5 Ways Sub Zero Refrigerators Differ from Regular Refrigerators

Sub Zero Fridge

If you’re considering purchasing a new refrigerator from Masters Wholesale, you may be thinking about a Sub Zero refrigerator. Or maybe dreaming is a bit more accurate; aren’t these high-end refrigerators considered the Mercedes Benz of kitchen appliances? Perhaps a Sub Zero is at the high end of your budget, and you are weighing the pros and cons. After all, a less fancy refrigerator will do the same job….right?

Occasionally a brand comes along that performs so well and with such unparalleled quality that we can give it a wholehearted recommendation by saying it’s more than worth the price. Sub Zero is one of those brands, and here are a few reasons why. 

1.  Custom Design

A Sub Zero refrigerator is built to match your kitchen’s décor and style. You can choose from gorgeous, modern stainless steel and other finishes or have its doors fitted with the same cabinetry as your kitchen. It’s similar to marriage vows—your kitchen and Sub Zero refrigerator can become one seamless unit. We know you likely put a great deal of effort into your kitchen’s aesthetic, and with a custom Sub Zero, you can choose a refrigerator that will support that design and not detract from your kitchen vision. With its wide range of exterior options and sizes, a Sub Zero refrigerator will easily fit into your kitchen.

2.  Duel Refrigeration System

Its dual refrigeration system further illustrates the superiority of Sub Zero refrigeration. Many refrigerators use the same evaporator and compressor to cool both the fridge and the freezer. This means that the same air used to cool the freezer also cools the fridge and cycles back into the freezer. With a Sub Zero, they have separate cooling units for the fridge and freezer. This leads to three huge benefits:

  1. Temperature control is more precise. A Sub Zero refrigerator is accurate to one degree of the internal thermostat. This leads to better food preservation, which means less wasted food. 
  2. Since the fridge and freezer don’t share air, you’re less likely to have frost build up in your freezer. The dry, frozen air stays in the freezer, while the moist, cool air stays in the fridge. (Now, if only you could separate your children the same way….)
  3. Have you ever opened your freezer and wondered why it smells like your fridge? Even the freshest fridge can smell like its contents, and no one wants cheddar cheese-scented vanilla ice cream. (At least, we assume so.) With Sub Zero’s separate compressors and air space, your freezer will remain fresh and unscented.  

3.  Built-In Air Purification

But what about smells in your fridge? Creeping molds and smelly bacteria that rot food and cause odors can be circulated through your fridge’s natural airflow, making your fridge (and kitchen) stink and leading to food spoiling faster. With Sub Zero’s built-in anti-microbial air filters scrubbing the stench-causing bacteria from the air in your fridge, it prevents odor and food spoilage. (Unfortunately, again, this feature does not apply to children.) With this forgiving system, your fridge will smell fresher longer and need to be cleaned out less frequently. 

4.  Intuitive Technology

A Sub Zero fridge is built to handle the demands of a growing family. With its intuitive temperature technology, a Sub Zero will “learn” that the door will be opened 75 times between 3 pm and 7 pm and adjust its cooling patterns accordingly. This means your precious groceries will stay fresh, despite the constant quest for juice boxes and snacks. Your Sub Zero fridge will also agree with you that there is plenty of food in the refrigerator, despite accusations otherwise. 

5.  Brand Quality

And finally, the quality of Sub Zero appliances is unparalleled. As experts in the home appliance sector, we’re here to say that you will get what you pay for with a Sub Zero. Sub Zero utilizes unrivaled design, cutting-edge technology, and superior materials to craft one of the best refrigerators on the market today. This is a purchase that will stand the test of time.

If you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, you may be considering a Sub Zero. Maybe you’ve heard it’s the professional’s choice and in a class of its own as far as quality. You’ve likely seen (and lusted after) Sub Zero’s in home remodeling shows or at a friend’s house. Sub Zero is considered the best brand of premium refrigerators in the U.S. and is globally recognized as a premier kitchen appliance manufacturer. And the professionals and experts all agree–these stunning workhorses live up to the hype. Here’s everything you need to know before investing in Sub Zero refrigeration in Sacramento. 

Key Features of a Sub Zero Refrigerator

1.  Dual compressor design

Sub Zero refrigeration technology is world-class. Sub Zero’s come with two compressors: one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer. This allows for pinpoint temperature accuracy and more humidity control. Freezers function best when they are dry, while refrigerators use different levels of humidity to keep food fresher for longer. These separate, closed systems keep air separated between units, preventing odor contamination and preserving the freshness and taste of your food. 

