Refrigerator and Freezer

Consumer Report Electrolux Refrigerator and Freezer Another Premium Service from TRKOF

And they're silent! And they're silent! The Freezer (Roll) The Refrigerator (Roll) Just before Christmas MoSup prevailed. We replaced our Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer.  We bought them 20 years ago, and during that time we paid the purchase price again in repairs, but I loved the look.  Yes, they were the most poorly engineered and built appliances we ever owned.  It was a battle keeping the lower housing from rusting out - a battle we eventually lost.  And they made noises, according to she who must be obeyed.  Noises I did not hear.  Let me tell you about MoSup's hearing. Last week she was sitting in the sun room and heard munching.  That would be insects munching on leaves.  On a tree in our neighbors yard.  She told him; he inspected,  and lo!  Caterpillars.  She heard bugs eating. Anyway ... . The real reason I fought replacing them was the $$.  It was going to cost us around $15,000 for Sub Zeros.  NFW.  We both agreed on that.  What we bought then, finally, were Electrolux units that she discovered. Did you know Electrolux made refrigerators?  We didn't. The sale price from a local,  family owned appliance store was approx.  $2700.  For the pair.  Installed.  With removal of the Sub Zero carci.  Once installed I did some bitching and moaning about space, etc., but it was what it was - a done deal.  Now, six months later, an evaluation. DEAL OF THE CENTURY Although the footprint for both units is 11 inches narrower than the Zero's, the freezer has the same storage capacity, thanks to very clever compartmenting.  And it has an ice maker that works (the Sub Zero's broke, and the replacement was $420, so we did this). The refrigerator, if it has less space it's not noticeable, again thanks to very clever use of space.  When I'm happy with something, I pass it on, FWIW.  So far these units are FIVE STARS. I bet MoSup is happy I talked her into them.
