Our Review
The Dacor DRS425300 24 cu. ft. Built-In is a 24.3 cu. ft. built-in refrigerator from Dacor, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 17.0 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 7.3 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for families of 4-5.
What stands out
Build quality is the headline. Dacor models use metal drawer rails, soft-close hinges, and consistent interior LED lighting that you don't get in the mainstream tier. Door seals are noticeably more substantial — a small detail that translates to better long-term temperature stability.
Wi-Fi connectivity is built in — you can check fridge and freezer temperatures, receive door-left-open alerts, and (on supported models) push diagnostic codes to a service technician without a callout. Setup friction is normal; once connected, expect stable day-to-day operation from Dacor's app.
Layout and capacity
Exterior dimensions are 42.0" W × 83.5" H × 24.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 24.3 cu. ft., split 17.0 fresh / 7.3 freezer.
Bottom line
For shoppers who plan to own a fridge for 15+ years and value build quality and design over headline features, the Dacor DRS425300 24 cu. ft. Built-In earns the premium it asks for.
