We are looking for a 30" built-in fridge for our kitchenette, and seem to have narrowed it down to: Sub-Zero BI-30U Miele KF 1811 SF Liebherr C 1651 Unfortunately, I can not find the prices online for neither Miele nor Sub-Zero, but Liebherr is quoted at about $4800. I'm sure, the others will be more... Sub-Zero, actually, has one feature going for it (besides being American-made)  the compressors are on the top. This means, that while being the same height, more of the usable interior is reachable to a short person. My significant other is 5' tall, so this is a concern... But if it is as hard to open as comments suggest ("shoulder dislocation" is already mentioned here), then she may prefer Liebherr anyway, and just surrender the top shelf to me... Miele is an enigma, though  any feedback on that? Thanks! Yours, doofus

I wanted a 30" counter depth unit, so the choice was pretty much Leibherr or Sub Zero. Looked at both - two things really stood out to me on features: 1. The freezer: the Leibherr has a swing door, then removable drawers. Access is easy: you can stand in front of the thing and pull out what you want, or you can simply pull the whole drawer out and put it on the table. The SubZero is one huge freezer drawer, with another inside it. You can't see what's in there half as well as in the Leibherr set up, plus you have to bend over the drawer front to get at anything. 2. The Leibherr handles have a little 'push' mechanism to release the very tight seal. Whenever I have used SZs, I hated the very hard tug you have to use to get the doors open - makes my arm ache, frankly. Plus, two independent appliances stores I talked to said they'd had no maintenance issues with Leibherr, but scores with SZ. Those things, plus price, made it a total no-brainer decision. Two years later, still loving my Leibherr.

If you want your beer ice cold, may we recommend our Glass Door Refrigerators and Beverage Centers. Both utilize our convection cooling system, rapidly cooling items down to 34 F.
