Large-capacity refrigerators: more capacity for your home

Upgrading to a larger-capacity home refrigerator gives you more cubic feet of storage for family-favorite fresh foods like meat, dairy and produce, as well as prepared foods and leftovers. If you have a large family, this extra storage space can help ensure that you have plenty for everyone while storing more essentials. With a large-capacity refrigerator, you can stock up on food and cut down on trips to the grocery store.

How big is a large-capacity home refrigerator?

There is no official threshold that defines a refrigerator as “large” or “extra-large.” Typically, large-capacity refrigerators can be around 36 inches wide, over 70 inches tall, and 33 to 35 inches deep. Capacity can range from around 22 - 28 cu. ft.

When your current refrigerator no longer stores enough to meet your family’s needs, that’s an indication that it’s time to upgrade to a larger fridge.

Large-capacity refrigerator configurations

The largest-capacity refrigerators from Whirlpool brand measure up to 36 inches wide and over 70 inches high, so you’ll need to be sure you have adequate room available to install a larger appliance. Depth is also a consideration; some kitchens lack the space for a deeper refrigerator. As you consider different refrigerator types, size, storage space and configuration are all important factors.

Before you start shopping for your roomy new refrigerator, measure the dimensions of the area where you’d like to put it. If you need some help, follow our easy refrigerator measuring guide.
