Definitely recommend you guys cover the Jennair built-ins as well. Their black onyx interior, and completely seamless cabinet faces definitely suits a certain aesthetic.
This is great; hadnt thought of the doors hitting the island!
Thank you for posting this very informative video - interesting points on the different models.
Looking for tips on replacing an old 72" tall Sub-Zero with a 'regular' 72" fridge so I don't have to reconfigure the cabinet opening for the current 84" built ins. Thoughts?
I purchased an apartment, with built-in subzero 700 TC on the left and 427R on the right. Both machines are quite old. If I want to replace them, what are options?
How would you rank "DACOR" columns?
What model would you recommend for someone who is building a house? Should it be custom or something that is more reliable to last? Also I see you have wall ovens. Do you have a video for that? If so, can you share your link?
Hi Allyson, you can have both when it comes to built-in! Custom and reliable. Two big brands we like to recommend are Sub Zero and True Residential. We have videos on both of them. As for wall ovens, we have a bunch on those as well (Best of and brand specific). Have you checked out our channel page? Here's one on the Wolf M-Series: czcams.com/video/IsZJjm7YykA/video.html
I want a 48 inch with a underneath refrigerator we have a GE Monaghan side by side
i purchased a dacor built in refrigerator with panels the delivery service dropped off the refrigerator will a technician install or is this an additional cost ? I purchased the built in kit no one has come to install
How do I get a replace for my damage sub zero 36 that cost over 18000 dollar
I have a 20 year old 36" wide counter depth built in GE Monogram Refrigerator. The water dispenser area has had a very slight leak on the outside for months but otherwise the refrigerator works just fine. I put a paper towel in the tray area under the dispenser and it's just moist but no flood or anything. I'm debating if I should buy a new refrigerator now because it's been 20 years or wait till it goes out. I worried that if I wait, It will take weeks or even months before I can get a new one. Can a refrigerator die all of a sudden or can you usually tell when it's about to go out by the noise, or when its no longer keeping the food as cold, etc.? So far, other than the water dispenser, everything works great. The motor is not humming loudly, nor is the top compressor area hot, etc.
I currently have a 42" GE Monogram Built-in In for $10,000 it is a piece of junk with all sorts of.problems. It has great white panels that match the cabinets. What is a good most reliable one we an get at the Cyber Mon sale??
Here are our top built-in refrigerator picks you can keep an eye out for: www.designerappliances.com/blog/best-built-in-refrigerator/
What about Fulgor Milano?
what are your thoughts on DIY paneled Fridges that are fraction of the cost in compared to standard inbuilt fridges. What are pros and cons of a DIY inbuilt fridge? Is it worth it?
We're remodeling and decided to do a Panel Ready Built-In 42" with French Doors. Most expensive is Subzero but we can also get a KitchenAid 42" for $3000 less. Do you think Subzero is worth the $3,000 difference since we are going to be in this house for a long time?
If you can splurge on the Sub Zero, go for it. They have many benefits with food preservation, warranties/service, and longevity.
Can you list the new subzero products
Good question! Sub Zero is redesigning their whole classic series line of built-in refrigerators to be released later this year. They're also releasing a designer series of undercounter refrigeration (food, wine, beverage) as well. They're also coming out with a 42" French door refrigerator model.
Please share your thoughts on the GE Monogram 48" built in stainless steel fridge
Our Monogram is only 3 years old and already has defrost issues. Monogram uses GE parts from other refrigerators so you are overpaying. One of my worst house decisions was to buy a Monogram refrigerator
how to turn on the ice maker and turn it off I have sub zero pro 36 need answers
want to see ranges
I had a built-in KITCHENAID, custom facia, lovely to look at, but when you have a water leak it is a b***h to pull out the unit for repairs. Mine was installed in 2004, and was junked by the summer of 2021. I recommend non-built-in,
You make a good point in that you won't be able to slide these fridges out yourself when it comes to repairs or leaks. Initial installation is important in avoiding these types of issues down the road. Impressed by the longevity of your KitchenAid built-in, 15 years is pretty good!

I highly recommend that built-in refrigerators be equipped with a durable metal waterline as opposed to the plastic water supply tube that comes with the unit.
17 years out of a fridge sounds like a great return on your investment to me. Many fridges today are built to die 7-10 years after purchase
My kenmore double door is 20 years old and still working.
Kenmore fridge/appliances is the best
I bought the house in 2013-sadly the previous owner failed to install a metal-type water line-the plastic deteriorated over time and the water leak was very expensive to repair due to oak wood floors.
We purchased a home with the sub zero it lasted for over 20 years for us but now it's a money pit I'm not spending $16,000 for a replacement with another sub zero if I have to get a refrigerator for every 5 years that's still cheaper than a new built in.
I’m in the same position. Purchased a home w a GE monogram and it’s broken. Replacing it with a new one is too expensive
We bought a refrigerator KitchenAid it was the worst thing we ever bought. We've had nothing but problems. Repairman out 4 times the first year. Contacted the company about 🍋. We didn't have the exact same diagnoses 4 times. So they said it wasn't a lemon. We have had it 7 years and have had a service man out 12 times. We' ve thrown out$thousands because it freezes and won't cool. We've also defrosted it ourselves about 15 times. I would warn you to never buy one. Hate it hate the company hate the service people.
My feedback is same with a different brand, Liehberr. Complete junk and stay away… Defrosting myself did not work and repairs did not work. One day it’s fridge next day it’s freezer not working. I could not even find the same model to replace since it was discontinued or exact same sized fridge to fit in, so i had to buy a reg fridge and now i have a mini reg fridge installed inside the cabinet, without the fancy built in doors. It’s not the prettiest but at least it works! 🥲
Everyone having defrost issues Mine with a kenmore french door refrigerator
Which built in we should not buy?
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Lady they’re not an investment you can’t sell them for more than you paid yo 2:28
No fridge! Take the food from the neighbours free.
Need to remember this life hack... haha!
Bbig fridge with barely any true cu ft space. Bbig waste of money. Big time expense to maintain when warranty is out and the all need constant maintenance over the years. Just buy a nice $2000-$3000 fridge and you will have more choices at a cheaper cost up front and over the years. Im a dealer and smh every time people insist on the built in optiion. Happy to take your money but u will hear my opinion before u waste it.
It’s not worth it because it’s a dumb fad.
