Which Sub Zero handles with the Electrolux Pro Icon Ovens
Comments (1)Tough Call. Let me tell you a secret. You can buy any handle from any brand if you're doing a panel refrigerator vs. stainless. I would look into Miele or Thermador handles. No one would ever know Check it out on the link im gonna put up & look at the aceesories of there fridges & call AJ Madison. Im not sure they sell handle if you dont buy the fridge there. Here is a link that might be useful: Built In Refrigerators Panel Ready...See MoreLiebherr 48' or SubZero 48' Built-in Fridge
Comments (19)We are looking for a 30" built-in fridge for our kitchenette, and seem to have narrowed it down to: Sub-Zero BI-30U Miele KF 1811 SF Liebherr C 1651 Unfortunately, I can not find the prices online for neither Miele nor Sub-Zero, but Liebherr is quoted at about $4800. I'm sure, the others will be more... Sub-Zero, actually, has one feature going for it (besides being American-made)  the compressors are on the top. This means, that while being the same height, more of the usable interior is reachable to a short person. My significant other is 5' tall, so this is a concern... But if it is as hard to open as comments suggest ("shoulder dislocation" is already mentioned here), then she may prefer Liebherr anyway, and just surrender the top shelf to me... Miele is an enigma, though  any feedback on that? Thanks! Yours, doofus...See MoreSub Zero Pro48 Or ...
Comments (1)The Pro48 is an awesome piece of equipment. It is unlikely though to be any significant amount more reliable than a standard BI48. So take that part out. The other item that I have had customers miss is the lack of door bins. Doesn't seem like a huge deal to me personally...but I have had customers who were either dissuaded from purchasing or had regrets after purchase. As for other options, IMHO if service is good in your area (if you are in NY I am not surprised, we are pretty blessed with people on that front) than I don't think any of the other BI 48" units really compare. Also bear in mind that JennAir, Kitchenaid, Thermador (only the 42/48" units) and Dacor all are made by kitchenaid. The other 3 out there are GE Monogram (which is ok, but not a SZ), Samsung (yikes) and Viking (just google Viking refrigerators and your head will likely explode...). So my personal advice is to get the BI48...but the Pro48 is a magnificent piece and if you go into it understanding you are not buying additional reliability, just a statement piece, then go for that....See MoreSub-Zero PRO 48
Comments (25)I came across this question as I was looking for ideas to compartmentalize the drawers of the PRO48 for better storage. We replaced our 632 and really couldn't be happier. It's been a year since we bought it and it is beautiful. Can you consider a refrigerator a piece of art? I think so. We had concerns about no longer having storage in the door too, but we have gotten used to being without. We ended up reconfiguring the shelves and stainless bins to work better. I would suggest keeping the top shelf as high as it can go in order to fit things like eggs, butter, salsa, grey poupon, wine bottles laid down. The next shelf with just enough space for other taller items/condiments, like dressings, ketchup, etc.. Then leave quite a bit of space for the remaining shelf so that you can easily fit upright wine bottles, milks, juices. Under that shelf, place the 2 stainless bins next to one another and directly under those bins, yogurts and soda cans will fit nicely. Took a bit of trial and error, but it seems to be the best layout for us. The freezer can fit a ton of things. Sometimes I am afraid something will fall behind the drawer when it's opened, but so far that hasn't happened. The only thing I am trying to figure out is some sort of storage solution for the bottom refrigerated drawer. Other than that, it's perfect....See Moredjlandkpl
