Need some help picking a fridge/freezer
Comments (8)There is no such thing as a lemon free appliance brand. When a Sub Zero owner gets a lemon they complain quite loudly and they have every right to be angry. But That is why Sub Zero has a 12 year warranty. Sub Zero is one of the very best. The only real issue is if you get one with an in-door ice dispenser. It is a complicated design that traverses the freezer and refrigerator. other than that they are first rate. Most women don't want a custom paneled fridge that hides the appliance only to destroy the illusion by having an in-door ice dispenser. There are other options apart from Sub-Zero but they are just as expensive or lower quality for the appliance units you are looking at....See MoreFridge and range questions
Comments (3)Our budget for everything but the fridge is 10-12k, and if we can get a great fridge for 3-4k instead of 10-12k, fantastic. To be more clear, here is what I am thinking: 36 inch 6 burner gas or duel fuel range Separate wall oven Either sharp drawer microwave or micro with wall oven Hood insert Dishwasher Fridge- hoping for 28-29 cu ft in one counter depth or built in fridge, or a smaller one that is highly functional. Not opposed to a separate fridge drawer, but thinking that would add cost and take up space Had not really thought about warming drawers, steam ovens, or speed ovens- thinking ill do just fine without and we are limited on space- it is an open floor plan and I don't want to be looking at tons of appliances all the time!...See MoreSeparate fridge and separate freezer
Comments (3)I have an all fridge in the kitchen and an all freezer in the far end of the kitchen with a bunch of extra cabinets and such. I can't imagine dealing with any less space and it is only myself and my teenage son. It is the same basic Figidaire units mentioned above that are frequently combined into a "sub zero" looking double unit except mine are slightly different and not connected by the crappy trim. First I couldn't care less that someone might think they look expensive and wouldn't care about such stupidity. Second these are not made well inside and don't holdup very well. Missing lots of features, cheap plastic insides, etc. When I redo my kitchen, there seems to be a lack of quality individual units unless you spend a bunch of money. I would buy commercial but there seem to be noise issues. I would have considered GE Monogram but now that Haier, owned by the Chinese government, has bought GE appliance division, they won't get a cent from me ever....See MoreRefrigerator columns: thoughts on separating fridge and freezer
Comments (10)So this goes to function and dividing things. First, I think it sounds like a nice idea as long as its symmetrical. Asymmetry makes me crazy. I moved my fridge with top freezer to the other side of the (pocket) door into the mudroom. It's next to my full-sized freezer. So much counter space now! Within 2 months, it crapped out on me. I picked up a Frigidaire dorm type fridge and stuck it under the counter. Within a MONTH, the fridge started working again, but the full-sized freezer crapped out. Luckily, I was due a binge-cook 'n freeze, so I was low on frozen life. I crammed everything left back into the fridge freezer. Now I'm considering trying to make the bottom part of the fridge the freezer ( can they be set that low? ) and the top the fridge ( can that be set that high? ) Since I can't fit much other than beer cans (dorm fridge, remember?) I'm thinking I might try to set the whole thing down to freezing for ice cubes and small frozen soup, 'getti, or other single-serve frozen stuff I live on. Anyway, I'd dump the full-sized freezer, although it's only 5 years old. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have purchased tall and thin, vs. short and wide. Takes up SOOO too much space! So I guess yes, I'd split them. I must ask, though, in a U kitchen, if space is that tight, why are you blocking it with an island?...See MoreBuehl
