For the twelfth year in a row, builders, developers, and general contractors have ranked Sub-Zero No. 1 in Quality in refrigeration, in an annual brand use study commissioned by Hanley Wood Publishing. Wolf cooking appliances also took the No. 1 spot for Quality in the Ranges/Cooktops category (as it has for four of the past five years), and No. 1 for Quality in the Outdoor Kitchens/Grills/Barbeques category for the sixth straight year.
The in-depth study, completed by over 3,000 home building professionals across the country, surveyed respondents’ familiarity with, use of, and opinions about brands in 81 product categories. Independent research company Readex administered the survey for Hanley Wood’s Builder magazine.
“For over 65 years, we’ve taken great pride in the high quality of our products, and it’s gratifying to know that year after year building professionals continue to recognize Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances as the top quality brands in their categories,” said Jim Bakke, President and CEO for Sub-Zero and Wolf. “We take great stock in the opinion of builders, given their expertise and critical role to our business. Our Sub-Zero and Wolf refrigeration and cooking appliances are manufactured in the USA and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.”
Sub-Zero and Wolf products are manufactured using only materials that are proven to stand the test of time. Each Sub-Zero and Wolf unit is tested for a minimum of five hours to ensure proper performance and functionality, and the company conducts reliability lifespan testing to guarantee that the products will last for many years of daily use.
