I'm currently battling Whirlpool over replacement of a Jade fridge--Whirlpool now owns Dacor, Jenn-Air and Jade--and they have told me they "can't get" the Dacor fridge. What this means, or if it's even accurate, I have no idea. They have also told me that the Jenn-Air fridge--basically the same fridge but a bit cheaper with different handles--is "built to order," meaning they don't make them until they're ordered. Not sure if this is true either, but it's what I've been told by both a salesperson and Whirlpool themselves. If I didn't already have cabinets built to fit this fridge (all are built on the same chassy), I would definitely look elsewhere. -Susan W.

My Dacor range (ERD30S06) still looks like new after 10 yrs. use, but I wouldn't give it away to a family member or friend at this point. I'm one of the unfortunates dealing with a bad circuit board. My model is also super loud when the oven is on and takes ages to preheat. I absolutely get that some good brands get a bad rap in internet reviews for having had one model or two that were lemons. I almost steered clear of purchasing a JennAir range for our lake place for that reason. So glad I decided to go with one. It's been a reliable workhorse for the past 5 years. I understand how tempting the deal sounds on the Dacor, but I would urge you to get as much info as you can before buying it. Mine has become such an unreliable pain that I can't wait till I can afford to replace it.

Thanks deeebert. Yes, actually I do live in Atlanta and have been to Sewell and that is where I first learned about the Dacor Millenia. I am just so curious to hear from someone who has it in real life. Someone somewhere out there must have it, right...

I'm looking at the 36" model of either one. After reading the forums, I was also considering the Thermador Masterpiece, Wolf, and Blue Star, but I don't know that I could justify the extra cost. Is there another gas cooktop that is more consistently recommended in the $1300 - $2000 range?
