Sub-Zero® PRO 30.4 Cu. Ft. Stainless Frame Built-In Side-by-Side Refrigerator

Instead of opening your refrigerator (and wasting energy) you can quickly glance through the window to check on your ingredients and add items to your grocery list.
The next coolest factor is the four drawers that make up this appliance. You can choose separate temperatures for each of these drawers and designate specific items for each space. For example, you can have a vegetable crisping drawer, a dairy drawer, and a wine drawer. No other refrigerator provides this much flexibility at this size.
Back in the main refrigeration compartment, you can feel confident about your groceries through the Sub-Zero air circulation system. It uses NASA-based advanced air purification technology to remove ethylene, mold, viruses, and bacteria from the air. This prevents those toxins from landing on your food, so you come into contact with fewer germs and chemicals throughout the day.
