We have limited space for a fridge in our kitchen. We had an 18 cu ft. Fridge and for virtually the same footprint were able to replace it with this 20 cu ft. model because unlike our old fridge,  there is no handle protruding from the front of this model. Even though 2 cu ft. doesn't sound like much it sure makes a big difference. The only thing we were disappointed with was that since we didn't go for the automatic ice maker we would of liked another shelve for the freezer. It's quite a large space for only one tray.
