capital precision 60" range w/grill & griddle
2 thermador freedom 30" towers: refrigerator & freezer
2 DWs: miele optima & excelle
sharp in draw microwave
marvel beverage cooler

was toying with the idea of a lacanche but i'm afraid the ovens will be too narrow. i bake BIG. some kind of ice maker ...am i missing anything?

Okay, I didn't want to post earlier because I was too busy changing my mind (!) but as kateskouros says, "as of today" ;)

55" Lacanche Cluny 1400, Classique, Warming Cabinet (Burgundy Red)
24" Gaggenau Combi/Steam Oven (Anthracite) - it's in the garage!
72" Northland Side-by-Side Built-In Refrigerator/Freezer (custom panels)
24" Sharp Microwave Drawer (Black)
Two KitchenAid Dishwashers (custom panel)
KitchenAid Trash Compactor (custom panel)
Vent-A-Hood insert
Icemaker? Maybe...
Wine Storage? No, we have a separate wine room (we're not wine-ohs, but we'll be on a vineyard so it's a MUST).

Aloha & ciao,

Here is a link that might be useful: My Kitchen at VineyardAvenue.com

We are in the process of remodeling so I'm listing what I plan (wish/hope/begging) on getting:

* 2 Miele Novatronic convection ovens (already own these)
* Bluestar 60" cooktop w/6 burners, griddle and grill
* Bluestar 24" Salamander
* Asko dishwasher (or Bosch or Miele - recommendations needed)
* Liebherr 48" SBS-26SO refrgierator
* Built in microwave (I have no idea which brand yet)

This is what's on order:

Electrolux 30" induction cooktop
Electrolux convection wall oven (designer series)
Leibherr (CS1650) 30" refrigerator
KitchenAid (KUDT03FTBL) dishwasher
Bosch HMV9305 Microwave

My Picks-

Capital 36" Range
Miele 30" Wall Oven
Miele 24" Speed Oven
Miele LaPerla DW
Northland 42"
Marvel 3BARE Bev/Wine

I have the following

GE Cafe Dual Fuel Range
GE Cafe microwave
GE Cafe Dishwasher
Samsung Quattro Refrigerator

I decided to go with mostly GE Cafe line because I liked the look quite a bit and got a great deal. I almost got the Bosch Integra dishwasher and I hope that I don't regret not getting it.

May as well join in as we're almost done:

Capital Precision 48" range with griddle
Thermador 42" fridge
VAH 48"
Sharp 30" micro drawer manual
Monogram fridge drawers
Kept our Kenmore Elite DW (Couldn't justify ditching it as it was less than 2 years old and does a pretty good job)

So far I'm really happy with everything!

DCS 36" gas cooktop w/ griddle
Dacor Millenia new style double wall ovens
Bosch dishwasher
Kenmore Elite front loading washer/dryers
GE Profile Artica refrigerator/freezer
Ge Profile warming drawer
Sharp convection microwave
Kenmore wine cooler

Still finishing up my kitchen, but this is what I have so far:

Viking Pro Counter Depth Side-by-side Refrigerator w/ thru door ice/water disp
Viking VGIC 36" 6-burner freestanding range w/ sealed burners
F&P Dishdrawers
Danby Wine cooler (would've loved a higher end but this was the only one I could find that would fit into a 20" space next to the refrigerator cabinet)

Still shopping for (and would appreciate suggestions):
24" true convection wall oven (prob. Miele or F&P)
36" Undercabinet Range Hood (prob. Viking)
Cheap countertop Micro
Countertop Coffee/espresso system (prob. Saeco)

My kitchen has been done about 2 years now and here's my list:

DW - Bosch SHX46 or 56.
Cooktop - Wolf drop-in. Love the lighted dials.
Hood - Gaggenau.
Oven - Bosch 700 series single.
Microwave - some sort of small Sharp oven.
Fridge - don't recall. Kept the old one. (Eyes on Liebherr 30" or the F&P flat door fridge if/when this one gives even a hint of trouble). Probably won't since only ~4 years old :-(

Man, I have changed my list many times over the past couple of months, but I settled on the following:

Range: GE Cafe Dual Fuel
Microwave: GE Cafe
Refrigerator: Samsung Quattro
Dishwasher: Kenmore Turbo HE
No hood :(

No more waffling, this is what I have decided. I can't wait to start using these appliances in 2 weeks...a much needed upgrade over my 20+ year old appliances.

Just finished my kitchen. Here were my final choices:

Miele Masterchef wall oven
Miele Masterchef convection MW
Miele warming drawer
AEG induction cooktop
Dacor downdraft vent
Dacor 42" side by side counter-depth fridge with external dispenser
Fisher & Paykel dishdrawers

Ordered my appliances after much deliberation, consideration, second guessing, and forum help.
Wolf 48" AG range w/4 burners and 22" griddle,island trim.

