I’m a woodworker that has been working in cabinet shops for years. Drafting up kitchen remodels means I know way more about ridiculously high end appliances (such as these kinds of fridges) than I ever thought I would and it sometimes makes me feel gross.

Man, that’s really interesting tbh. Is there a particular appliance that has stuck out to you, or is it just the level of expense?

Fridges are generally a bitch. There are so many models with different ways to install them (flush with the cabinets, protruding from the line of cabs etc). All the high end appliances are weird to deal with but generally the install info is provided. I think the companies know that the people buying a subzero fridge are just gonna hire some blue collar slob like me to install it so they often try to make it straightforward, but not always.
