It is too wide to fit in the space I have.

Chest refrigerators do take up more space in a home. However, that can also be an advantage. The lid can be fitted with laminate to transform into a work surface. For customers living off grid or in a small residence, many areas have dual function.  A larger and more accessible cabinet over the chest refrigerator is now possible, instead of the small wasted cabinet over most upright refrigerators.
