Hi all

we are installing a 24” under counter wine refrigerator in our new kitchen remodel.

we are doing sub zero for fridge and freezer but not sure about wine fridge. it has to be panel ready, attractive, and QUIET as we are noise sensitive and will be close to the kitchen table and family room.

Our salesperson was very nice and showed us a Perlick which is high quality but he has had noise compaints about it so that is out.

A more budget option is the Zephyr, which he says is very quiet. We didn’t like the look of the stainless steel shelves and he said it might need to be replaced in 7-10 years. But it gets very good reviews on Amazon and the Zephyr website says it also comes with black wood shelves which i find more attractice (I think…). less than half the price of perlick and sub zero.

Sub Zero. Went to the showroom where it was actually plugged in not on display mode. could not hear any noise. shelves are made out of pretty blonde wood. i would assume great quality since it is SZ but read some old reviews on Houzz that says they are bad quality and dont live up to the hype/price. it cost over $4,000!

if anyone has any experience with the above brands, please please respond and give me your feedback.

thanks in advance.
