The number of reasons why this particular refrigerator fits our needs is crazy. 1. We had a very small opening where we could put a fridge and this is as snug as a bug in a rug. 2. The counter depth was a must. 3. The ice and water function is absolutely perfect. 4. I'm short and wanted the bottom freezer. 5. This is one of the smaller fridge options on the market and still can fit quite a bit!
