Wow. What an ordeal! Our contractors installed a Prestige liner in a custom wood hood, Prestige remote blower and wall switch kit. Went very smoothly and works great. The only time we needed to talk to customer service was when we were sizing the blower for our duct run. We consulted with them and they were very helpful. Sorry you've had such a bad experience. Hope it improves for you.

I don't have the E-series but I will comment on my experience with Wolf. I have the L-series double ovens and I am thrilled to death with them. The temperature is always right on and the preheat time is great. I have found them easy to keep clean and I love the racks. I keep trying out different cooking modes and everything I have made has turned out great. To me they are well worth the money we spent. Good luck with your decision.

I have one of unknown vintage. It does work! Works as well as a regular hood as far as I can tell--it'll grab all the steam from a huge pot of water but that's as far as my testing goes. So, I can't really help you except to say it opens up a kitchen quite a bit--design-wise, very cool hood!

You may not like piano hinged cabinets, for whatever reason, but the fact of the matter is that they remain the most popular corner choice for a reason. They provide the best access to the most usable amount of corner storage that your kitchen can have. A single 36'' super susan can hold an entire pot and pan collection, and you can get even the big stockpot in and out. Or it can hold a small applince addict's blender, crockpot, griddle, rice cooker, backup coffee maker, Foreman grill, food processor, and still have room to spare. For an upper, a digonal corner cabinet has a relatively small door compared to the internal volume that it contains. It can hold a lot of medium sized objects, but they are more difficult tl get in and out. The L shaped corner with the double hinged door provides full access to every bit of the room, and you can put objects as deep as the entire shelf into the cabinet and still easily get them in and out without twisting them on their sides to fit through the door. Examine your ''dislike'' and get over it if you want the most function from your kitchen.
