Monogram or Thermador Refrigerator

8 years ago

does anyone have experience with Monogram (GE offshoot) appliances? Our fridge broke down in the middle of remodeling our kitchen so looking for a new one.
Thermador is our other option but Monogram is cheaper - can't seem to find many reviews of their products online. Any insight (on Thermador or Monogram refrigerators) would be great. Thanks!

We just completed a kitchen remodel with a Thermador package. We went with the integrated french door fridge. I cannot say enough good things about it! It is so solidly made, the hinge system is amazing (for a completely flush look), it is very quiet, and it keeps food very fresh for a long period of time. I am also a big fan of filtered ice. Any way, I hope my 2 cents helps!!

Threarmador french door and columns (separate units) are excellent units made at the same factory as Gaggneau/miele units. Threader s/s units are made by whirlpool and are probably pretty equivalent to monogram..both of these do not have dual refrigeration systems.

I had my mid-range Bosch dishwasher for 10 years and it worked flawlessly. I'm also currently remodeling and chose the high end with the water softener feature. I loved not rinsing and having sparkling dishes come out. I currently inherited a Kenmore elite which was also sold as a Kitchenaid and a Whirlpool Gold. It was supposed to be an upper end dishwasher, but I have the receipt and for the same money, the midrange Bosch blows it out of the water. Miele is also an excellent dishwasher, but is significantly more expensive.

Thanks Michelle. My designer would like me to choose the appliances so he can proceed with the final specs on the cabinets. I heard the new Thermador ranges will be out in Jan 2019 from a salesman so that is a bit too far out. I wish there were some floor models available in the refrigeration as I do like what I have read about them thus far but again price is a bit more than I had budgeted out for the project. This is why I went with the counter-depth option for refrigeration given I can save a few thousand here and still have a decent range.

48 inch dual fuel range advice: monogram vs wolf vs thermador?
Q
Comments (12)
We purchased a Thermador 48” Dual Fuel range with 6 burners and an induction unit and double oven. Model PRD486WIGU. originally wanted a Wolf, but was told it was going to be about 9 to 12 months. Contractor suggested Airport Appliance who said they could get Thermador in 4 months which at the time would accomodate our remodel schedule. Turned out Thermador took 9 to 12 months, depending on the appliance, to deliver all appliances. Rude Thermador Customer service, hours wait to talk to someone, required 100% payment upon order. had our $25,000 whole time. Airport Appliance not much better. Lied about delivery times and deposit amount. Have had 3 service calls on range in first 6 months with burner issues. In my previous home we had a 48” Thermador cook top which we were pleased with which also influenced our decision to go with Thermador again, but never again! I dont recommend Airport Appliance either. Good luck however you decide.

Thermador or GE Monogram for Range/Fridge

MONOGRAM cook, hands down. , Sub zero Fridge columns. Monogram excels in the cooking venue. I resist packages and package deals, because everyone is very good at something......and less good at something else. Bosch excels in the cleaning category. Monogram ? A veritable cooking machine!!. I have NO client unhappy with that selection. Function, reliability , features, are nearly unmatched. You buy for function, features, and the specific needs in your cooking style and your budget. A single brand "package" .......a "free dishwasher on a GE package for instance.? uhhhhh give me the Bosch please.

I'm not really sure what model the OP is looking at but I have a Thermador 30" bottom freezer single door refrigerator (neither french door nor column) and it has dual compressor and dual evaporator.

I'd look at something other than Monogram for a regular built-in model. Their fit and finish isn't up to par with the competition , yet their prices are.

The Monogram line of Fully Integrated fridges and wine units that are made in Europe are very nice though, as well as being a bit of a bargain for a high $$$ fridge.

We love everything about our fridge with one exception - in the 30" model, there are no deep produce draws (both drawers are full width and shallow). That's not an issue with the 36". We love the heft, the hinges, the lights (love the LED lights!). It's very quiet too.

Malba2366, if I am looking at a Therm Integrated bottom freezer with a single door on top, where is that built?

The Thermador does have a dual compressor. We made certain before we bought it. It really keeps food fresh for a long period of time, also.

sf - the key word here is INTEGRATED or Freedom Collection. This does not apply to the T'dor "built-in" made by whirlpool which also has a single door , bottom freezer - known as an over/under.

Actually I'm pretty sure all the Thermador bottom mounts are made in house. Whirlpool did make side by side built-ins for them, but those are now gone.
