You may want to consider a Summit fridge which is about a foot taller than the Blomberg.  I have a similar one that I LOVE that’s a ConServ model and the Summit looks similar.  It says commercial but it’s very energy efficient. Here’s one:  http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/CP171.html Also, I haven’t gotten it yet so I can’t say how well it works, but I’m getting a side opening oven for the convenience.  It’s a Fagor model.  I’m also getting a Fagor induction cooktop.  Have been using a portable Fagor single burner induction cooktop for a couple of years and it’s great!  I’ve e-mailed Fagor a couple of questions and they’ve gotten back to me really quickly, which I hope indicates good customer service. Talk to SoHo Appliances http://directory.brownstoner.com/category/appliances/.  I’m  getting my appliances from them and they’re offering the best combination of price/delivery. Good luck and enjoy your new appliances!

the answer depends on your. Do you cook a lot? Do you want to show that you cook a lot? Do you prefer to throw money at subzero or find cheapest (i.e. IKEA) apliances possible?
