Our Review

The Thermador T48IT100NP 27 cu. ft. Built-In is a 26.8 cu. ft. built-in refrigerator from Thermador, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 18.8 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 8.0 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for large families.

What stands out

Build quality is the headline. Thermador 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.

Layout and capacity

Exterior dimensions are 48.0" W × 84.0" H × 24.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 26.8 cu. ft., split 18.8 fresh / 8.0 freezer.

Bottom line

For shoppers who plan to own a fridge for 15+ years and value build quality and design over headline features, the Thermador T48IT100NP 27 cu. ft. Built-In earns the premium it asks for.
