Small Kitchen: need 30 inch wide fridge counter-depth
Comments (5)This is hard to resolve. In the far distant future, kitchens will have one wall with a deep counter, i.e. 28" or 30" deep. Not today. Too many people cutting a 4' by 8' sheet in half to make "standard" size cabinetry.... Are you aware of Cabinet depth and Counter depth ? These are two different terms for what you want. One meaning the entire appliance including door is flush with your 24" deep counter -- but that loses So Much space I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Another term means the box before the door is 24" deep, and a thin door adds another 2 or 3 inches. If your layout lets you use a French Door fridge without making you open both doors all the time, you have one more option and a more regular depth. The minute you look at a shallower depth French-door fridge you have to spend $500 more just for a basic model. French-door fridge-bottom-freezers LG and another brand too, but I forget which one it is right now. Single door fridge-bottom-freezers that are not as deep as Amana Whirlpool etc : Miele KF1801 (84" tall). Summit FFBF285SS 26" deep (75" tall). Only 28" wide so the door doesn't need as much space as a 30" door. Liebherr has a couple. Fisher Paykel is about 31" wide and 26" deep Consider cutting into the wall to make a recess to stick the back of the fridge into. -David...See MoreCounter-depth 30" fridge with ice maker?
Comments (2)You might have an easier time finding a Golden Ticket in a Wonka Bar. The ONLY thing that fits your criteria that I know of is made by Blomberg. I'm not vouching for it or them, just passing it on. Liebherr has one that's close - it misses because of its $4,000-$5000 pricetag. Here is a link that might be useful: Blomberg BRFB1800IM...See MoreSmall kitchen: need 30 inch wide fridge counter-depth
Comments (10)We will have the 27" subzeros (all fridge and all freezers). I think the benefit to counterdepth is that stuff doesn't get lost in the back of the fridge! Most of the space in my current regular fridge is used up by stuff that probably shouldn't even be there anymore. The shorter depth may impact your ability to store larger platters during entertaining, which is my biggest worry. I'm likely going to get a fridge for the basement to store the big stuff for parties....See MoreEnclosed counter depth fridge with 12” deep cabinet above
Comments (5)Pulling the cabinet and bulkhead out only three inches, if that’s what your husband is proposing, does not solve your problem. Then you still have side skins on the side of your fridge that have no where to go. You could pull the shallower cabinet out to the front of the fridge and run the side skin up so that there is empty space behind the cabinet, and leave it without a bulkhead. But I don’t see how you manage to have the side skins down the fridge if you don’t have the cabinet front flush with the front of the side skins....See Moresue36