Best by Broan 48" hood w/ 1200 CFM blower and baffle filters (model #K260A48SS)

SubZero 601 36" all refrigerator (with panel overlay).

Scotsman 15" icemaker

GE Profile dishwasher PDW9700NII ( the GE Monogram I was looking at had the same specs as the Profile)

Ge Monogram 24" undercounter fridge ZIF1240PIILHD

All but my wolf 36" D/F and stainless backsplash were delivered last Tuesday. Wolf is in and will be delivered on Nov. 1st.

Jenn-air FD with pro handles
GE JEM31(I think it is a 31 or 21? microwave

I'm too lazy to get up and get my invoice

48" Bluestar Range w/6 burners and a grill (Love it)
Turbo Chef double wall ovens (Love it and use it the most)
Sharp Microwave Drawer (works great--love it)
Liebherr 48" with biofresh (very happy with this fridge)
2 Bosch dishwashers integrated with top rack only capabiltiy
(OK, these don't clean as well as my old Bosch)
Instant Hot (love it)
Prestige Hood 48" ( this is a very high quality hood)

GE Mongram w/convection oven - hate it, does not consistantly keep temp., irritating timer. Use to make a terrible noise like it was going to explode. Had to have a service guy come out several times to fix it. I'm afraid to use the self clean mode, it might actually explode!

GE Monogram microwave with convection - does not cook foods well, always undercooked. For the price I paid should yeild better results.

36" GE Mongram range w/4 burners and grill - okay but takes forever to heat up.

GE Monogram hood
GE Monogram diswasher w/ hidden controls - doesn't clean very well, end up having to rewash the plates and utensils sometimes even 3 times!

Jen-Air SS fridge - okay but I liked my Whirlpool gold one better. More room on the doors and shelves, what a let down.
I didn't have a choice with brands for appliances (builder was Toll bros.) I'm moving and I am looking at Wolf and Thermador (had a Thermador in my last house and LOVED it)
Would NOT recommend a GE product to ANYONE of anything they sell.

Diva 30" induction cooktop (love love love it)
Dacor telescopic downdraft vent (ditto)
Thermador 30" wall oven
Wolf 24" convection microwave with 30" trim kit

Liebherr 60" built-in fridge SBS-3210 panel front

Best PIK45 hood insert with PIK8 900 cfm blower motor and 48" liner

Many euros spent so far and we have not even started! Laundry can wait for now--still undecided--maybe Miele?? Needs to stack, and to balance reasonable compactness versus family-friendly capacity.

Thanks to the collective wisdom of the GW community for helping us choose wisely.

So far we are going with the:

Dacor cooktop PGM365-IS/NG
Miele Optima DW
Franke Double Fireclay sink
Ge Monogram convection Double Ovens ZET2PMSS or ZET2SMSS or
ZET2RMSS
Kitchen aid convection Double Ovens KEBU208SSS

Still deciding on:
Refrigerator; CD with ice and water in door
Microwave

If anyone has positive or negative things to say about any of these, I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

GE Monogram 30" induction cooktop (stainless)
GE Monogram ZET1SMSS single wall oven
Jenn-Air 36" counterdepth french door fridge
Kobe CX1830GS-8 30" glass hood
GE countertop microwave
Bosch dishwasher (previous purchase)
Wine fridge (previous purchase)

They're all absolutely outstanding, except that the hood is a little bit noisier than I expected.

mls99,, Is your MW actually on the counter or did you put it in a cabinet? Glad to hear you like these.

Does anyone have 2 single ovens, not a double oven configuration?

I put the MW in an oven cabinet above the oven, but it's not built in. I have cutting boards and cookie sheets vertically next to it.

Still interested in hearing what appliances people have, that they would or would not recommend. Thanks.

Miele Or Gagg Or Wolf Modular Cooktop (Induction & Gas)
New GE Profile Single/Double Wall Ovens
New GE Profile Advantium 240
New Liebherr 36" Integrated French Door Refrigerator w/Panels
Two 18" Bosch Integra Dishwashers w/panels
Brew Express Built-In Coffee Maker

I eliminated the KA Trash Compactor based on my readings here. With the exception of the coffee maker, all of my appliances have been chosen as a result of what I had read from this site.

Previous Choices:
Viking 36" DF Range, Viking 27" Wall Oven, Viking Microwave, Viking Warming Drawer, Bosch Integra 36" French Door Refrigerator w/Panels, KA Dishwasher Drawers w/Panels

It has been hard to give up the dream of the beautiful Viking appliances in Cotton White.

We have had them three months and I love them all!!

Dacor 30" single wall oven -- Does ANYONE have the "Preference" style oven and know of specific problems? I love the blue water finish that will go great in my new kitchen, otherwise probably Renaissance s/s
Viking 30" gas cooktop -- difficult decision and hoping repair problems common a few years ago are resolved
Advantium microwave stacked over oven
Vent-a-Hood under cabinet
Frigidaire dishwasher which I already have -- only disappointment is that it is a black finish and other appliances will be s/s
I don't need a new fridge right away but as soon as I do, I love the french door style with lower freezer and am convinced after reading in Gardenweb forums that Subzero is the way to go.
Would love some input!

