How to choose a refrigerator that fits

Start with the layout

French door models give wide shelves and fresh food at eye level. Side-by-side units suit narrow kitchens and give quick freezer access. Top freezer models are the most affordable and reliable, while bottom freezer models keep fresh food up high. Pick the layout that matches how your household actually cooks and shops.

Get the size and depth right

Measure the width, height and depth of your space, and leave room for the doors to swing and for airflow at the back. Counter-depth models sit flush with cabinets for a built-in look; standard-depth models hold more but stick out further. Capacity is measured in cubic feet — roughly 18 to 22 cu. ft. suits most families, larger for bigger households. Look for the ENERGY STAR label to cut running costs over the fridge’s decade-plus lifespan.

Measure for delivery before you buy

A fridge that fits the kitchen still has to get there. Measure your doorways, hallways and any turns — our measuring guide walks through every dimension, and the free fit checker tool tells you instantly whether it clears. We deliver across Dale City, Manassas, Alexandria and the rest of the DMV service area; see delivery details.

Match features to your kitchen

Ice and water dispensers, dual evaporators for better humidity, flexible drawers and smart features all add convenience — but on scratch and dent pricing you can often afford a higher trim for the same budget.
