Our Review
The KitchenAid KRMF436SBE 29 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer is a 28.9 cu. ft. bottom-freezer refrigerator from KitchenAid, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 20.5 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 8.4 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for large families.
What stands out
KitchenAid's mid-premium tier strikes a real middle ground here — you get premium-looking finishes and meaningful spec upgrades (better lighting, deeper drawers, often a four-door layout) without crossing into true luxury pricing.
Layout and capacity
Exterior dimensions are 39.0" W × 71.0" H × 32.0" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 28.9 cu. ft., split 20.5 fresh / 8.4 freezer.
Bottom line
The KitchenAid KRMF436SBE 29 cu. ft. Bottom Freezer is a sensible upgrade over the mainstream tier — meaningful spec and finish gains without the full luxury premium.
