I’m ready to replace my refrigerator. Purchased after buying my house in 1989. I didn’t do anything special. Randomly pointed at a 19.5 cubic foot white Fridge and asked when it could be delivered.
Fits flush next to my free-standing stove and cabinets.
I measured the fridge from the wall to its door. approx 28.5 in to 29 in not including the door handle.
I start looking at specs on Home Depot and Best Buy. A 19.5 cubic foot is 32 inches in depth (without the handle). :rolleyes:

I have a island connected to a faux brick room divider. L shaped
Space to walk by is limited. We have about 24 in clearance. We can’t lose almost 4 inches of that.

Whats happened to refrigerators in the past 25 years? I wondered if they are including a 4 inch air gap from the wall to the fridge?
They do sell counter depth fridges. At a premium cost. about 400 to 500 bucks more to get one thats 28 inches deep. :smack: Only premium models offer it. Includes useless features like water dispensers and ice makers.
WTH have these fools done?
