways, especially across from an island. Leave enough room to open drawers fully and retrieve food without blocking the main traffic path.
Verify Counter-Depth Claims and Door Clearance
Product titles are a starting point, not a substitute for the manufacturer’s dimension sheet and installation instructions. Confirm whether depth measurements include handles and doors, and check whether the model needs extra space behind it for connections or airflow. The LG LRFLC2706S is listed here as a 27-cubic-foot French-door smart refrigerator, but its supplied product name does not explicitly say counter-depth. If a flush look is the priority, verify its exact depth and classification before comparing it directly with models explicitly sold as counter-depth. Door hinges can also extend beyond the cabinet line, so check nearby walls and adjacent appliance panels. A few minutes with the specification sheet can avoid an expensive fit problem.
Decide Whether Smart Features Earn Their Space
Smart connectivity can be useful if you plan to use the specific functions offered, such as monitoring or adjusting settings through a connected app. The Midea, LG, and Samsung listings identify smart capability, but that label alone does not tell you which features are included or whether they require an account or reliable home Wi-Fi. Read the feature details and privacy terms rather than assuming every connected function will matter in daily use. If you mainly want dependable cold storage, prioritize capacity, layout, fit, and service access first. A feature you never use should not outweigh a refrigerator that fits your kitchen and routine better.
Compare the Total Ownership Practicalities
Before settling on a model, check warranty coverage, delivery and installation terms, water-line requirements if applicable, and how the appliance can be serviced locally. These details vary by seller and model, so confirm them for the exact refrigerator rather than relying on a brand-wide assumption. Ask whether old-appliance removal and door removal for delivery are included or need separate arrangements. Look at shelf and drawer adjustability, since flexible storage can matter more over time than a feature you rarely use. Keep the installation guide and model number after purchase for parts, maintenance, and service calls. These practical checks help distinguish a convenient fit from a frustrating one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a counter-depth refrigerator sit flush with my cabinets?
Not always. Counter-depth describes a shallower body, but doors and handles commonly extend beyond the cabinet fronts, and required installation clearances can affect the final position. Measure the full product depth, including handles, and compare it with your counter and cabinet depth. Check the manufacturer’s diagram for rear clearance, hinge space, and door swing. If a near-flush appearance is essential, confirm the exact installed projection before buying.
Is 10 to 12 cubic feet enough for a household?
It can be enough for one or two people who shop frequently and keep a modest amount of frozen food, but it may feel tight for a family or bulk shopper. The Sharp models in this lineup offer 10.3 and 11.5 cubic feet, so their compact 24-inch format comes with a substantial storage tradeoff. Consider the size of your usual grocery trips, the containers you store, and whether you need room for meal prep or entertaining. If you regularly fill a standard refrigerator, prioritize a larger-capacity model instead of assuming shelves can be rearranged to solve the shortfall.
Should I choose a 27-cubic-foot model or a narrower 24-inch refrigerator?
Choose based on the opening first: a 24-inch refrigerator may be the only sensible option for a narrow kitchen, while a 27-cubic-foot model needs room for its wider body and door swing. The Sharp compact models are aimed at constrained spaces; the Midea and LG offer much greater stated capacity. More capacity is only useful if the appliance fits through the delivery route and leaves doors and drawers usable. Measure both the installation space and the path into it before deciding between these formats.
How can I tell whether a model is truly counter-depth before ordering?
Check the exact model’s manufacturer specifications and installation guide rather than relying on a retailer category or a similar model name. Compare the listed depth with and without handles, then account for rear clearance and door projection. In this lineup, the LG LRFLC2706S listing does not explicitly identify it as counter-depth, so its dimensions and classification need confirmation before purchase. Ask the seller or manufacturer for a written dimension sheet if the listing leaves anything unclear. This is especially important when cabinet alignment is a primary reason for replacing your current refrigerator.
Is a two-drawer freezer better than a single freezer drawer?
Two drawers can make it easier to separate categories such as prepared meals and everyday frozen items, but dividers and drawer walls may reduce room for bulky packages. A single drawer can be simpler for large items, though its contents may need more sorting to stay accessible. The Hamilton Beach HBFR1504 uses two freezer drawers, while the HBF1662 has one freezer drawer, so choose by the types of food you freeze most often. Check the drawer dimensions and interior layout in the product details rather than deciding from the number of drawers alone. Also confirm that the drawer can open fully in your kitchen’s available space.
Conclusion
For the best overall balance, I recommend the Midea MRF27I6BST: its listed 27-cubic-foot capacity and French-door layout make it the strongest fit for shoppers seeking substantial storage in a model identified as counter-depth. For a value-minded, simpler full-size alternative, compare the Hamilton Beach HBF1662 and HBFR1504 by freezer layout and the space available in your kitchen; I would not treat either as a value pick without checking the seller’s current terms. For a premium-oriented buyer, the smart Midea, Samsung, and LG models merit a closer feature comparison, but confirm the LG’s depth before choosing it for a flush installation. For beginners or anyone furnishing a narrow kitchen, the 24-inch Sharp SJB1045SNS is a straightforward compact starting point, while the SJB1255GS offers slightly more listed capacity. For households that want separated frozen storage, the HBFR1504’s two freezer drawers are the lineup’s distinct option. My final rule: verify fit first, then choose capacity and layout around how your household actually stores food.
