The Kenmore 29-cubic-foot side-by-side refrigerator is the closest match for shoppers seeking a full-size model around 28 cubic feet. The listed alternatives offer less capacity or a different layout: the Iceblue models suit narrower kitchens, while the Antarctic Star provides a French-door design with a side freezer. Compare capacity, dimensions, and configuration before choosing, since the products supplied do not include an exact 28-cubic-foot model.
| Product | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore Side-by-Side | 29 cu. ft. | Large households wanting near-28-cu.-ft. storage |
| Iceblue Black Stainless Steel | 15.6 cu. ft. | Buyers needing a narrower side-by-side |
| Iceblue Black | 15.6 cu. ft. | Compact kitchens and separated freezer storage |
| Antarctic Star French Door | 20 cu. ft. | Buyers open to a French-door layout |
| DeepTide Commercial Refrigerator | 23 cu. ft. | Commercial food and drink storage |
Kenmore 29-Cubic-Foot Side-by-Side Refrigerator
Best for: Families and larger households that want a full-size side-by-side close to the requested 28-cubic-foot capacity. At 29 cubic feet and 36 inches wide, this is the closest capacity match in the supplied list.
Kenmore lists Accela Chill and Accela Freeze functions to boost fan-forced cold air when groceries are added. Its Multi-Flow Air System circulates air across shelves. An ice maker located in the freezer door preserves shelf space, and the external dispenser provides filtered water and ice. The listed ice output is up to 3 pounds per day.
Consideration: This model is 29 cubic feet, not exactly 28, and its 36-inch width requires adequate kitchen clearance.
Iceblue 15.6-Cubic-Foot Black Stainless Model
Best for: Buyers who want a side-by-side layout but have less room or do not need close to 28 cubic feet. Its listed dimensions are 32.9 inches wide, 24.5 inches deep, and 70.1 inches high.
The refrigerator section holds 9.54 cubic feet, while the freezer holds 6.08 cubic feet. The black stainless-steel design has a flat surface and easy-to-open handles. Separate fresh-food and frozen-food compartments make it easier to organize those categories independently.
Consideration: Its 15.6-cubic-foot total capacity is substantially below the target size, so it may not suit households buying groceries in large quantities.
Iceblue 15.6-Cubic-Foot Black Refrigerator
Best for: Shoppers considering a compact side-by-side option with a black finish. The listed capacity, dimensions, and compartment sizes match the other Iceblue model: 15.6 cubic feet overall, with 9.54 cubic feet for refrigeration and 6.08 cubic feet for freezing.
Its 32.9-inch width is narrower than the Kenmore’s listed 36-inch width, which may be useful when planning a tighter installation space. The flat-front styling and separate refrigerator and freezer sections are also stated product features.
Consideration: The product details closely duplicate the other Iceblue listing, so compare the specific listing and confirm its dimensions before purchase. Neither Iceblue option provides 28 cubic feet of storage.
Antarctic Star 20-Cubic-Foot French-Door Refrigerator
Best for: Buyers who want a freezer on the side but are open to a French-door refrigerator rather than a conventional side-by-side model. It has 20 cubic feet of capacity, with the freezer area on the left and refrigerator area on the right.
Listed features include multi-airflow cooling, automatic defrosting, and a door alarm that sounds if a door stays open longer than one minute. The product title also identifies a water dispenser and nugget and cube ice functions.
Consideration: This is a French-door model, not a standard side-by-side configuration, and its capacity is 8 cubic feet below the 28-cubic-foot target.
DeepTide 23-Cubic-Foot Commercial Refrigerator
Best for: Commercial kitchens, cafes, and other buyers who need a large refrigerator for chilled food and drinks and do not require a freezer. This single-door model offers 23 cubic feet of storage, adjustable shelving, digital temperature control, and automatic defrosting.
The listed temperature range is 33°F to 40°F. Three adjustable wire shelves are described as supporting up to 155 pounds each. Four casters, two of them lockable, allow the unit to be moved, and an LED light illuminates the interior.
Consideration: It is a commercial single-door refrigerator, not a household side-by-side refrigerator, and the listed features do not identify a freezer compartment.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a Refrigerator Around 28 Cubic Feet
How close should capacity be to 28 cubic feet?
Capacity is the clearest first filter. Of these options, the Kenmore’s 29 cubic feet is closest to the requested size. The other listed capacities range from 15.6 to 23 cubic feet, so they are alternatives rather than direct size matches. Consider how much fresh and frozen food your household stores before choosing a smaller model.
Which layout fits your kitchen and habits?
A traditional side-by-side design places the refrigerator and freezer compartments next to each other. French-door models use a different door arrangement, while the DeepTide is a single-door commercial refrigerator. Check the kitchen’s available width, depth, and height, and allow for door movement and installation clearance using the manufacturer’s measurements.
Do you need an ice maker or water dispenser?
The Kenmore lists an external filtered water and ice dispenser and an ice maker inside the freezer door. The Antarctic Star product title lists a water dispenser and two ice types. The supplied Iceblue details do not list those features. Confirm the exact configuration in the product listing if dispensing is essential.
Is a commercial refrigerator a suitable substitute?
Usually, not when the main requirement is a household side-by-side refrigerator with a freezer. The DeepTide offers substantial chilled storage and commercial-oriented features, but it is single-door and no freezer is identified in the provided details. Choose it only if its intended refrigeration function suits your use.
