Amana ABB1924BRM in kitchen with dishwasher, sink, and grey and white cabinets — Narrow, 30-inch-wide refrigerators are great for smaller spaces but are often deeper than kitchen cabinets.

In America’s kitchens, refrigerators that are 3 feet wide (or wider) tend to be the most popular. That means if you’re in the market for a new 30-inch-wide refrigerator, you may find your options limited. Just around one-fifth of the more than 250 refrigerators in Consumer Reports’ ratings are that size. To help you zero in on a great but slimmer addition to your kitchen, we’ve assembled our top picks of 30-inch-wide models.

There are a couple of caveats, though. “With the exception of built-in models, you’re unlikely to find a 30-inch-wide fridge that’s counter-depth,” says Larry Ciufo, Consumer Reports’ test engineer for refrigerators. “You’ll need to be okay with a fridge that sticks out from your kitchen cabinets.” Fridges that are 30 inches wide tend to be at least 30 inches deep. What’s more, slim fridges tend to lack many of the features that we track, like a water dispenser or adjustable or spillproof shelves.