2.  Superior temperature control

While temperature control is built into every part of a Sub Zero fridge’s design, one of its most powerful features is its microprocessor-controlled system. This computerized system, along with Sub Zero’s functional design, allows it to maintain precise temperature control. A Sub Zero will stay within one degree of its set temperature…at all times. This far outperforms the average fridge, which can have temperature shifts of more than 10 degrees. Not only do those temperature swings require more energy to correct, but they also allow food-spoiling bacteria and molds to grow more rapidly.

3.  Unrivaled quality and craftsmanship

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, there’s a reason the Sub Zero company can confidently say their refrigerators will last almost two decades; they’ve been in business since 1945, so they have the experience and skill to back up their claims. With a Sub Zero refrigerator, you are purchasing an appliance made with best-in-class materials and components that are crafted with skill and expertise. Sub Zero is known for its exacting attention to detail, which is why they are one of the most sought-after brands.

4.  Flexible design options.

Design your Sub Zero to fit your kitchen’s style with a wide range of options. You have installation options such as installing a few inches out from your counters or having your Sub Zero refrigerator completely flush with your cabinets and counters.

The exterior options are where Sub Zero truly shines. You can choose to match your cabinets exactly or go for classics like stainless steel or glass. And customize the handles to match your kitchen’s aesthetic. 

Sub Zero fridges come in different models like side-by-side, French door, bottom freezer, and single door (columns) fridges and freezers. Using factory-made trim kits, you can play mix and match with the columns for a custom look. 

5.  12-year warranty

Sub Zero backs up its products with comprehensive warranties. All Sub Zero refrigerators come with a complete two-year warranty, which means that if anything goes wrong in the first two years of ownership, the repair cost will be covered. Next, there is a less comprehensive five-year warranty on their patented seal system, which is the core of your fridge and includes compressors, condensers, evaporators, dryers, and tubing. After five years, your sealed system switches over to a 12-year limited warranty, which is considered to be the industry’s gold standard. 

How Much Does a Sub Zero Refrigerator Cost?

Curious about Sub Zero pricing? Here’s an at a glance chart to get you started.

 

Model Features Starting Price
French Door 36/42 inch widths, panel-ready or stainless steel, 21/25 cubic feet options. $11,000
Side-by-Side 36/42/48 inch widths, panel-ready or stainless steel, 21/24/29 cubic feet options. $12,520
Bottom Freezer 30/36 inch widths, panel ready, stainless steel or glass, 18/22 cubic feet options. $8,480
Column Refrigerators 24/30/36 inch widths, panel ready. $8,225
Column Freezers 18/24/30/36 inch widths, panel ready. $7,830
Undercounter 24/27/30/36 inch widths, fridge and freezer, panel ready. $5,475

 

What is the Life Expectancy of a Sub Zero Fridge?

In today’s world of disposable design, a refrigerator is lucky to last 8-12 years, and that’s likely with some repairs along the way. The average lifespan of a Sub Zero refrigerator is twenty years, and its limited warranty will last longer than the average refrigerator runs. This is no accident; Sub Zero designs their fridges to last this long, and they factory test every single unit before it ships. American brand Sub Zero has been in business for over 80 years, so they have the track record to back up their brand. But their products do the speaking for them, with many Sub Zero’s known to last over 20 years. 

What Sizes are Available for Sub Zero Refrigerators?

  1. Built-In Sub Zero fridges are 84 inches high.
  2. Fridge-only and freezer-only columns are 73 inches high.
  3. Sub Zero also offers:
    1. 48-inch models with either 28 or 30.4 cubic-foot sizes.
    2. 42-inch models have 24, 24.2, and 24.7 cubic foot sizes available.
    3. 36-inch models can have 20, 21, 21.4, 22.7, or 23.3 cubic foot sizes.
    4. 30-inch models can have 15.6, 16.5, 17, and 17.3 cubic feet sizes.
    5. 24-inch models can come with 11.1 or 12.9 cubic foot sizes.

Why Purchase a Sub Zero Refrigerator?

1.  Keep food fresh for longer

If you regularly stock up on groceries, then a Sub Zero refrigerator, with its superior temperature and environmental controls, will keep your food fresher and tasting better for longer. This also prevents your food from spoiling, which allows you to use more of your food. The average American family of four wastes about 1/3 of their groceries, to the tune of 250 pounds of food, which costs about $2000 a year. The pinpoint temperature control due to separate compressors offers superior temperature and humidity control to prevent food spoilage and will keep your food fresh and yummy for more time than a regular refrigerator.

2.  Air Purification

Another way your Sub Zero will help food taste better for longer is through its anti-microbial air filtration system. Ethylene gas produced by fresh produce can cause foods to spoil faster, but with the Sub Zero’s air purification system, those gases are whisked away along with odor-causing bacteria. So, your fridge will stay cleaner and smell fresher for longer. 

