We chose this particular refrigerator so it would fit a snug area. Although not necessary now, we realize there is always a possibility that one of us may need a walker or wheelchair. 
The refrigerator functions mechanically very well but the interior is so small that we must go to the grocery store more often. There are only two of us, both 70+ in age. We will eventually buy a second refrigerator for our garage out of concern we will need to keep more freezer food than this counter depth permits once twice per week shopping is challenging.
