Comments (8)GE Monogram Advantium has two handle options. Tubular or Pro style. If you get the tubular you can match it with better ovens. 1) Gaggenau 2) Wolf L Series 3) Electrolux with tubular handle 4) Monogram with tubular handle The Gaggenau has a side opening door so you don't have to reach over a hot oven door. No need to pull extension racks or risk burning under your arms reaching over hot oven door. Also has internal air catalyst which cleans air of grease and odor before exiting into your kitchen. Ovens with pro style handle 1) Wolf E Series with pro style handle 2) Electrolux with pro style handle 3) Monogram with pro style handle. Rangetop 1) Capital Culinarian 2) Bluestar RNB Both powerful open burners that deliver a very even heat across the bottom of the pan without wasting a lot of heat going to the sides and around pans which is typical of sealed burners. BS has a lower low while CC has a higher high. IMO the CC has better heat distribution and better fit and finish. BS fans will bitterly dispute that till hell freezes over then they will continue to argue the point at center ice.:) Refrigerator Built-in vs Full Depth Free Standing. IMO the major advantage of the full depth is that you can place 4 one gallon jugs vs typically 2 in a built-in. The full depth is a bigger box so it has more interior room but it has been my experience that the extra room is the Bermuda triangle of refrigeration. Specialty cheese and left-overs I forget until molded over and ready for trash. Built-ins are better organized and you can quickly see all contents with a quick scan after opening the refrigerator. Plus the built-in looks sharp tucked into the cabinets and does not stick out into the walk way. Many people cheap out and buy counter depth free-standing fridges and then ignore install instructions and build cabinetry around the fridge to make it look built-it without space to allow adequate ventilation. Compressor works harder, makes more noise, consumes more energy, and dies an early death. Then they scream " they don't make'em like they used to." FD vs SxS. The big advantage of the SxS is if you want an ice dispenser the ice maker goes in the freezer where every appliance engineer with an IQ above 70 would put it. Putting the ice maker in the refrigerator creates the issue of either ice is melting then freezing into a ball or the refrigerator is so cold items near the ice maker in the fridge start freezing. The advantage of the FD is full size serving trays, large cakes, wide anything(Turkey, Pizza etc) short of the width of the fridge fits. Kitchen Aid makes a 42" built-in French Door without ice dispenser btw. If space and budget allowed I would buy that KA built-in FD and a separate under counter clear ice(restaurant quality) Hoshizaki ice maker, and I would custom panel it to match the surrounding cabinets. Otherwise I would get a SxS with ice dispenser because my family is a full glass of ice with every drink type clan....See MoreSamsung & Power Outage
Comments (7)Fortunately we have few power failures here, in Orange County Calif. We have all underground utilities, and a buried transformer went "Kaput"---1st it took them a while to figger out which one, then dig it up and replace it. The Samsung Fridge is a "Dual Evaporator Fridge", (I think) so it will not be able to "Bleed" cold air from the freezer to the fridge, (I know it's actually the warm air migrates to the freezer). More important than the "bleeding" would be 1st, How good are the door seals, we have seen posts where some fridges do have problems with door seals, so do as much research as you can and perform a "Personal inspection" on the door seals, on any refrigerator that you are considering. 2nd would be , how well is the fridge insulated--- I suspects most are pretty darn good---they hafta be to pass energy star ratings--alto we know there have been some "Bogus ratings" so be careful---one suspects the higher the energy star ratings of a fridge, the better it is sealed and insulated (given that most use the same or very similar compressor/compressors. The best thing, (assuming you have a helpful and co-operative appl1ance store nearby, would be to ask "said store" to power down a fridge you are considering (for a "typical power failure time") in your area and see if the temp stays as a safe level for your food. Good luck on your upcoming decision! Gary...See Morefrequent indoor power outage
Comments (8)You had better replace that panel A.S.A.P. I have the same problem, well HAD the same problem. I fixed it but due to a safety issue i can't tell you what i did. Your buss bars are separating. The screws are coming loose on the main strips under all the breakers. You can't see them unless you remove all breakers. My main breaker would trip " without " the handles moving. It was a 125 amp breaker and would trip on 60 amps. It was red hot and actually burned one contact leg. I had to freeze the breaker before i could reset it. My double throw breaker on my pool heater would also trip " without " the handle moving. Drove me nuts for a week. I decided to quit being lazy one day and checked for power at the pool. Low and behold, no power. Breaker didn't trip. So i thought. It tripped. Handel didn't move. Is your load balanced ?...See MoreNeed help determining what type of UPS and whole house surge protector
Comments (16)A UPS is not a surge protector. UPS manufacturers quietly recommend no motorized appliances or protector strips on its output. Reason is made obvious by an output from a typical UPS. For example my 120 volt sine wave UPS outputs 200 volt square waves with a spike of up to 270 volts. From high school math, we know that is a sum of pure sine waves. Perfectly ideal power for electronics. And problematic for motorized appliances (and protectors). They did not lie. They simply played fast and loose with most consumers who do not always demand spec numbers. A 'so called' pure sine wave may only be one IF spec numbers do not say 'how pure'. Also read its specs for surge protection. Destructive surges can be hundreds of thousands of joules. How many joules does a UPS absorb? Typically hundreds. That near zero protection is sufficient to hype it as 100% protection to naive consumers. A UPS battery typically lasts about three years. These things are made as cheap as possible. UPS is only a temporary and not a recommended solution. Better is something that will delay power restoration. Unfortunately that power delay switch does not have a UL listing (some other electrical items also do not). Be careful with their wording. They say it complies with UL requirements. They do not say it was tested to confirm it complies with UL requirements; to have passed testing in a UL approved lab. Number of cubic feet means nothing. That switch must provide sufficient current to meet the current (or power) requirements listed on a label on that refrigerator or in it User Manual specifications. Any answer that does not include a number should be considered bogus; probably a lie....See Moredoug_gb
