Refrigerator Built-in; Sub Zero, Jenn Air or Monogram?
Comments (8)We've had such a good experience with our Sub Zeros that we just ordered the 42" French door Sub Zero for the kitchen at our next home. Currently I have a 36" all Refrigerator and a 36" all Freezer. They are now 29 years old and going strong. We did have some of the typical problems in the early years - my ice maker worked fine, but every now and then I had ice build up in the back. Since it was out of warranty I used a hair dryer to melt the ice but that got annoying. When I called my local repair company they called Sub Zero from my house and discussed the problem. Sub Zero offered to cover the part and I paid for labor. It's now worked fine for over 20 years. The compressor only had a 5 year warranty when I bought the freezer in 1988. And of course it died in year 7 - again my local repair guy called SZ - and again they covered the parts while I paid labor. My impatient 10 year old son tried to force the freezer door open after it had just shut - anyone who knows SZ knows that when you close it, you have to wait a few seconds for the pressure to equalize before opening it again. Well he managed to break the metal handle. I called SZ and after the customer service rep laughed he asked if I had been entertaining a frat party at my home. I told him it was my 10 year old and that I had witnessed it. He immediately told me he'd send me a new handle - no charge. Well this same kid (who is now an impatient adult) managed to break off the handle on the refrigerator a year later. Again I called SZ - however by this time they had changed the style of the handle. The customer service rep not only send me a new handle for free - he also sent a new one for the freezer so that I would have matching handles. Their customer service has been fantastic. That's the reason we ordered another one from them. I know I'm going to miss my 301 R and 301 F when we move . We're empty nesters and down sizing and I don't need or even have room for those big units - but DH and I both love to cook and we often make large casseroles and freeze meals for our kids. The 42" should work fine for us....See MoreSub-Zero vs Monogram Refrigerator
Comments (16)Another vote for Sub Zero. When we sold our home a few months ago we left behind a 30 year old 501F (36" all freezer) that was still running flawlessly. Oh it did have repairs over the years but nothing monumental. The matching 36" all refrigerator needed a compressor at age 25 and we decided that it was probably time to replace it. We have a 42" French door SZ in our new home and while it has taken some time to get used to a smaller unit I do love it. SZ's customer service has been excellent. When my son managed to break the handle on the freezer I called SZ on the phone to order a replacement. The freezer was probably 10 years old by then and Sub Zero had updated the handle. They not only sent me a new style handle for free but they also sent another handle so that my refrigerator would match. We had a GE Profile side by side at our vacation home and the refrigerator failed to maintain a temperature below 40 degrees. After 5 service calls the last tech said that GE had redesigned it because they had so many problems with it. We requested a replacement under the lemon law - luckily we had purchased the extended service contract. However it took another 6 months of multiple phone calls and badgering before they got around to replacing it. For what it's worth - my brother worked for GE and the only reason he had GE appliances was because of the great discount they gave him. But he still had to deal with the same below par service....See MoreSub-Zero vs Bosch Refrigerator Freezer Columms
Comments (3)We have Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer. Only buy it if you like the look it does NOT work any better than any other refrigerator. The freezer still allows items to become icy from freeze/thaw cycles. The ice cubes melt together within a couple weeks after completely cleaning out and starting new. The magical refrigerator that is supposed to keep perfect temperature so food stays fresh longer - no, it’s just a regular refrigerator. We do have Bosch dish washer which is very quiet, we don’t even know it’s on....See MoreTrue vs Sub Zero refrigerator
Comments (25)One Bosch dishwasher delayed, but the fisher & paykel arrived. One 48" Wolf dual fuel range MIA. It was "available" a month ago so the mystery continues as a regional distributor started emptying its warehouse. Both Subzero columns arrived along w Wolf micro, speed oven & hood. Recently retired our 14 year old Bosch DW and its a fav of most of our clients so may be worth the wait. People feel the same re Wolf....See Morererod
