Selecting Appliances - Need advice
Comments (22)"JD Powers data is not personal opinion but scientifically valid research. Unlike the self selected and reported data at Consumer Reports." One supects that had JD Powers not picked the Miele over the other brands, the poster of the above msg would have included them in the "Self Selected Data Camp" Well, guess what? They didn't pick Miele for "Over All Satisfaction"! Yep they gave the award to Miele, but if you check their "Comparison Chart" (See the link below), the Bosch scored higher. If We look at posts here, There is no comparison between the satisfaction between the 2, Miele wins, Hands down. Why is that----why the big difference between JD Powers, CR and the info here??? I think some of the "Attack Dawgs" here are scaring off ppl from telling the truth here, or not posting about problems with "High End Appliances" because "potential posters" look and see what happened to others when they were not "All Sweet and Honey" about their "High End Appliances" (Witness what happened to the user that posted about Wolf Problems)!!!! Yes they should answer "Has Wolf been out", yet still a vicious attack!!! Now look at the post by the user that had an Amana Fridge fail. (I checked, that poster has been here for 6 years) but usually posts in the Garden Section, and as far as I can tell, this is her first post here-----Nothing wrong with that!!!! If something fails it helps us all to know. So, I think we are scaring off users, particularly those who scrimped and saved to buy the "High End Stuff" and we don't (Here on GW) get a true picture of what life really is, with these appliances. Ya may recalls I was batted about a bit for my investigation of Miele ovens, but now at least we have a "Truer Picture" of at least (at this particular time) What the experience with these ovens has been (Thanks to those of you that had "The Guts" to tell it like it is" If we don't, "Tell it like it is" and encourage other folks, especially new posters (to do the same), then GW will fall into the category that our Southern Calif Friend puts CR in, and we won't be a help to anybody!!! I do have a Miele DW and I like it very well, but if it or any of my appliances have problems, "Rest Assured" that you folks will be the first to know---That's how it should be Regardless of whether it's a Miele, SZ , GE what have ya. Likewise I will tell you what has performed Well!!! Gary Here is a link that might be useful: JD Powers Chart...See Morefrustration with choosing appliances
Comments (7)One thing you should recall, if you visit a site like "Consumer Complaints" or anything with a similar title, That is Exactly what you will hear. People that don't have problems are very unlikely to post on those type of sites and if they did, more than likely they would be treated as the "Black Sheep" There. Like mentioned, if you go to that type of site, regardless of the manufacturer, you are going to get an eyefull of complaints. So you might just want to use such info to ferret out any really bad problems, see if that info jives with CR and JD Powers info. Still the best source is Good Old GW, most the folks are honest and they share both their good and bad experiences, so select the appliance, then kind of "Tally up" the Yea's and Nay's here----You will win, most of the time. Good luck on your pending purchases, I got really lucky with mine, cept for a loose door handle on my speed oven, none have required service in 5 years now. Gary...See MoreWhich range and fridge?
Comments (2)KitchenAid Range-Not many people want to be the guinea pig to see if KA self clean is fixed therefore not alot of new feedback. Do you want to be the GP? None of the ranges you mention are very popular on Appliance forum but GE CAFE is popular on Kitchen Forum for a combination of performance,price and looks. Looks being key here. There was a thread started two years ago about the Electrolux french door fridge last post a few months ago. Linked below .I would stay away. KitchenAid-Probably most recommended a few years ago. Nothing great and nothing horrible. Samsung- JD Powers top rated French Door five years running. The only negative rating/comment from Consumer Reports it that it uses a few more dollars in electricity than it's federal energy star rating would suggest, something like $7 per year. I would go with Samsung. One of my sisters did on my recommendation. After a few months she loves it.

Comments (12)I've had the Electrolux 4.4 cu ft steam washer and dryer for more than two years and I love both of them! No issues whatsoever. Your saleslady is right that there are lots of settings and it takes some experimenting to figure out what works best. I had the manual out to the features chart for a couple of weeks. So you should consider the simpler machine because I don't think all of those settings are necessary. But then, they replaced a top loader set with six options! I originally got the pair because nothing could handle a puffy king comforter or dog bed, and these do a fantastic job of both. The machines are very quiet, and fun to look at too. We have them close to our kitchen and can eat dinner while the cycles are running. They barely quiver on the fastest spin cycles. My machines are on a tile floor on an old enclosed porch, so they're not even supported by a full foundation. That's how little they shake! They are also the only ones that allow you to switch the door hinge sides. For super-clean clothes (my teens play sports and use Axe products - ugh), use oxyclean in the pre-wash and set the "add water" option. For the dryer, the fully dry setting is really dry and can shrink things. Set it to almost dry to start with. Also, the newest federal water efficiency requirements are too low for really large washer loads, and whatever washer you pick should provide an optional add water feature during the wash cycle to get stuff clean....See Moresvs128
