Look for a counter depth 42 inch (wide) units. There are many choices out there.

If you want it to look like it was designed you are pretty much stuck with buying a high $$ fridge - especially at 42" wide.

There just are not a lot of choices at that width. You may be able to save a few dollars with a GE Monogram, or Thermador, or you may not. Depends on a lot of factors.

Hey dj, I disagree with your assessment. There are almost NO 42" counter depth units on the market. I would love to be proved incorrect though, so link away if you know of any.

Keep in mind, a SZ is a great appliance that is meant to last. Like the value of your house or BMW, properly maintained they are designed to last for years, and be serviced accordingly. They are not a "use it for 10 years and buy another" appliance.

....except Liebherr doesn't have a 42" wide model !

Come on people, the quest is for a fridge that is:

1. built-in - meaning 24" deep
2. 42" wide
3. 84" tall - or less
4. less expensive than a sub zero.
5. did I mention 42" wide, not 36", not 48" , not 30" , but 42"

In other words - it's a very,very short list and hard to populate.

Ajmadison lists 16 42" wide choices meeting your measurement limitations. Pricing begins just north of $5K.

Side note, I am very happy with my BI 36" KA fridge. I also didn't want to spend big bucks on SZ, but wanted a BI look.

The AJ Madison search linked above is pretty representative (missing Jenn-Air and Electrolux).

If you are trying to save money, if you go to the high-end appliance shops, they usually have the floor models on sale this time of year.

Thank you all for your suggestions. It looks like I will have to spend at least $5,000 but better than $10K!

Jenn-Air and ask if there are floor models. I am getting the 48" model new for $8500.

Which one are you going to buy?Can you put a link here?

Barb, this is an old conversation/query. You might want to look at KitchenAid. They make 84” built in fridges for under $10k.
