So glad to hear it.. Thank you!

I bought a 30" Liebherr Built-in that was a floor model. it was less than $5000. Their interior design make the limited space very usable. I'm not rich and my kitchen isn't big , but I did build a really nice kitchen. At first I thought I was foolish to spend so much for a refrigerator. but after 13 years, I've come to love the clean look of a built-in. I'm about to move into a new home and also build a new kitchen, and I'm debating whether or not not do built in again. Times have changed... thing are REALLY expensive now. I think another benefit to expensive built-ins is that repair parts are available for decades- so your $14,000 refrigerator can last 30 years. I could buy a freestanding Samsung for $1700 and try to make it look somewhat built-in, but what happed in 5 years when it breaks? will there be parts? If not, will a different refrigerator look right? that's what I am thinking through.

Thank you, Susan.

Your dedication, knowledge, hard work ethics and integrity make you a true success! An excellent combination in building your very lucky subscribers’ base.. My very best regards, Susan:)

Integrated refrigeration is made to be built into the wall. You're correct about counter depth refrigeration. That is freestanding and needs extra space to vent to prevent form overworking the cooling system.

@@YaleAppliance1 thanks.

I like the Thermador, and also True if you want a Pro look.

@@YaleAppliance1 Thank you for the quick response. Do integrated units preserve food better than free-standing units? Is there a free-standing unit that can match the performance of a integrated fridge? Thank you

So the answer is "whatever works best for your needs." If freezer is a big need and you don't need much fresh food storage than it would work well for you.

@@YaleAppliance1 It's just my husband and I but I prefer storing frozen foods like meat, frozen veggies and fruits, etc for months so I don't need to go to the store. Then I will just transfer to regular fridge the stuff we need for that week so I don't need to open the freezer constantly. That's my plan soon.

First, they are the same product so pick your favorite aesthetic and go for it. We haven't sold the brands in a while so wouldn't be your best resource for service and reliability for these brands. I will say we ended our partnership due to unresolved service issues on the manufacturer side.

I have another video...just for you.

You're very welcome!

I have one...don't worry. Just make sure you have enough capacity.

@@shank296 how much capacity is that, per person?

The JennAir 42-inch French door is a great fridge and you obviously have your reasons for deciding it was the best choice for you so nothing in this video should dissuade you from purchasing.

Integrated fridges should be at least $7k in price, you probably just have a counter depth, which Samsung advertises it as integrated.

@@puddingmango And any time you see the word 'smart' used in the description of a feature or as part of the model name of any consumer product, you can be certain that the product is overpriced by at least 200% per occurrence.

Not at all! Just trying to point out potential issues with these very popular products.

Selling integrated is easy and almost automatic....Thats the problem. Families often need more cubic footage, especially during the last year and a half. I want people to think before they buy

We shop less and buy more.....
