Is this the separate fridge/freezer with the trim kit? We put the Frigidaire version in our camp and wish I would have done it in our home.

Will the dealers work down the pricing or is it pretty much locked by the dealer with little wiggle room?
your builder should be able to get your his reduced price...I have a builder friend that almost exclusively installs wolf and subzero and he passes his discount onto the customers.

Have your builder get pricing for you from Appliance Distributors of La.

Isn't there a poster on here who specializes in appliances?
yes, Napoleon, and if I recall correctly, he has raved about quality of SZ.

If I ever redo my kitchen, I will look at SZ, but definitely won't spend crazy if decide to put panels over the doors.

Doing a kitchen remodel soon. Thinking wolf vs Viking just for resale value. Any appreciable difference between the two, in regards to reliability (I'm sure performance is on par with my gas GE, but if you have one of the high end ranges/ovens, it seems to emotionally affect buyers).

I'm going with the kitchen aide line of products. They have some quality stuff. I'm sure you can find better if you increase your budget but the products I'm looking for will cook just fine for my family.

I'd get a Blue Star in a custom color, that doesn't match anything else, then hide the fridge in cabinet paneling.

My wife's getting a new car soon and we went to test drive a demo model last weekend...I was staring at the rear badges and she gave me a terrible look. As bad as I think they look I am not touching them.

Sub zero is for women who think they have a kitchen that should be in a magazine




I have never owned a sub zero so I have zero firsthand knowledge.

But I do have firsthand knowledge of Thermador and Dacor stoves and to say they "High end appliances are for appearances only and function no higher end than a decent whirlpool" is quite comical.

I've spent tons of time at Decor, and their performance testing for their stoves was insane. 6 or so racks of sugar cookies and they measured the color of each cookie...plotted and judged each set of elements and/or on/off timing profile. What they lack in theory they make up for in implementation.

If they live in central, there is a 20% discount until end of year due to flood. Not sure if there is builder pricing. Never had SZ, but Wolf gas range is the tits.

i don't know how this company makes money.



Let me help you. Below is a link to one of their 4 appliance packages. Their price is $3,304.00 and that is after a $150.00 mail in rebate.

The same exact items can be purchased from Homedepot for $2,879.00 with free delivery and installation. That is $425 cheaper at HD and you can bet that HD is making profit.

Usually don't have any price breaks for the average Joe.

I used to work for a large national home builder and we got a deal and could pass on a bit of savings to the customer.

However, sometimes they run deals where you get a package and the package is cheaper than what you would buy the pieces for individually.

Electrolux is far superior to those brands.


I have a 42" Electrolux Icon. It's about 7 years old and I would NOT recommend it. The eveporator is leaking and it's about $1800 to replace.

With Sub Zero and Wolfe, you're also buying the best warranty in the business.

Youre looking at these elite brands and shopping for discounts?

Just go get the Kenmore Elite series that you can actually afford.
