Due to a small galley-style kitchen and only one place to put a refrigerator, actual counter depth was a must. While choices were a little limited, the features on this refrigerator really set it apart from the others. I appreciate the well-lit space and glass shelving to let all that light brighten up the space. French doors also allow less space to be taken up when opening the doors - including the freezer! Sealed space behind each freezer door also means opening the freezer doesn't empty the space of its cold air either. Full-front drawers in the freezer also tip down when pulled out for easy access to the drawer contents.
