Okay, so, you're dreaming of a built-in refrigerator, but for one reason or another, it just can't happen right now. The next best thing? A counter-depth refrigerator, which is designed to be more flush with your counters (which are generally about 24 inches deep). Counter-depth fridges can give you the illusion of a built-in, at a smaller price point and without all the extra customization. If you're shopping for a counter-depth fridge, check out these options—with different styles and cool features, there's something for every kitchen.
With a French door refrigerator section a bottom freezer drawer, and a custom-temperature middle drawer that can be set from -6 to 45 degrees, you really can't go wrong with this fridge. Plus, it has an extra tall built-in ice maker and water dispenser, so you can easily fill bigger glasses and pitchers.
If you'd prefer a smart fridge, go with Samsung's 4-Door Flex refrigerator. In addition to two fridge doors on top, a freezer door on the bottom, and a flex door (which can be used as either a freezer or refrigerator) on the bottom as well, this fridge has a smart touch screen built in with Samsung Family Hub. Use the voice assistant, leave notes for your family, make your shopping list right there, and even see inside your fridge when you're on-the-go, via the associated app.
If stainless steel and black finishes bore you, go for something with a little more pizzazz, like this Bronze side-by-side fridge from Whirlpool. It features a built-in ice and water dispenser and a FreshFlow air filter to keep weird smells at bay, plus the finish is fingerprint resistant so it's easy to keep clean and will always look its best.
Another fingerprint-resistant option, this black stainless (with metallic accents!) KitchenAid fridge with French doors and a bottom freezer drawer has an interior water dispenser, along with ExtendFresh technology, humidity-controlled crispers, and a produce preserver to keep food fresher longer.
If you're looking for a door-in-door option, this fridge gives you easier access to beverages and other items you need more readily on-hand while still keeping the rest of your food cold thanks to its ColdSaver panel technology. It can also be connected to Google Home or Amazon Alexa devices as well as your phone to manage food and monitor energy usage.
For a fridge that also helps you get your morning caffeine fix, this French door, bottom freezer refrigerator features a built-in Keurig brewing system (and you can schedule hot water right from your phone!) It also features voice control options, a drop-down tray to allow for extra door storage, and alerts to let you know when the temperature is too high, the water filter needs to be replaced, and more.
This refrigerator's Dual AirCool system ensures that temperatures stay even in both the fridge and bottom freezer sections, plus it has a full-width chiller drawer perfect for storing meat and fish and a retractable shelf for fitting in tall items. It comes in stainless steel or black stainless.
Another door-in-door option, but with this one, all you have to do is knock twice on the glass panel to illuminate your fridge and see inside without even opening the door. When you do open its doors, the fridge releases cold air to keep food from going above the right temperature. As if that weren't smart enough, a sensor can open the door for you automatically when your hands are full with groceries.

This refrigerator from Miele features NoFrost technology to keep ice from forming, along with shelves that can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. Plus, SoftClose means doors close gently and automatically so items don't fall out. Door bins and shelves can be rearranged easily to maximize storage space. It also includes an ice maker, but not a dispenser.
And if you want a fridge that's a little bit sexier (yes, that's a thing!) try this Jenn-Air refrigerator—it may look like your standard stainless steel French door fridge with a bottom freezer, but the interior? Instead of the plain white you're used to, the inside of this refrigerator is all black. Plus, it has a section especially for herbs to keep their stems watered, and has Wi-Fi connectivity so you can monitor features via your phone.
