Is the Thermador T36FT820NS really counter depth?

Yes. It is 27 13/16 inches deep, which is designed to sit close to flush with standard 24-inch-deep counters once the doors and handles are accounted for. Measure your opening and clearance behind the unit before ordering.

Does it have an ice maker and water dispenser?

It has a factory ice maker and an internal water dispenser inside the fresh food section. There is no dispenser on the outside of the door, so the front stays clean.

How much food does it hold?

Total capacity is 20.8 cu. ft., with 14.8 cu. ft. in the refrigerator and 6.1 cu. ft. in the bottom freezer. That is typical for a counter-depth 36-inch French door model.

Is it energy efficient?

It is Energy Star certified, with estimated annual electricity use of about 570 kWh. Actual use depends on door openings, room temperature and settings.

What handles come with it?

Thermador lists both a professional handle design and a Masterpiece handle design. Confirm which handle set is included with the specific listing before you buy.

When is the best time to buy it?

Appliance promotions around major holidays and fall model changeovers are the usual windows for discounts. With only one new listing at $5,299 as of November 6, 2026, watch for a second seller or a bundle offer.
