The counter-depth GE GWE19JYLFS French-door refrigerator integrates seamlessly with kitchen cabinetry to create a seamless appearance. It has plenty of storage in the refrigerator compartment, two drawers that are humidity controlled and a large shelf for frozen food items. It's also ENERGY STAR certified for energy-efficient performance.

The elegant slate finish makes this one of GE's most attractive models. Its understated design is perfect for contemporary kitchens. It's even available in stainless steel, for those who want a more polished version. The touch panel is simple to use and has a minimalist design that blends in well with the slate finish. I am impressed by the way GE went with an autofill option for water dispensers as well, as opposed to an extravagant touchscreen like other fridges. It's also a great feature since it stops your fridge from overflowing.

This fridge is a little smaller than its counterparts however, it's still big enough for the majority of people. It can accommodate up to 23 bags and has a flexible and deep freezer that is ideal for large items like cookie dough trays, or pre-packaged food items. The freezer also has distinct climates to keep food fresh. Overall, it's an excellent option for anyone who is seeking a top-quality French door refrigerator that won't break the bank.

The GE Cafe Series has some of the most attractive matte appliances on the market and the PYE22PYNFS is an exception. It's part of a new line of appliances that includes dishwasher, a range oven and more in a matte white or black finish. It's an excellent choice for anyone who wants an affordable, luxurious appliance that instantly enhances their kitchen in one fell step. Frydge like how they've paired the matte finish with a few of the best features offered by GE such as a handy autofill water dispenser and settings for making hot beverages.

Bosch Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator

This Bosch refrigerator features a sleek and minimal design that is perfect for modern kitchens. It's affixed to the countertop and conceals its hinges and feet making it a subtle design upgrade.

This refrigerator is also fairly energy-efficient as compared to other French door refrigerators in our ratings. It consumes 568 kWh annually which could help you save money on electricity bills. It also scored well in our fridge tests and scored above average in temperature uniformity, which is a measure of how well refrigerator and freezer maintain temperatures.

With a capacity of 20.8 cubic feet the Bosch fridge has plenty of space to store your food items and drinks as well as leftovers. The spacious drawers that are crisper and shelves that can be adjusted make it easy to organize food items and maximize storage space. The refrigerator also has a a convenient door-in-door ice and water dispenser that doesn't occupy valuable shelf space.

VitaFresh is one of the latest Bosch technology ensures food is fresher up to three times longer than conventional refrigerators that rely on temperature controls. The system regulates temperature and humidity according to the food setting so you can avoid wasted food and keep your groceries tasting delicious. Other food preservation features are available, like Eco-Mode to cut down on cooling, and Holiday Mode to preserve foods when you're away on vacation.


The refrigerator is fitted with nice features for the user, such as simple LED lights that displays the temperature currently in use. You can also choose the setting you prefer. It also has a stainless-steel interior that is easier to clean than chrome finishes. A handy deli tray and a large freezer that can accommodate frozen meals or pizzas, are other nice features. You can even monitor the fridge's performance via your smartphone with the Home Connect app. This is particularly useful in the event that you've neglected to shut the fridge after you've eaten or drinks, as it will notify you when the door has been left ajar. The reviewer was offered promotional incentives or a sweepstakes entrance when they wrote this. This fridge is not available at this time.

LG Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator

This sleek refrigerator has a lot to provide. The slim profile makes it easy to fit in the majority of kitchens. The mirrored InstaView panel provides any space with a luxurious look. The refrigerator is also Energy Certified STAR, which means it will be energy efficient. It is spacious with plenty of space. Additionally, it comes with a door-in-door that lets you access snacks without opening the entire refrigerator and the ice maker is able to make both cubes and crushed ice.

The only real downside of this model is its price tag which is a bit excessive for a counter-depth French-door fridge. But if you can afford it, we suggest this LG fridge for its excellent storage capacity and intelligent capabilities. For instance you can control it with your smartphone and set it to notify you when it's time to change the filter. The app can also be used to check the temperature of your food and its expiration date.

Like other refrigerators we've tested and tested, the LG Counter-Depth MAX refrigerator has a door-in-door compartment that lets you keep items behind a second door in the freezer section of your refrigerator. This feature allows you to get food when you're on the go, however we weren't convinced it offered any additional convenience. The Door-in-Door temperatures were slightly warmer than other sections of the refrigerator and we weren't convinced it was necessary to open a second door to get groceries.

The fridge is also a good option if you're seeking a counter-depth French-door refrigerator. Its spacious interior is full of room for fresh food and drinks and has water dispensers, dual ice makers that can create four types of ice, and shelves that can be adjusted. It also comes with a few smart features that we think are useful, including a night mode and ability to control the fridge via your smartphone.

Before purchasing, take a measurement of the space you're planning to put the fridge in and double-check the dimensions against the dimensions of your current refrigerator to ensure it will fit. You should also check that it will fit through the doors and hallways of your home, according to Jessica Petrino Ball, an educator for appliances at AJ Madison.

Frigidaire Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator

This Frigidaire counter depth refrigerator is perfect for kitchens with limited space. With a shorter depth than other models, it won't stretch out as far beyond your counters or take up lots of floor space. The refrigerator comes with a wealth of storage, including large in-door bins to keep bulkier items in and also adjustable shelving racks to hold taller condiment jars. If you're looking to improve the look of your entire kitchen, this refrigerator comes with a stainless steel finish. It is easy to clean and smudge proof.

The Gallery FGHC2331PF comes with a single-access door that makes it easier 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 when it is in use regularly.

The fridge comes with a Custom-Flex Temp drawer which allows you to set temperature independently from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This means it can be used as a place for cold drinks or meat/seafood and snacks, or chilled wine. It's a cool feature, but we noticed that the drawer is generally colder than the rest of the fridge, which can be somewhat frustrating for those who are looking for a specific setting.

In our performance test during our performance test, the FGHC2331PF was warm in nearly all areas of its interior (the spots are orange in the heat map). This is a huge disappointment and especially considering that it's priced at a lower cost than its counterparts from Electrolux who did better in the test and are known for their durability and high-end quality.

Other noteworthy features of the refrigerator include an ice maker with two ice makers, PureAir RAF-2 filter, and a large Crisper that balances between retaining the right amount of moisture to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, as well as removing excess humidity in order to avoid spoilage. It's also the only counter-depth model we've tested to offer a sliding shelf that lets you adjust its height to provide the best storage space. Overall, it's a solid choice for those who are stuck on the French-door design but don't want to pay more than $2,200.
