The counter-depth GE GWE19JYLFS French-door refrigerator blends seamlessly into kitchen cabinetry to create a seamless appearance. It offers plenty of storage space in the refrigerator compartment as well as two drawers that are humidity-controlled, as well as an additional freezer shelf that is full width to store frozen food items. It's also ENERGY STAR certified for energy-efficient performance.
The refrigerator has a sleek slate finish that makes it among GE's most attractive models to date, sporting a minimalist design that will fit modern kitchens flawlessly. It's even available in stainless steel in case you're looking for a slightly shinier model. The touch panel is simple and simple to use, with a simple, straightforward design that works well with the slate finish. I am also impressed that GE has chosen to use an autofill water dispenser instead a flashier touchscreen, like other refrigerators. It's also a good feature because it keeps your fridge from overflowing.
This fridge is a little smaller than some of its counterparts, but it's still spacious enough for the majority of people. It can hold up to 23 bags of groceries and it has a deep and flexible freezer for storing large items like trays of cookie dough or meals that are pre-packaged. The freezer also has distinct climates to keep food fresh. It's a great choice for those looking for an affordable French-door refrigerator with high-quality features.
The GE Cafe Series includes some of the most beautiful matte appliances available on the market. The PYE22PYNFS will not fail to impress. It's part of a new series of appliances that include oven, range dishwasher, dishwasher, and more, all with stunning matte black or white finish. It's an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for an affordable, luxurious appliance that instantly elevates their kitchen in one fell drop. I like how they've paired the matte finish with a handful of the best features offered by GE such as a handy autofill water dispenser as well as settings to make hot drinks.
Bosch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This Bosch refrigerator has a sleek and minimal design that is ideal for modern kitchens. It's flush with the countertop and hides the hinges and feet. This is a chic upgrade.
This refrigerator is also energy-efficient when compared to other French door refrigerators we have rated. It consumes about 568 kWh annually which could save you some dollars on your electricity bill. It also performs well in our tests for refrigerators and scores above average in temperature uniformity, which measures how evenly the freezer and fridge maintain temperatures.
With the capacity of 20.8 cubic feet, this Bosch fridge has plenty of space to store your groceries, drinks, and leftovers. The spacious drawers with crisper edges and adjustable shelves allow you to organize food items and make the most of storage space. The refrigerator comes with an ice and water dispenser that is built inside the door. This can save valuable shelf space.
VitaFresh is a Bosch technology, keeps food fresher up to three times as long as traditional fridges which rely on temperature controls. The system balances both temperature and humidity according to the food setting to help you avoid wasting food and keep your groceries tasting delicious. Other food-preserving features are also available, like Eco-Mode to cut down on cooling and Holiday Mode to preserve foods while you're on vacation.
The fridge comes with some lovely user-friendly touches, like an easy-to-use LED light that displays the temperature in the present and lets you pick the temperature you prefer.

Other great features include a convenient deli tray and an extra-large freezer that can fit large frozen meals or pizzas.

LG Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This sleek refrigerator has a lot to provide. The slim profile allows it to be easily incorporated in the majority of kitchens. The mirrored InstaView panel gives any room a luxurious feel. The refrigerator is also ENERGY STAR certified, which means it is energy efficient. It is spacious with plenty of space. It also has a door in the door that allows you to get snacks without opening the entire fridge. The Ice dispenser can create both crushed and cube ice.
The only drawback to this model is the cost, which is a bit too high for a counter-depth french-door refrigerator. But if you can afford it, we recommend this LG fridge for its excellent storage capacity and intelligent capabilities. You can control the fridge via your smartphone, and program it to remind you to change the filters. You can also make use of the built-in application to keep track of your food's temperature and expiration dates.
As with other refrigerators we've tried like the LG Counter-Depth MAX refrigerator has a door-in-door compartment that allows you to store your items behind another door in the freezer section of your refrigerator. This feature is useful to get food items on the move, but we weren't sure if it was an advantage. We found the temperatures of the Door-in-Door to be a bit higher than other areas of the fridge, and the extra step of opening another door just for groceries seemed unnecessary.
The refrigerator is also a great choice if you are seeking a counter-depth French-door refrigerator. Its spacious interior has plenty of space for fresh foods and drinks, and it has water dispensers, two ice makers that make four kinds of ice and adjustable shelves. Frydge UK has a few smart features we find useful including night mode, or the ability to control it with your smartphone.
Before you buy, measure the area you intend to put the fridge in and double-check its dimensions against the dimensions of your current refrigerator to ensure it fits. Jessica Petrino Ball is an appliance education specialist with AJ Madison. She says that you should make sure that the fridge fits through your hallways and doors.
Frigidaire Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This Frigidaire counter depth refrigerator is perfect for kitchens with little space. Its lower depth means it will not take up as much space on your floor, or extend out as far from your counters. The refrigerator comes with a wealth of storage space, with large, in-door bins that can store bulkier items as well as customizable shelves that can hold taller condiment containers. If you want to upgrade the look of your kitchen, this refrigerator is available with a stainless-steel finish. It is easy to clean and smudge proof.
The Gallery FGHC2331PF comes with a single-access door that allows you to access all the items at once. This helps the fridge retain more of its cold air, and reduces the amount of energy consumed and food waste during normal use.
The fridge also comes with a nifty Custom-Flex Temp Drawer, which enables you to set the temperature separately of fridge and freezer compartments, meaning it can be used to store meat/seafood, cold drinks deli/snacks, or even chilled wine. It's a great feature, but we found that the drawer is generally cooler than the rest of the fridge, which is a little frustrating for users who want the right temperature.
During our performance test in our performance test, the FGHC2331PF was warm in nearly all of its interior (the spots are orange on the heat map). This is a huge disappointment considering it's priced lower than competitors from Electrolux, which did better in this test and has a reputation for quality and durability.
Other notable features of the fridge include a dual ice maker, PureAir RAF-2 filter, and a spacious Crisper that balances between retaining the right amount of moisture to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, while eliminating excess humidity to avoid spoilage. It's also the only model with a counter-depth that we've tested with an adjustable shelf that lets you adjust its height to provide the best storage space. It's a great option for those who prefer the French-door design but don't have more than $2200 to spend.
