Sub Zero Refrigerators - Are They Worth the Money?

I'm often asked by my customers if Sub Zero refrigerators are worth the money. My reply is always the same - maybe. Let me explain...

If you are talking about longevity, overall quality, and food preservation, my reply is always absolutely! And if the price tag fits in your budget, it is a no-brainer to me. I owned one a few years ago and can tell you my strawberries lasted up to two weeks (which was startling inspecting my furnish agency background!); cheese left on a plate (as an experiment) didn't mold or crust over after a month; and an opened holder of ice cream was still fresh after discovering it more than a month and a half later.

Sub Zero claims a family can save as much as a week in food spoilage because of the dual refrigeration system. I always thought that was an exaggerated claim until I owned one and estimated I was rescue approximately a week as a bachelor. If you are a Costco shopper and like to buy things like the multi pack of Romaine lettuce and find you can't make it past two head before they spoil, the more humid compartment Sub Zero provides will give you more time to halt the holder of lettuce.

A major advantage of having a dual refrigeration law as Sub Zero has is longevity. The median life of a refrigerator today is approximately 10.5 years. Sub Zero's median lifecycle is 17 years. (Climate has a contributing factor. In the Pacific Northwest where it is cooler than in the southern U.S., refrigerators don't have to work as hard because of a lower median temperature. It is not uncommon to find Sub Zero refrigerators persisting beyond 20 years here.) The speculate for a longer lifespan is largely due to having two compressors. One cools the refrigerator while the other cools the freezer. Most other refrigerators have a single compressor that is working most all the time. It doesn't take much imagination to see the dual law lasts longer.

Overall ability is exquisite because these refrigerators are still built largely by hand and in the Usa. They are a family owned business and take great pride in their product.

So I hear you saying, "Why does buyer Reports show a higher rate of repair?" buyer Reports show assistance history for products under warranty. This is a bit of a disadvantage for fellowships with a kind warranty such as Sub Zero. Most fellowships offer a 1 year parts and labor warranty with up to 5 years on parts. Sub Zero offers the industries strongest warranty - 2 full years parts and labor and up to 12 years on the sealed system! The other thing C.R. Doesn't tell you is that a lot of the assistance calls have to do with improper factory (water / icemaker not working because the installer didn't turn the water valve on, etc.) or even for something as uncomplicated as a broken icemaker. Icemakers are the Achilles Heal of the appliance world. For as good as Sub Zero is, they use icemakers made by Whirlpool. There aren't many icemaker manufacturers to pick from in the industry.

If you have a large family and you are at the grocery store any times a week, don't plan on being in your home for more than 7 years, or if you are like a costume of mine who while writing his check out for his Sub Zero proclaimed, "00.00 just to keep my beer cold", you may do just as well with something under 00 - depending on your kitchen design. However, if it fits the budget, I will very advise buying a Sub Zero.
