This counter-depth refrigerator with an ice maker makes any kitchen look custom

If you’ve ever shopped for a new fridge, you know finding the right fit can be tough. A counter-depth fridge might line up with your countertops instead of jutting into the room, giving your kitchen a sleek, built-in look. But the catch? A shallower fridge usually means less space inside. The Hisense PureFlat was designed to end that compromise. This counter-depth refrigerator with an ice maker has 27 cu. ft. of capacity, a premium flat-door design for a near-flush fit, and smart features, all for $2,199, exclusively at Lowe’s.

Why Reviewed keeps recommending Hisense

We’ve tested several Hisense refrigerators over the years, and they consistently have performed better than their prices might suggest. The Hisense HRM260N6TSE is our current top-rated refrigerator overall, and another Hisense model made our list of the best counter-depth refrigerators.

We see common strengths across multiple Hisense models. In our tests, Hisense fridges have held steady temperatures, so food stays evenly chilled instead of warming near the door or freezing at the back. They also offer plenty of easy-to-use storage, and best of all, they often cost less than comparable models from other brands. And the PureFlat Series is no different, building on the same strengths that have kept Hisense high on our list of recommendations.

A counter-depth French door refrigerator that doesn’t cut corners on space

If your current fridge has you laying bottles on their side or playing Tetris after every grocery run, the PureFlat is here to save the day. Its Counter-Depth Ultra design fits 27 cubic feet of storage all the while cleanly lining up with your counters. That’s unusually roomy storage for this category, especially since many models’ capacity tops out in the low 20s (of cubic feet).

This model has a full-width pantry drawer that lets you store produce in one easy-to-see spot, and a sliding shelf for tall items like 2-liter bottles, milk jugs, or even a birthday cake. The internal water dispenser uses an NSF-certified water filter, meaning an independent safety organization has verified that it follows through on its promise to reduce contaminants. To round it out, the ice maker can produce up to 4.4 pounds of ice a day, the glass shelves are spill-proof, and bright LED lighting makes it easy to see what you’ve stocked up on. On the outside, premium flat doors, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, and a recessed FlushMetal handle give it a high-end look without the high-end price tag.

Smart features that actually make your day easier

As a smart refrigerator, the PureFlat connects to the ConnectLife app. You can adjust your fridge temperature from anywhere using your phone, get an alert if someone leaves a door open, and build a shopping list that sends straight to Instacart. Inside, Total No Frost and Multi Airflow circulate cold air evenly throughout the fridge, so there are no warm spots and no ice buildup to scrape off when things get crowded. Fast Cool and Fast Freeze modes can chill fresh groceries or drinks quickly before guests arrive.

The PureFlat is also Energy Star certified, which means it surpasses federal efficiency standards. Its durable inverter compressor adjusts power to keep food perfectly chilled while saving energy. Hisense supports it with a two-year limited warranty and five years of coverage on the sealed system, which is the part that actually produces the cold.

The bottom line

Most counter-depth fridges make you choose between a kitchen that looks good and a fridge that can actually hold everything. The Hisense PureFlat Series doesn’t. It pairs a built-in look with real storage capacity from a brand that we trust; it’s available for $2,199 at Lowe’s, in stores and online—a price that beats many rivals.