3.  Vacuum Seal

Sub Zero’s patented vacuum sealing design is another tool in the freshness arsenal. Cool air stays in your fridge and freezer with powerful seals that last for years. Leaking air around fridge seals is a prime cause of temperature fluctuations in other fridges. And leaky seals also cause your fridge to work harder, sucking more energy as it does. These seals are one of the reasons why a Sub Zero costs less to run than other fridges. You can feel the difference with a Sub Zero when you open the door’s patented seal. 

4.  Improve your home’s resale value.

Realtors agree; having a Sub Zero refrigerator drastically increases your home’s value. It’s not only the unparalleled quality of a Sub Zero but the custom fit and finish with your kitchen’s design that’s so appealing to potential home buyers. This makes a Sub Zero fridge not only an investment in a quality appliance that will last 20+ years but also in your home’s resale value.

7 Features & Gadgets To Look For When Purchasing a New Gas Range

Check out features on new gas ranges

A gas range is the strongest ally any cook can have in the kitchen. Gas ranges are preferred by chefs and serious cooks for their superior heating and precise temperatures. New cooks benefit from how easy a gas range is to use, making more cooking adventures a success. If you’re considering purchasing a new gas range, there are more new features than ever before that can enhance your cooking experience. While the classic gas range is still a tried and true workhorse, there’s no reason you can’t have more fun and gain the increased convenience and ease of the features and gadgets a new gas range can boast. Experiment with sous vide, cook for a crowd with a built-in griddle, and win baking competitions with a convection oven. Find gas ranges with all these features at Masters Wholesale. 

More Burners + Better Burners

If you want to stick with the classic range combination of a gas stove top and an oven, then you have the option of more than four gas burners! You can be boiling, frying, searing, and sauteing—all at the same time. The Bosch brand is an excellent choice for a classic gas range with extra burners. The Bosch 800 Series gas range has four regular-sized burners and a larger burner in the middle. This will give you much more flexibility with what you cook and when you do your cooking. The large burner can handle your large pasta pot, while meats, sauces, and veggies can be cooked on the others. 

Another delightful feature you can find with a Bosch range is the dual flame ring power burner. This Bosch 800 Pro Series boasts six gas burners that have dual flame ring burners. A dual flame ring burner has a smaller circular burner inside the main ring. This creates more even heat, allowing for equal browning and searing by avoiding extra hot and cool spaces on your pan. Check out Bosch gas ranges in Sacramento in our showroom!

Convection Ovens 

Bake like a pro with a convection oven. Preferred by bakers everywhere, convection ovens use fans to circulate hot air throughout your oven evenly. This means even browning and no more needing to rotate your cookie sheets. Convection ovens also work great for cooking food in a covered pan, so regular cooks aren’t left out. This stunning Bertazzoni Professional Series Pro Style gas range features a roomy oven with dual convection fans and six spacious dual flame ring burners. 

Another fun feature you can find in a new range is a steam convection oven. Cooking with steam keeps food moist and helps retain vitamins and minerals. Adding steam to a convection oven gives cooks more control over how their food turns out and helps lock in flavor. Cook faster with a Dacor Transitional Style gas range with an extra-large oven, 22,000 BTU burners, and a convection oven with a steam assist feature. 

Warming Drawers

Another fantastic ally cooks can enlist is the warming drawer. Many newer ranges have warming drawers, a compartment in your oven that can be set to warm temperatures, preventing food from cooling before serving. Most meals are prepared in sequence, with the proteins, vegetables, sauces, and bread all finishing at different times. Look like a professional when you serve your entire meal hot with help from your range’s warming drawer. This Bosch 800 Series gas range showcases a warming drawer that will help make every meal a success. 

Stove Top Additions

The modern gas range offers cooks the ability to use more than gas to prepare food. Incorporate multiple cooking methods into one gas range.

1. Built-In Sous Vide

If you’re feeling creative and want more from your gas range, consider sous vide, where food is gently cooked in hot water. Make flawless poached eggs every time with built-in sous vide. The Signature Kitchen Suite Pro Style dual fuel gas range offers gas heat, induction and sous vide.

2. Griddle Flat Top

Cook for a crowd with ease using a built-in griddle or flat top. The chrome-infused electric griddle in the freestanding gas range makes crispy edges and flipping pancakes a breeze. 

3. Induction Cook Top

If you want to boil water in a couple of minutes, choose a gas range with a partial induction stovetop. The stunning Fisher & Paykel Series 9 Pro Style Dual Fuel gas range comes with four gas burners and a large induction stovetop.
