Let me see a sub zero with pro handle

14 years ago

I want to see a SZ fridge with the pro handle, I've seen so many of the tubular handles. I haven't seen a pro handle on anything but the pro 48. If you've got a bi-36 bi-42 or anything other than the pro 48 let me see what you've got!

Thank you, this is VERY helpful and so far proving my point. Any more? (And, I'd also love to know the length of the appliance handles. The largest I can find is 18" and most seem to be 12")

Sub-Zero PRO 48
Q

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.

"In regards to the screenshot you put to kalapointers post, she states she's been dealing with repairs for 7 years, but the M Series ovens were only released 4 years years ago. So not sure whats up " Kalapointer's post answers M111675's question, "Do you think it's still a problem on the Wolf M Professional convection oven? I understand it may be easier to fix, but does the problem still occur? " In Kalapointer's oven saga, it was at some point replaced with an M which they report here has chipped. "Well, I have waited since February 8th to have my M Pro double oven repaired. The enamel on the bottom of the oven was chipping and crazing." " Should an oven be able to handle self-cleaning mode, yes. But I can tell you from my experience many people have problems with their units after they've run self-cleaning mode (and this is across the board for modern brands), likely due to all the new microchips and electronics we use in modern ovens these days." Whether it is electronics or the blue enamel, if it doesn't work, don't promote it as a benefit and take it off until you get something that does work. "Coincidentally enough, I've never had a customer that experienced this chipping issue on Wolf ovens and I do sell quite a few. So I've not seen how it might arise yet the the real world. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened to these customers." No one knows how many have this problem except Wolf. From this forum, we know it has been ongoing for 10 years and some posters have had as many as 3 go bad not to mention one of the lawsuits mentioned a multiplicity of failures for one family. They were also talked into spending more money with Wolf to upgrade with the idea it would not occur and it still chipped. That has happened on this forum too. I feel if Wolf was sincere and it was truly a rare occurrence, they would upgrade the appliance at no additional cost for the inconvenience it causes and in at least one case someone cut their hand on the shards. It is also not just a cosmetic issue as they try to say. Rita" Seriously, who cares what color the interior of an oven is? " This^^^^^^^

I actually like having a fridge that doesn't impose a particular type of organization on me. We have a commercial refrigerator in the garage. It's essentially just a big rectangular stainless steel box with adjustable shelves. So, in many ways it is very similar to the Pro 48. We love it. We bought a bunch of plastic crates/boxes to add organization, as appropriate for our use cases. Takes getting used to; but once you do, it's hard going back. The one thing we noticed though was that we had to buy one extra shelve, as commercial fridges are optimized for bulkier items. Sounds as if that wouldn't be a problem with the Pro 48. If money isn't a problem, and if there is sufficient space in the kitchen, then I can see the Pro 48 being a great refrigeration option. If space is more critical, then split into two separate towers, or into a tower and some drawers.

Thanks, we are enjoying our kitchen very much! Anyway, it was late last night, so I just posted quickly; here's a bit more ... I was a little freaked out at first by the appearance, since all you really see are tubular handles, and they really are good looking. It's probably a better look, overall, to tell the truth. But I loved the solid feel of the pro handle (we all have fairly large hands in my house, don't know if that's a factor or not).

Also, it was going right next to the range, which has the exact same handle, and the DWs also were going to have pro handles. That doesn't really matter so much, except I did like the consistency of having the range and fridge handles alike. Maybe most important (even though I didn't know this at the time I selected the handle style), I used a bunch of different hardware on my cabinets, so I'm glad to have remained more consistent on the appliances.

I hear people worry about handle matching a lot, I hope it won't look too odd, I mean it is just a straight tube as well isn't it? Primarily I wanted the pro on the side by side I ordered because my brother and his wife just had a baby, lord knows they come around the house all the time and I didn't want the kid to be able to open and close the doors on the fridge. I guess I'm a worry wart but if there was something hanging in the fridge and she opens it and it hits her on the head I'd feel bad. It'll be 2 years before she is tall enough to reach these.

I don't know about the sxs, but the seal on these doors is substantial, as is the weight of the door. I can barely open it half the time (ok, not really), so I wouldn't worry about a toddler. I guess a sxs is probably easier since the door isn't so big, but it still takes some strength.

Really, by the time she can open the fridge door, she should either know not to, or be able to protect herself, lol. And then that stage will be over in two blinks of an eye, whereas your refrigerator will be with you for many years (hopefully!). I really wouldn't let that dictate my choice, you know? :-)

Ha ha, point taken, but I think I made the right choice with the pro handle. As you say "solid feel" and that is what my dealer told me as well. I just wanted to see because I need to confirm my order by tomorrow for everything to be ready for delivery. I think I can live with it, even if it's not a perfect match to the other appliances. I don't think I've ever seen a bi-36SXS in any of the finished kitchens around here. I saw one in the showroom but never one in a kitchen. I assume the 1700 dollar upcharge from the regular bi-36 is the reason not too many people have them.
