I think we need a Rokslide tracking dog thread. Then I will follow it daily. I will research the eff out of tracking breeds. I will create a spreadsheet. I will begin the discussion with Mrs fwafwow. I will fail.
We already have the KA dishwasher, and so far (knock on wood) it's been fine. I think we are set on KA for all of the items, but I've been tasked with deciding on the fridge. We went to an appliance showroom today and saw the SZ and KA, and I may follow-up with them about Thermador and Meile. I...
KitchenAid is taking the lead with Mrs fwafwow - for all of them - gas range (downdraft - apparently not common), fridge, icemaker and wall oven microwave combo. They have bundling price breaks. But CR gives 3/5 for reliability and customer satisfaction for KitchenAid.
Thanks for the information. I’d get one if I really thought it would save me headaches. But then I also see a post like the one above by @NCTrees.
Do you keep in touch with your homeowners - such that if they had a bad appliance experience a few years later, they would let you know? I could...
One problem with common sense is that it’s a phrase that is often used to justify doing something the way it’s always been done, even if there is no (objective) evidence to support that custom or approach is ideal. If *anyone* thinks what they do can’t be improved upon, they are naive. And I’m...
Thanks. The dishwasher is KitchenAid and it would save loads to just get more of that. Good news on counter depth is that we have other fridges (especially after the remodel). No worries on installation or coordinating among the various people - at least that’s not a worry of mine, as I’m...
You can have the cabinets in the kitchen match the fridge. The cabinet maker can make the panel to match the “panel ready” fridge. I’m still working out whether I/we care about that.
I’ve had problems with the thru the door water and ice dispensers in a few fridges, so I was thinking of avoiding both. I can replace the ice with a separate ice maker. Maybe I’m being too reactive, as maybe the problem is the thru the door option?
I am checking out Miele. Thanks!
Thank you. The “panel ready” (a term unknown to me before today) option doesn’t seem to have a no ice/no water dispenser option. Looks like it’s rabbit hole time!
That’s what scares me. But what also scares me is that before RS I bought stuff based on incomplete info. I’m hoping to make sure to avoid those types of brands, due to repair problems or other issues, but also not overpay for something in trying to avoid those. Is a Wolf stove worth the extra...
I’m hoping for some practical advice on home appliances for a kitchen renovation. I need a new fridge (panel ready, no ice or water), ice maker (with pump), stove top, oven(s) and microwave. Some of those can be combined (like stove + air fryer/microwaver), but others can’t (like stove top and...
