Have you ordered a Sub-Zero lately?
I sure hope you have your orders in!
I just got word from them the entire classic series “BI” is discontinued. The new “CL” series is to start shipping in 2023. Now keep in mind that they also discontinued the entire Integrated series “IT” and “IC”. Sub-Zero is moving over to the new “DET” series. What does this mean to you?
It means Sub-Zero is a tough buy if you need a fridge right away.
Not sure what they were thinking for such a quality brand with a stellar reputation. They even had their promotions revamped for the year. This almost makes it unbuyable at the moment unless you have a lot of time on your hands.
The only glimmer of hope is Sub-Zero introducing a 48” French door fridge for 2023. So something is finally new on the market! In addition to their updates on their Classic and Designer series of refrigeration.
Below are the new models that will be available. This webpage has a comprehensive list of the upcoming Sub-Zero products with a time of release, and info on their new lines of coffee systems, wine storage, and their Classic and Designer series of refrigeration.
These are the new Sub-Zero models that will be available in 2023:

With all these delayed units from Sub-Zero and so many new units coming out next year it’s easy to feel completely lost, but no need to fear, Al is here to help! Here are some resources with my other picks.

Here are my top standard-sized refrigerator choices:
Here are my top beverage refrigerator choices:
BlueStar’s column refrigerators are new to the market and a marquee feature is their ability to hold a commercial sheet tray!
Here’s a link to the topic on the site full of all of the refrigerator questions I’ve been answering!
Do you still have comments? Questions? Concerns?
Let me know!
In the comments let us know how this change affects you. Are you shifting to another brand? Or are you going to stand firm and wait for your Sub-Zero? They’re such high-end machines, I’d love to know if you think the wait is worth it.
Interested in purchasing kitchen appliances? Head to Plessers.com or call 1-877-957-5377 and tell them Al sent you!
So, what do you think this means to those of us that have had columns on order since last July? The last delivery dates given were 4/5 for the frig and 6/7 for the freezer. Do you think it will happen or should I just bail and find something else?
We see them coming in mostly 8-10 months from the order date. If ordered, they will come in. Especially the older orders. The newer ones are the issue. They won’t take orders for old models any longer. Lead times for new are 12-16 months, most likely.
Thank you for sharing the updates on the new Designer Series, I couldn’t even find this information on the SubZero site! I ordered the IT-30RID and IT-30FI in Sept 2021 (with a delivery date of Mar 2022) and was told today that they are upgrading me to the DET3050RID and DET3050FI models due to production issues. . . . I was given a production date of Oct 2022 for these new models but your blog appears to be stating that they aren’t available until 2023. Or am I misinterpreting that and you are referring to the model year vs. when they will be available? Just trying to have realistic expectations on when we might actually receive our new appliances!! Thank you for your help!
Hi Al! Any update on production of these new units? We’re waiting for the DET3050RID and DET3050FI models (upgraded from the discontinued integrated series) . . . I heard that production started 2 weeks ago but still don’t have an estimated date. From what I understand we should receive our units before anyone who ordered the new designer series, just wondering how long it takes to get them from the production plant to the retailer. Thanks!
So the DET series will start to ship in Feb I am being told that production is still on schedule and not effected by the older It IC series delays. Order dates I am seeing is 12-14 months from the day we place the order for the customer. My orders from last Jan are showing end of Feb in their portal.
Your column isn’t dated, but assume was in early 2022. What is the outlook now? I placed my order in June 2022.
Hi Al. Thanks for all the information. I ordered the new 48 French door back in the first week of Dec and was curious if there was a way to know how much of a delay I’m looking at. Is the portal you mentioned something anyone can access with their order?
10-12 MONTHS From date of order seems to be accurate the 48 french will be later as it is brand new not till 3rd quarter 2023. Things are loosening up for them,.
The dealer can log into a portal and give you pretty accurate dates as Sub does provide build dates to them 48 french still late 2023.
