Our Review
The KitchenAid KBFN502ESS 24 cu. ft. Built-In is a 24.1 cu. ft. built-in refrigerator from KitchenAid, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 16.9 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 7.2 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for families of 4-5.
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 41.5" W × 83.5" H × 24.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 24.1 cu. ft., split 16.9 fresh / 7.2 freezer.
Bottom line
The KitchenAid KBFN502ESS 24 cu. ft. Built-In is a sensible upgrade over the mainstream tier — meaningful spec and finish gains without the full luxury premium.
