High end refrigerators
Comments (11)Monogram is considered high end by most - though it's bring up the rear. Their fridges USED to represent a good value compared to Sub Zero , but not any more. The Monogram quality on the USA made models has gone waaaaay down as has the fit and finish. The exception is they have a fully integrated line up that is made in eastern Europe that is fairly competitive with the big players in terms of technology, fit/finish and pricing. I'd pass on their 36" & 42 " built in models now....See MoreHi Folks; What are the high CFM 30 inch hoods that are 27 inches deep?
Comments (6)Out in the open, the effluent plume from a pan (aided by gas combustion products around the pan, where applicable) rises and expands. Most of the plume (for hot plumes) lies within a 10-degree from vertical cone extending upward from the pan edges. As the hood/cooktop configuration becomes enclosed by a back wall, and partially by cabinets or side skirts (primarily commercial), the hood effective aperture is partially extended downward and forward. This brings some of the entry air due to the hood system blower to be somewhat brought down and forward. With sufficient enclosure all of the hood air will be pulled from the cook's position. But also to be considered is that air velocity away from a hood entrance falls rapidly. So when a hood just overlaps a front burner pan, even with partial cabinet enclosure, plume capture is chancy. If unsuccessful, there will be some uncaptured plume. This is not the same as hood spillage, where capture is initially successful, but plume momentum causes some plume reflection out of the hood due to insufficient CFM for containment. So if forced for some reason to use a hood that isn't ideal in front burner overhang, one has to compensate by cooking the greasiest stuff on the back burners. Of possible value would be generating a side view of the configuration with burner locations marked and various pan sizes marked, with 10-degree off-vertical lines intersecting or not the hood aperture. This may inform you of what pans to use and what you can cook in them. Ultimately, though, experience with the hood will provide a refined understanding of capture performance, because gedanken experiments with nominal plume characteristics will not address every fluid dynamical effect that occurs in practice....See MoreHigh end, 30" deep refrigerators?
Comments (18)“There are generations of people that grew up using "standard" depth fridges.” Yes, because that’s all there was. “It is amusing that they are now too deep to find things. I have no problem finding things in the back of mine.” It’s what you’re used to, and you see no reason to change. Fine for you. However, that doesn't mean that counter depth and built-in refrigerators aren’t a vast improvement...both in functionality and esthetics…and that many people prefer the convenience of these improvements. If we all just stuck with what we ”grew up with”, there wouldn’t be any innovation. We’d still be using fridges with top freezers, and without automatic defrosting. All of the people who just HAVE to have in door ice and water dispensers…well, forget about that innovation, too. Think about the appliances we have in our kitchens and laundry rooms now, compared to what we grew up with. Would you rather be using old engineering, or current?...See MoreWhich high end refrigerator would you choose? Are other brands notabl
Comments (16)We didn't look at any high end ones, but we tried to find a side by side because that's what we had for years. It seemed like none compared well to our old side by side and they all looked smaller inside even though the cubit feet was the same. I think in most they made the shelves deeper and the door bins smaller so things in the back were hard to reach. Also I noticed a lot don't have adjustable shelves, or that you can't adjust them much. Our old one had huge door bins all the way up and down and we could adjust all the shelves and door bins. I read a lot of reviews and LG typically seemed to have better ones. Friends also said LG was good. So we ended up going with a french door LG. Only been a month so far but we like it a lot and it seems very roomy and easy to access everything. Also all the shelves are adjustable! We don't use a lot of ice so we got one that has a bin for ice in the freezer part that we can actually turn off if we need to. The door dispenses water only. Hoping it lasts for years....See MoreUser
