What is an apartment refrigerator?
These small space appliances offer many of the same features as full size fridges, but generally have smaller total capacity. An apartment fridge is designed to make efficient use of space in tight quarters like apartments, space-conscious homes, in-law suites and entertainment rooms.
Apartment size refrigerator dimensions
Designed to fit into small kitchens, 24" wide apartment refrigerators are slimmer than a 30–36" wide standard refrigerator, but are usually in the same 60–75" height range. This means that apartment fridges have more storage than a dorm or mini refrigerator, with interiors similar to a full-size fridge. To see if a small space refrigerator works for you, learn what to consider when measuring to fit a refrigerator.
What should I consider when shopping for an apartment fridge?
Space Efficiency
Look for exterior features that help you easily navigate a small kitchen, like reversible doors and counter-depth models. On the inside, shelves that slide back to make room for tall items help you use the same space for different purposes.
Useful Features
It can be difficult to find a fully-featured apartment fridge. Whirlpool® small space refrigerators don’t sacrifice features like Fast Cool, an ice maker with the Fast Ice option and electronic temperature controls.
Organization
Make the most of every inch with flexible storage, like hanging storage for cans, ways to instantly add shelf space, and bins that slide up and down. You can also free up shelf space by storing bulky items like milk in a gallon door bin.
Style and Layout
Whirlpool® small space refrigerators are available in top-freezer and bottom-freezer styles. Our bottom-freezer models have a large freezer door that swings outward with multiple drawers inside to help you fit and find items as large as a turkey.

Where else can I use an apartment sized refrigerator?
Apartment refrigerators aren’t just for city apartments. If you have a condo, mother-in-law suite, vacation rental, tiny home, accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or entertainment space, a smaller refrigerator might be right for you.
