Kitchenaid makes one that you might be able to find on sale below $2K. Not much else to choose from unless you’re willing to spend more.

Which width?

I have been looking for a while and there are not that many : Beyond the Fisher Paykell indicated above, I have found a few if you can fit a 32.75 "wide,

If you need a smaller door, you have this Haier https://www.amazon.com/Haier-15-Cu-Ft-French-Door-Refrigerator-HRF15N3AGS/dp/B01B7V39TE/ref=psdc_13397451_t1_B06VY44V75

After that, there are a few for which you need at least 35 " wide.

Can you tell us model number or link for the KitchenAid, please? I have the same question as the OP>.

I have an older version of this refrigerator https://www.appliancesconnection.com/fisher-paykel-rf170brpx6.html?ref=froogle&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzsz-BRCCARIsANotFgOZBtKTkMMOSPp0hFgx95Yw_pCvPvtK4o0YSng_I17z353uTjomuUMaApHjEALw_wcB

It's a bottom freezer model, counter depth, and only 31 inches wide. I've owned it for a few years and have had no problems. I LOVE it and call it my magic refrigerator because it holds more than my old Kenmore 36 inch refrigerator. It's also so quiet I don't know when it runs. (My old one sounded like airplanes taking off). I'm doing a remodel of a condo and plan to use the same version of the refrigerator for that.

Stay away from LG and Samsung, seems they have a lot of issues. I would recommend Kitcen Aid or Whirlpool, they are much more dependable.

I dont know a Whirlpool that is counter deep [-- and yes, I know that CD fridge are not the same as integrated fridges, for the person who regularly makes this point), which is what the OP wanted (and certainly not a narrow one) (less than 33", which is what I need), In addition, I have a Whirlpool DW and it is really bad, so not sure I would recommand Whirlpool, but my guess is we all have our experiences.

I have a LG and am happy with it (not counterdeep, however)

@quadesl

Thanks. Never saw it, probably because it is too wide for me.

GE has a couple that are 33 inches wide but availabilty might be an issue.

I’ve had this Samsung refrigerator for six years without any issues. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-33-in-W-17-5-cu-ft-French-Door-Refrigerator-in-Stainless-Steel-and-Counter-Depth-RF18HFENBSR-2/302577277

These French Door refrigerators meet your requirements:

• Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ (reviews also on HD)
• GE GWE19JSLSS
• Haier* HRQ16N3BGS

*Haier is a GE Appliances brand

I'm trying to find the best brand though - don't want to end up having to buy a new one any time soon. Do you know anything about Fisher-Paykel?

Does anyone know about Fisher-Paykel or Forno brands? I know Forno is made in China, but is that always a bad thing? They supposedly have great customer service. Thank you!

Fisher and Paykel started in New Zealand and sold primarily in Australia and New Zealand until early 2000's when they expanded into the US. Now they are part of the Haier Group, which is a Chinese appliance and consumer electronic company. I think that you don't hear much about them because until more recently they weren't sold in the big box stores, usually sold more through smaller distributors. My daughter had a F&P washing machine that was a beast. We all wanted to cry when it finally died. The repairman who came said he had no experience with them because they never broke. Her's literally just wore out after a zillion years.

GE and Fisher and Paykel are both part of the Haier group but are not manaufactured in China, GE is manufacturered in Kentucky and Fisher and Paykel are manufactued in Australia, New Zealand, and California.

Thanks for much for the info! Very interesting. So what manufacturer would you personally buy a fridge from? And do you think Fisher& Paykels are still well built? Would they be hard to get repaired here? Do you think GE is made well too? Are these brands made differently because they are different brands? Or are they all basically made the same because they are all owned by the same parent company? So many questions! Ha!

I have a Fisher & Paykel French Door counter depth refrigerator. I opted for the model without either in-door or internal water dispenser and ice maker, primarily because my understanding is that those features are more prone to fail (regardless of the brand). I have been happy with it so far (it’s about 18 months old). Seems well built and more than meets my needs. I can’t speak to issues about getting repairs done because I haven’t needed any. I understand people like the Bosch as well but it wasn’t yet available in my area when I purchased my refrigerator. Good Luck!

I bought my Fisher and Paykel refrigerator in 2016 and still love it. In fact, I'm buying another one for a condo I just purchased as part of the kitchen remodel. I've had no trouble at all with it.

As far as whether GE and F&P being owned by the same company make them the "same" - No, they still have separate manufacturing divisions, just as you'll find Haier appliances as part of the same company. Both F&P and GE were in financial trouble when Haier bought majority ownership to become a giant whitegoods corp. They aren't like the old Kenmore (Sears) brand that changed manufacturers all the time depending on who Sears contracted with to produce their appliances.

Here are appliance reliability information from Consumer Reports readers surveys.

From appliancesconnection.com there are no Fisher and Paykel refrigerators that meet your requirements (counter-depth, French door, 16-22 cf, no door dispensers, $2K or less). Probably the best bang-for-your-back is that Whirlpool WRQA59CNKZ French Door, 19.4 cubic feet, at $1980.

We are very happy with our Whirlpool WRF540CWHB. Water is in the door jamb: very convenient and space saving. Ice is in the freezer.

Mom and Jaykam, which models did you buy?

Thanks for all the responses. They are helping me!

The GE and FP that I looked at 11-12 months ago were all made in PRC FWIW. If COO matters....

I have this model - https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/RF170WDRX5N.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAlNf-BRB_EiwA2osbxU4CmO_MCiRI-Qkd4zuf8UU7jQLbKtKHWHyKX22F3uchRD-UbZqJMxoCUikQAvD_BwE - which is priced over your $2000 price point at $2,299 but F&P has another model - https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/RF170B6N.html - which, if you don't mind a swing door bottom freezer looks very similar for $2099.

After running out of patience repairing my Samsung, I replaced it with a Fisher & Paykel. I chose it because it and a Samsung model were the only two that would fit in my small space and I wouldn't buy another Samsung. The F&P is counter-depth, French door with bottom freezer, no water or ice. So far so good, one year in.
