Sub-Zero’s undercounter refrigeration products are small but mighty—and
they have all your cold storage needs covered.
Hi, I’m Elyse with Designer Appliances. We’re New Jersey’s leading independent appliance retailer,
with two showrooms and a website where you can shop and find hundreds of expert
reviews and shopping guides. Whether you visit us in person or online,
we’ll take the stress and confusion out of the process for you.
In this video, I’m going to walk you through Sub-Zero’s undercounter lineup:
beverage centers, wine coolers, built-in ice makers, refrigerator and freezer drawers,
and undercounter refrigerators. You can use them alongside a full-size fridge or
solo in a bar or pool area. I’ll give you details on them all. Stick around,
and I’ll also share a few of our best installation and customization tips.
The best thing about Sub-Zero? It lives up to its reputation. You can expect its undercounter
products to have the same great build quality and 20-year-plus longevity as its full-size fridges.
You’ll find the same luxury details, like nano-coated shelving, magnetic door seals,
UV-blocking glass, and temperature control within one degree on these units.
They’ll also add that luxury look and value to your home.
If you’re buying full-size Sub-Zero or Wolf appliances for your home,
it makes sense to stick with the brand. The handles and stainless steel will match perfectly.

Now let’s take Sub-Zero’s five undercounter products one at a time.
First, Beverage Centers: These are 24 inches wide. Inside, there’s space
to hold up to 8 bottles of wine. You get a shelf with adjustable gates that slides all the way out
for easy access; you can use those gates to hold cans upright or fold them down for bulky items.
There’s another full-extension shelf and two adjustable glass shelves, plus fun interior LED
lighting that you can tune to four different settings, great for holidays or game day.
In addition to the standard Sub-Zero features, these coolers are Wi-Fi enabled so you can adjust
the temperature remotely. They’ll also ping you if someone accidentally leaves the door ajar.
Next we have Wine Coolers: This is also a 24-inch appliance, but it’s
configured differently to fit up to 42 bottles. The six racks slide all the way out and can hold
everything from half bottles up to magnums. The other major difference between this and a beverage
fridge: It has two temperature zones for red and whites. You also get an inventory tile system of
labels to organize your cabernets and rieslings. Wine lovers will appreciate how the
UV-light-blocking glass and temperature consistency keep
bottles in peak condition as they age. In our opinion, the racks in these units
are the nicest ones out there. They glide super smooth and even smell nice. They’re made entirely
of wood, so you get a whiff of that earthy, natural scent very time you open the door.
We also like how the hinges on these units let you to get a fully flush, zero clearance installation.
SubZero also makes Built In Ice Makers: Do you drive out of the way to get crunchy
ice? Or love cocktails? Sub-Zero’s 15-inch-wide ice maker makes up to 50 pounds of crystal-clear,
octagonal-shaped ice a day and can store up to 25 pounds. In other words, you’ll never run out.
There are two questions to consider when buying an ice maker:
#1: Do you want an ice maker with or without a pump? That depends on where you want to put it.
The pump version doesn’t need to be right next to a drain, so you have more design flexibility.
This can be helpful if, for instance, it’s going to share undercounter space with a dishwasher.
You might want your dishwasher right next to the sink instead.
#2: Is it going inside or outside? Sub-Zero sells indoor and outdoor versions. Just know
that the outdoor version, which will keep churning in temperatures up to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, comes only in stainless steel. Moving on, we’ve got Fridge and Freezer Drawers:
Sub-Zero makes more than a dozen drawer options. Here’s a quick run down:
There are refrigerator drawers, freezer drawers, and flexible drawers that can be both
They come in 24, 27, 30, and 36 inch widths Freezers can have an icemaker or not (just
know it’ll cut into your capacity) There’s a full range of indoor
drawers and an outdoor fridge drawer that comes only with a stainless steel front
In addition to Sub-Zero’s great temperature control features,
these drawers have a soft-close hinges so they’ll never slam. Some have crisper and deli drawers
with humidity settings you can adjust too. We love them for their convenience. It’s
nice to load up a drawer with beer or ice cream and pull it out, versus having to bend
over and reach into a mini fridge. The only downside? You can’t fit a
bottle of wine inside, standing up, which would be great for ones you’ve opened.
And finally, we’ve got Undercounter Refrigerators. If you’re looking for flexible storage,
this 24-inch-wide mini fridge delivers. On the inside, it has a stationary shelf and two
adjustable shelves, a clear storage drawer, and two door bins wide enough for 2-liter bottles.
The control panel on the door makes it easy to adjust everything—and there’s Wi-Fi if you want
to tweak the settings remotely. The outdoor version has all the
same features minus the door bins, and comes only in stainless steel.
I mentioned earlier that we love the customization you can get with these appliances.
The outdoor pieces come only in stainless steel, but you can design the doors and fronts of all
the indoor undercounter products to match your surrounding cabinetry. We love how this creates
a seamless look with the rest of your cabinets. Prefer an industrial look? Stick with stainless
steel. You really can’t go wrong. I hope

products. Still have
