Back in 1945, a couple of years after Westya Baker built his first freezer, the SubZero Freezer Company began. Since then, SubZero has been producing high-quality refrigeration that has been and is currently being installed in homes that demand the best of quality and latest in refrigerator technology. SubZero’s built-in refrigeration design even landed them a partnership with Frank Lloyd Wright as he placed SubZero refrigerators in newly designed and modern homes. Today SubZero still produces made in the USA appliances directly out of Madison, Wisconsin.

SubZero Refrigerator Styles
SubZero specializes in premium and offers a variety of high-quality refrigerator styles. Below are the many types of refrigerators that SubZero produces, from column refrigerators to built-in refrigerators to counter depth refrigerators and more. SubZero even has wine coolers and beverage centers as you’ll see below.
French Door Refrigerators
SubZero offers multiple French door refrigerator styles with capacities between 20.5 cu. ft. and 28.9 cu. ft. Like many luxury brands, many of these French door refrigerators come panel-ready for homeowners to customize to suit the kitchen vision of their dreams. All models are made for built-in installation for a fully integrated look that’s undeniably high-end.
Column Refrigerators
Column refrigerators offer a thinner refrigerator option for homeowners who need additional refrigeration storage or those who want to personalize the flow of a kitchen by breaking up a refrigerator and freezer. Many SubZero column refrigerators can be customized to have the front door handle on the left or right side of the appliance, and like their French door counterparts, panel-ready options are available.
Side-by-Side Refrigerators
SubZero offers large side-by-side refrigerators with capacities up 30.4 Cu. ft! Many of these refrigerators have stainless-steel exteriors, although panel-ready models aren’t left out of the mix. If you want to go big and make a bold statement, this line offers 48” refrigerators that will instantly claim the center of attention in any kitchen.
Featured Product: Sub-Zero® 28.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Built In Side By Side Refrigerator
Shop This Sub-Zero Side by Side Refrigerator
The SubZero large-capacity side by side refrigerator creates its own spotlight with brilliant LED lighting, along with automatic ice maker with a ‘max ice’ option and advanced, anti-microbial air purification system that protects fresh ingredients from mold and bacteria. In fact, this air filter runs a cycle every 20 minutes to ensure the air is clean and fresh. Because this model is built with two separate cooling systems, freezer food and fresh food are well-preserved at optimum climate settings.
Bottom Freezer Refrigerators
SubZero offers quite a few refrigerator models in this bottom freezer style. With a variety of capacities, homeowners can find the best-sized refrigerator for their space. Bottom mount refrigerators are great alternatives to costlier French door refrigerators because they also have a pull-out freezer drawer at the bottom, placing the fresh food compartment higher at shoulder height. As a result, foods that are used the most are easier to access with minimal bending. Homeowners can choose from a left or right-handed handle, classic exterior or clear exterior, and more customizations.
Built-In Refrigerators
Most SubZero refrigerators are available as built-in models. While that means there’s an additional cost to install the refrigerator, integrated refrigerators are indicative of gourmet kitchens. But heads-up: built-in refrigerators are shallower than freestanding models, so to make up for lost depth, they are typically taller than standard refrigerators.
Counter Depth Refrigerators
Counter-depth refrigerators are like built-in refrigerators in that they sit back into the wall flush with the cabinetry. While these models won’t fit completely level with nearby cabinets and counters, they’re far less obtrusive than freestanding models. The difference is that counter-depth refrigerators can easily be moved if needed whereas built-in refrigerators cannot be adjusted. Homeowners looking for flexibility—or concerned about the added cost of installation—might find counter-depth refrigerators from SubZero a nice alternative.
Freezerless Refrigerators
Need some extra space for your fresh foods and drinks? SubZero supplies just a few freezerless refrigerator models for more refrigeration storage. But in most cases, SubZero column refrigerators are made to complement SubZero all freezer systems. Get creative and design the perfect layout for your kitchen with the liberating designs SubZero column refrigerators and freezers offer. These are part of SubZero’s Designer series, the collection with the most modern aesthetic.
Wine Coolers
Wine coolers from SubZero are a great way to keep your wine always chilled. Homeowners can choose from small or large wine coolers depending on their needs. Each cooler is built with modern wine racks and magnetic door seals to keep beverages fresh.
Featured Product: Sub-Zero® Designer 18" Panel Ready Wine Cooler
Shop This Sub-Zero 18” Wine Cooler
For a modern take on the classic wine cellar, consider the SubZero Designer 18” wine cooler. This wine cabinet holds up to 59 bottles of wine and maintains a constant humidity level to keep wine corks from drying out. Additionally, red wines and white wines are stored at separate temperatures for the best flavor. LED lighting makes it easier to find the wine you are looking for. This SubZero wine cooler also connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network, so you are always aware of the status of your wine cooler.
Under Counter Refrigerators
Under-counter refrigerators from SubZero are great for storing beverages and a small number of fresh foods. These mini refrigerators are tucked away under the counter and some models can be customized to match the cabinetry. SubZero also includes beverage centers, and like under-counter refrigerators, SubZero beverage centers can also sit under the counter for convenient access to beverages like soda, wine, beer, and more.
Outdoor Kitchen Refrigeration
When it comes to outdoor kitchen refrigerators, SubZero produces a few styles of outdoor refrigerator drawers. These under-counter drawers are the perfect addition to any luxury outdoor kitchen.
