60 cm-wide slim-line refrigerator — dimensions, capacities, and top- or bottom-mounted freezer
Refrigerators 60 cm wide in our catalog have a capacity of up to 344 liters. Dimensions vary by model—height 141 to 187 cm, depth 57 to 70 cm—and what is the difference between top-freezer and bottom-freezer models of the same width?
The short answer: Up to 344 liters, 60 wide
Eight freestanding refrigerators with a width of up to 61 cm were listed in our catalog. Their width ranges from 54.9 to 60 cm, their height from 141.2 to 187 cm, their depth from 56.8 to 69.5 cm, and their capacity from 260 to 344 liters. This is the upper limit for this width: anyone who needs more than 344 liters will require a wider niche.
The next size up in the catalog is 70 cm—we don’t carry any models that measure between 60 and 70 cm—and the capacity starts at 381 liters. In other words, an additional 10 cm in width equals at least 37 additional liters.
Top-freezer or bottom-freezer models of the same width
Five of the models have a top-mounted freezer and three have a bottom-mounted freezer. The most noticeable difference is in height: the models with a top-mounted freezer are shorter, 141.2 to 176.5 cm, while the three models with bottom-mounted freezers are taller—185 to 187 cm—with capacities ranging from 300 to 344 liters.
A 60-wide bottom-freezer model is convenient for those who mainly open the refrigerator compartment, since the shelves used daily are at eye level. However, if there is an upper cabinet above the niche, a unit measuring 185 cm plus ventilation clearance may not fit—in which case, a top-mounted freezer with a height of 169–176.5 cm is the solution.
Depth: Only two in the cabinet line
Of the eight models, only two are 60 cm deep or less: 56.8 and 59.2 cm. The rest are 64 to 69.5 cm deep and will protrude from kitchen cabinets, which are typically about 60 cm deep. In a narrow kitchen, where a narrow refrigerator is chosen due to lack of space, this protrusion is often more important than the width.
A 60-cm niche: What actually fits
Two of the models are exactly 60 cm wide, and five are between 59.4 and 59.5 cm wide. In a niche that is exactly 60 cm wide, they are flush against the walls, with no clearance for installation and no ventilation gap—and in most cases, this doesn’t work. The exact requirement is listed in the installation instructions for each model, and it’s a good idea to check it before placing an order.
For an exceptionally narrow niche, there are two options: The narrowest model measured, at 54.9 cm, is a 260-liter top-freezer refrigerator that is 141.2 cm tall. A built-in refrigerator is 54 cm wide, but it is designed for installation inside a cabinet and requires a dedicated niche—see the guide to built-in refrigerators.
Frequently asked questions
What capacity refrigerator fits in a 60 cm wide space?
Up to 344 liters in the models listed in our catalog—for both top-freezer and bottom-freezer models. The full range is 260 to 344 liters.
Do you have a 60-centimeter-wide bottom-freezer refrigerator?
Yes. Three models were measured, ranging from 59.5 to 60 cm in width and 300 to 344 liters in capacity. They are the tallest models in this width range: 185 to 187 cm.
How deep is a slim refrigerator?
56.8 to 69.5 cm in the models measured. Only two out of eight are 60 cm deep or less, so most of the narrow refrigerators protrude beyond the line of the cabinets.
Will a 60-wide refrigerator fit into a 60-centimeter niche?
It’s usually not a good fit. Without space on the sides, it’s hard to install the refrigerator, and most manufacturers also require ventilation space. Check the requirements in the model’s installation instructions, or send us the niche dimensions and we’ll check for you.
Where do the measurements in the table come from?
From the manufacturer’s or importer’s specification sheet, as it appears in the product listing in the store’s catalog. Models for which exact dimensions have not been published do not appear in the table. Built-in refrigerators are listed in a separate guide.
