That is the previous generation made by Scotsman for SZ. The new model is made at an entirely different operation and has storage for the scoop in the door, interior lighting, a built in water filter, and it is much easier to conceal / integrate with surrounding cabinets. That was a fine unit but it would have to be well under a grand for me to even consider it used.

BK - you are just flat out wrong wrong here. SZ makes their own fridges in their own factories, and about the only thing that is of Whirlpool design is the $50 ice maker unit that 60+% of the industry uses ! They fabricate their own steel and plastic cases, source their own, copper and glass, spray their own insulation , designed their own ethelyene filter, and on and on. Whirlpool wasn't even in the fridge business until a decade after SZ was producing theirs , and the only reason Whirlpool got in it was because of a merger. and, we all know about mergers. SZ has and these units in real homes for twelve plus months already , so they kinda know what is flawed with them. These also aren't just some half baked platform off the drawing board like your Maytag example. Further , Maytag ceases to exist because they were boneheads. Their Neptune debacle blew a hole in the ship, and the Amana acquisition enlarged it. And guess who picked up the pieces folks? Yep, BK's white knight and general do gooder, Whirlpool. Happy, I know it's a tough decision for you right now with this model change especially since they are different sizes. I would go for he new design, simply because that 7xx platform is almost twenty years old now and the 36" one is not the best size anyway. Have you considered one of the 36" ers from one of the Miele, Gaggenau, Thermador cousins? They are all top quality and roughly the same price as that 736. Available now and first of the year no changes, proven platform with nice features, and they integrate very smoothly.

i've prepaid (to secure the old cost before the rate hike next month) for my BI-30U, to be delivered in early-january when demo begins. i also wanted the 650 because i didn't want the icemaker in the fridge, which is how all BI's come now. but the local store said they couldn't guarantee locating one...which should mean the BI's are available now, i would think.

If I were you, and since your Sub Zero is under warranty, I'd call Sub Zero Customer Service and have your unit checked out. I've had Sub Zeros in humid (New York and Honolulu) and non-humid (San Francisco and Seattle) locations. I've never had condensation form on the exterior of the doors or cabinets. I'd think there's something defective with the insulation, or possibly a case heater isn't working properly. You shouldn't have any condensation on the refrigerator or freezer exterior.
