Depth · measured with the handles

The shallowest refrigerators, measured with the handles and the gap behind

Short answer: No full-size freestanding refrigerator is 24 inches deep once its doors and handles are counted. The shallowest is 26 1/2 in with handles (Haier QHE16HYPFS), and each model needs another gap behind it. A typical counter-depth model is 30 1/4 in with handles, a standard-depth one 34 1/4 in.

⚠️ “24 inches deep” usually means the box only. Listings quote the cabinet depth; the doors, handles and the maker’s rear gap come on top.
