the use of commercial appliances in the home has a few benefits, but also a few safety issues. commercial ranges need additional space for heat protection and also more exhaust capability. the refrigerators do not have any electrical savings at all, most are designed to run a 24 hour continuous cycle to maintain the defrost cycle, are load -but cool if money is no object. the cost to buy is potentially lower but the operating cost and even installation cost is higher. most commercial appliances are 28-30" deep so don't normally fit within a residential kitchen.
Wolf/Sub Zero and Miele have designed appliances with the power of commercial eqmt but designed specifically for residential application. You can run a 48" wide refrain/freezer for a year for the cost of a 100 watt light bulb, they are quiet and are designed to fit into a home environment. the downside-since the appliances are designed to have a 20+year life span- they cost 3 times what a Samsung product runs-
bottom line- there are specific high end appliances that are designed for long life, low cost operations and they also have features that provide for cooking enjoyment.
