Hear, hear.

Not a lot of Mfgrs make 'em: Sansung, LG, Kitchenaid, ??

Kitchenaid KFCS22EVMS $2,420 quietest on market

Stainless steel front, something like SS on the sides. Fits EXACTLY
into opening, looks built-in.

Wife loves the shallow access - no reaching way back.

We were going to buy a Electrolux to fit into a tight space but SWMBO finally
decided she didn't want to pay several hundred more for 2/3s the 'fridge. The
fridge sticking into the traffic pattern isn't the best, but there's normally
only the two of us around (well, so far only one - she hasn't moved yet). We
ended up with the standard size 'fridge (27ft^3?), identical to the one in
this house.

Bottom line; significantly more money, for less, wasn't a winning combination.

Don't know which ones you compared, but in my
experience they were almost the same in cubic feet,
just a couple cft less. They make up for the depth
by being taller. I guess you could argue that depth
is better than more height, but going from a std
side by side to the counter depth one I didn't
notice any negatives.

*Quite* a bit less. When two dimensions are the same, and the other is 2/3s,
the space inside has to shrink too. They aren't like Hondas (bigger on the
inside ;-). The Electrolux models are 28cu. ft. vs 23 (69 1/2" vs. 70" tall).

Nope, they can't be taller, and they would have to be at least half again as
tall, or they wouldn't fit the standard hole. They're exactly the same height
and width but 2/3s the depth. The two of us really don't need the added size
(except for the freezer, perhaps) but they wanted several hundred bux more and
that wasn't going to happen.

I have to disagree. Go look at Kitchenaid side by sides for example.
In the standard type they have units that are 25.4 to 26 cft
In the counter depth, they have units that are 23 to 24.5 cft.

The two dimensions are NOT the same. The counter depth fridges
are TALLER.

Of course they can be taller and at least some of them
are. I haven't looked at all of them, but I know that with
Kitchenaid they are taller and the volume is as reported
above, ie within a couple cft of the standard type.

Kitchenaid and my experience putting one in say you are wrong.

So they cripple the standard unit so the cabinet depth one is the same.

Cite. I showed you where this was *not* the case with Electrolux. They are
the same (1/2" difference, which is within the range of the leveling legs).

The standard depth unit is small. It's easy to make the CD style similar.

and they would have to be at least half again as
tall, or they wouldn't fit the standard hole.

Kitchenaid and my experience putting one in say you are wrong.

Because they make a small standard unit and their CD is "normal" (for a
cabinet depth). There just isn't as much space inside, when you lop off 8"
from the front. Not possible.

Recently purchased a Whirlpool side/side counter depth in Stainless.
Flush with the cabinets and counter top and seems to blend right in.
No appreciable loss of interior storage. Got it at Lowes for a pretty
good price ($899 on sale - free delivery)

Try telling that to krw. He claims you lose 33% of your
space by going to counterdepth. You actually lose 10% to
15%, but like you from a practical standpoint I did not
notice a difference. But also like you, I notice a BIG
difference in not having the fridge sticking out into the
kitchen. It looks, finished, almost built-in.

You lose the same space as the cabinet depth is shallower. That's a *fact*.

That's a lie. You can't take a standard fridge, just pull the
door off, cut the cabinet down and put it back together.
Well, maybe you can because you're clearly living in your
own little world.

For the rest of us, when you compare actual fridges,
that you can buy you can find similar counterdepth ones
available that are 10 to 15% of the volume of std ones.
Not 33% less as you claimed.
And some of those make up part of the space lost
in going counterdepth by being taller and/or wider.
The 71" Kitchenaid sitting in my kitchen, being an
example. Or those Frenchdoor units at Electolux
that are 3/8" taller and 3/8" inch wider than the
comparable std fridge.

Why do you just keep digging your hole deeper?

They do cost more and have less space, but there's one more thing to
think about: Door swing.

In some kitchens, where the fridge is near a wall, think about the
where the hinge line of the door will be. I couldn't put a counter
depth fridge in because the right side door wouldn't be able to open
all the way. A regular french-door fridge allowed the fridge door to
open fully into the kitchen entryway.
