Either are a lot of money to spend. I personally don’t think Thermador is even close to Bluestar! I’ve decided on a Bluestar RNB Rangetop myself. Is it worth it to you to save $1,000 and not get exactly what you want? I’m going with SubZero for my fridge, but the Bluestar fridge is sure dreamy! (I wanted the availability of matching columns in multiple sizes for my fridge brand). I am going with Bosch dishwashers.

What styles of cooking, how often for how many people? For the money I'd generally say RNB + SZ Frig/Freeze.

B Carey. Yes I Know they are $$$ my first choice is the BS. (And yes the 36 pro fridge is dreamy!!). Thermador offers a “deal” if you outfit your kitchen. I just got an email from BS corporate who is going to send me info on what they can do if you buy a “package”. due the the rearrangement of our kitchen the 48 range is where my current fridge is and the fridge is moving to where the pantry is. I only have 46” max for fridge. I was going to consider columns but i can’t fit 2 /24. And an 18 inch freezer looks really small. I haven’t considered SZ yet as was hoping to save a bit on a package. But as you say... what’s another $1k when you are doing a 100k reno??😂🙄🙄

@Kim Dick I know this was a while ago, what did you end up going with? I'm trying to decided between a 36" SZ or Bluestar built in fridge. Did BS give you a bundle deal?
