Loventhelook of integrated column freezer and refrigeration. Looking for a 30" fridge and 18" freezer, deciding between thermador and sub-zero. I've heard that the thermador is as good if not better than the subzero columns. Any feedback? The pricing is certaining better, about 3k less, but the interior design in the thermador isn't great. The shelves look like the same shelves I see in $700 refrigerators, and the subs seem like their layout hold a heck of a lot more. Am I wrong? Subzero 48" built in is the cheapest of all, but the look of the columns really can't be beat.

Mechanically the Miele and the Thermador are the same machine and come off the same assembly line. Electronic interfaces, interiors and how the custom panels are hung are the only things different between the 2. The Sub is good but I don't like how their hinges work. The door moves inward and blocks part of the interior. All 3 units are very quiet and well made.

Fridge over Freezer: Space is an issue and I loved our Fridge over Freezer for our old house. Need help choosing between these two (or others you LOVE).

I don't know anything about repair bills but we've been very, very happy with our Thermador columns. We installed them 11 years ago in the home we just moved from and we've had them at the beach for 4 years. Both are the older models. I will say I prefer the SZ 18" freezer layout to the Thermador. I love the Thermador 30" fridge column.
