The nice thing about Sub Zero is that the whole thing can be disassembled so when something does go wrong it can be repaired. I inherited a 12+ year old one one with my apartment and have been able to strip it down to its circuit boards to clean, maintain, and repair it when needed which I love. The bad thing is the company treats itself like a luxury car brand so OEM parts are a fortune ($400 for a shelf!) and if you aren't interested in doing the work yourself the certified repair guy is going to rake you over the coals like a luxury German auto dealer's service department for simple repairs. Luckily, like with luxury car brands, the resale value of all the parts is basically $0 so you can get used parts (or even entire used appliances) super cheap and there are lots of compatible parts out there on amazon for reasonable prices (I recently had to replace the compressor switch which took about 10 minutes and a $10 part but would have been $200+ to have a tech show up). Net-net it's the best fridge I've ever owned but even so I'm not sure I would have chosen to shell out the $12k for it if I had been the original buyer.
