Sub-Zero All Fridge + Freezer Drawers
Comments (18)Cool Drawer is a an albatross. On paper all the flexibility looks great, but how often are you going to empty everything to change from cheese, butter and lettuce storage to ice cream and frozen pizzas ??? It doesn't have an ice maker if you choose to use it as a freezer. The biggest drawback is it's width. At 33 11/16 " or 855 mm wide it is too wide to make for efficient access and that is also a non standard cabinet width. Makes planning difficult too. So, you are looking at a MANDATORY custom built cabinet and more $$$. Some factory brands simply won't produce a panel that wide for an integrated look. At approx $2500 ea. It's not cheap either....See MoreWet bar refrigerator / freezer / ice maker (True, SubZero, Hoshizaki)
Comments (10)Hi L G, We ended up with all True for the bar appliances. In the living room bar, we ended up doing the True ice Maker and a True beverage center. We opted to put the ice maker here, as opposed to basement bar, since we figured we would use it much more often in the main living area as opposed to basement which is more used for movie watching and parties. So far that has turned out to be a good choice, since with two small children, we aren't hosting as many parties (yet). For the basement bar, we went with a True refrigerator, a True dual zone wine refrigerator, a True freezer, and a Miele dishwasher (Lumen, I think - I can get the exact model if you want). To be honest, so far this bar hasn't gotten a lot of use but we are still settling into the house, and I think it will be great once we are a little bit more up and running. It's been nice having the extra fridges for the beverage and wine storage. Overall we are happy with the selections. The quality and aesthetics are great. As someone recently posted on one of the threads, the True ice maker isn't "whisper quiet". You can hear it filling up water, clearing out drain, and dumping ice into the chamber periodically throughout the day. I honestly don't really notice it, and without basis of comparison, I imagine it's similar if not better than other ice makers due to the nature of the operation, but if appliance noise is a concern, I would definitely try to check out one and see if you are comfortable with the noise level before committing to one. But we've been very happy having it, and having it near the living space means it gets used a lot, and it's super nice making a cocktail and having a fresh supply of clear ice right by everything. Hope that helps, if there's more information that would be useful please let me know. -joe...See MoreSub Zero Panel Ready Refrigerator ("over/under"freezer drawer model)
Comments (9)I am one of those strange people who actually prefers a flush install of a built-in appliance over a fully integrated installation. I always feel that a fridge is too big to look nice as a "fake cabinet". It just doesn't feel organic when I see this giant panel that pretends to be a cabinet. On the other hand, with a flush install, the fridge is still kept out of sight for the most part, but you get just enough visual cues to realize that this isn't a comically oversized cabinet. I like that. I want to know where the fridge is hiding. Your mileage might very well vary though. Everybody has a different design preference....See MoreSub Zero freezer drawers or Jenn Air Fridge/Freezer? Advice anyone?
Comments (2)We had to decide between SubZero and Perlick drawers. In the end, we picked Perlick. There were a little bit of growing pains. The initial factory settings resulted in frozen coils every few weeks. I guess, it depends a little bit on your climate. The service technician tweaked the settings and the drawers have now been working fine for over a year. So, I guess the problem is fixed. We like that they are more spacious than then SubZero drawers. And we like that there is no ice maker, which we didn't want (takes up way too much space in drawers). But we don't like that Perlick is a little noisier than SubZero. So, I think in hindsight, it's a bit of a wash. We probably would have been fine with SubZero as well. We do have a SubZero all-fridge column that goes with two sets of freezer drawers. That combination is amazing. So much nicer than traditional freezers....See Morebeekeeperswife
