When a standard 18 cubic foot refrigerator was going for $400.00 at the big box stores.

Let's just cut to the chase. This was the last Sub Zero product that the family ever purchased. And that family had 3 more new homes constructed on the big lake. None of those new homes had any Sub Zero brand.

If one needs a Sub Zero for bragging rights. And the extra money. Go for it.

Subzero and Wolf make great products. We went overboard and used them in our island cottage reno and couldn’t be happier. Shopping for the same ones now for our primary home. Yea it’s expensive but we like it. It’s not the name, it’s the look, the functionality and reliability. Everyone’s favorite piece is the subzero under counter ice machine. Everyone in the cove comes over for ice.
