Great find! I had my eye on a var Rhapis at a nursery here. They were asking $200. I decided I didn't want to spend the money. If it had been $60. I wouldn't have batted an eye. I do have a green one. It came potted pretty tight. I had read that they don't like root disturbance, so I cut off the pot, left the root ball intact and potted it up in a good bark mix. I, also, read that tap water would lead to brown leaf tips, so I use rain, humidifier or air conditioner water. When I water, I pour some in and then wait about 15 mins for a second app. I have it in a north room, but place it in the window that gets the most light (west). I fert with Foliage Pro. Periodically, I do put it in the shower to clean the leaves - loves it! I have had the plant for about five or more years and it looks great, but I am envious of your variegated one.

Paul, I can't seem to get a pot big enough anywhere. I bought one at home depot yesterday and it is just a little to small. I got the palm in the garage with the root ball wrapped in plastic and i put some water on the roots to keep it moist. The temp in the garage is at 60 with high humidity. Tomorrow i am going to try this nursery over here called sids and see if they got somthing that will work. As far as that goes the palm looks great! I sprayed the leaves with wiltproof to protect it from moisture loss and to help with the transplant shock...once i get it into a pot LOL. I will keep everyone updated.

I'd do the Jenn-Air, but only because I bake alot & gas ovens don't lend well to baking. As far as a griddle goes, you can buy one that will pop right on top of 2 burners & you're good to go + you can pop it into the dishwasher when you're done! Without an established track record + harder service on the NXR, you may be asking for trouble should anything go wrong with the range somewhere down the line. Also keep in mind that most people don't remember to post positive reviews on things they buy if they're happy with them, but they can't wait to post negative reviews when something goes wrong with an item. That being said, GW is great for gathering reviews of all kinds. If you are really going to buy 1 of the 2, do you think you can talk the store into hanging onto them say until tomorrow for a small "downpayment" that will go toward the final purchase price of whichever one you choose? This would give you time to get some reviews from the forum on both models (you may want to update with exact model #s for accuracy of reviews or post again with title along the lines of 'NXR (Model#) or JennAir Pro (Model #)'). The store can always take names & numbers of other interested parties and call them back if you don't buy the one they wanted. We're only talking 24 hours afterall. Lastly, have you called other appliance dealers in the area to see what price they could give you for these same appliances (or another brand that may solve the issues you outlined with these two) whether new or floor model? That might just solve the time crunch part of your dilemma. I'd barter for time & not let them rush me into a decision I might later regret. Just my $0.02