I'm not remodeling, but this is my average appliances:
Kenmore gas range
Whirlpool sxs fridge
Kenmore micro
Kenmore compactor
ISE 777ss 1hp disposer
The dishwasher is another story. Replaced a Kenmore Ultra Wash dishwasher with a Maytag tall tub in 06. Cleaned great, but I couldn't stand 2+ hour wash times. Found a rebuilt Kitchen Aid from the 80s on Craigslist for $100. Sold the Maytag and now have a 20+ year old dishwasher that runs max 70 minutes on the longest cycle! Loud as hell, but I love it!

Amana French Door Bottom Freezer
Whirlpool Quiet Partner IV
Built in KitchAid Oven Micro, both Convection (never use that feature)
Jenn- Air electric Cooktop

I love this blog. I am getting ready to build a new home and need new appliances. I will not buy any of the brands I have now since they are Whirlpool. I posted a long blog about my Combo and DW related to Whirlpool. In a nutshell: Micro was made in 2002 and Magnatron has shot craps 3 TIMES. 1st time after only 1.5 years. Last time I had to pay $700 to fix it. Asked WP for reimbursement of at least parts cost-told too bad so sad. DW control panel went out after only 4 mos (just got it in April '08 at NE Furniture Mart). We wanted a new unit since this is a major thing to go out. Attitude of retailer and WP was the same- tough. We only use the DW twice a week. It is not that quiet either.

Love my Amana. Too bad it is WP also. It holds everything and stuff is easy to find. Black glass top Jenn-Air is impossible to keep clean. STREAKY!!! Have to clean and clean and clean. Also, if anything splatters on it that is high in sugar THE GLASS MELTS. It leaves a big crater. Dials are placed in front corners at an angle and big pans can touch and melt them. Love the down draft fan. Very powerful.

Thanks to all who listed their brands here. I got a great list to look into for the new place.

Wolf 36" Rangetop with Charbroiler
Wolf Double Wall Ovens
Best by Broan Hood and In-Line Blower
Sub Zero 48 Refrigerator/Freezer
Kitchen Aid Warming Drawer
GE 240V Advantium

All in use now for about 4 months:

Wall Ovens: GE Profile 30" DO w/Trivection (JT980SKSS)
Dishwasher: KA Architect® Series II (KUDS03STSS)
Microwave: Sharp MW Drawer Oven (KB-6025MS)
Warming Drawer: GE Profile 30" WD (PTD915SMSS)
Vent Hood: Vent-A-Hood® (SEPH18-242)
Cooktop: GE Profile 36" Electric Cooktop (PP962SMSS)

New construction - appliances in but we won't be until late October so I cannot comment on performance:
Subzero BI-48 (psyched for this new line/model)
Wolf 6 burner + grill cook top (friends love theirs)
Wolf hood + blower (if I'm going to grill indoors hoping they know how to get rid of the odor)
Monogram ZET2 double oven (my criteria were: quick warm up, quiet fan, solid performance and appearance)
Thermadore warming drawer (recommended by kitchen designer)
2 Miele Excel dishwashers (due to this forum)
Wolf Microwave (didn't have time to research, got a very deal on it so took it)

Granted, it's a bit of a mix of brands, but all have professional line appearance so it seems to work well. Will add more after a couple months of use.

Sub Zero BI 36 all fridge and all freezer
Wolf 48" dual fuel range with 6 burners and griddle
Miele Optima DW
Wolf MW
Independent 1200 CFM hood liner and blower

Stumbled upon this old thread via google search...found it really interesting...bumping it up in hopes of any of the MANY posters from '06-'08 can give their 2-4 yr. Follow up.

Would also like to see the 2010 people revive this thread to compare/ contrast those decisions " back then" vs now

Hope this takes off the way the original OP got it going!!

guess this bump up didn't take off, would be interesting to see reviews of tried, tested and remaining true appliances. we'll give it another try!

Bump

I'm in. Next week I will get

Bosch 800 double ovens
Bosch 500 30' induction cooktop
Bosch 500 otr microwave
LG 25 c.f. 34.1/4deep french door fridge
Elux refrigerator drawers
KA fancy dishwasher

And the second microwave in about a month. Panasonic inverter to fit in a shelf.

Two fridges, two microwaves, double ovens and likely a Breville smart oven. All in a 10x18 kitchen. No art, no decor, all business, except for a flat screen tv and a laptop cubby. Very happy.

Viking dual fuel range: LOVE it!

Viking cabinet depth bottom mount refrigerator: no complaints.

Zephyr vent hood (Typhoon series): It performs great. It is not too loud and removes steam and odors well. However, I have had trouble with contoller board twice in the 2 years I've had it. The first time it was under full warranty; the second time, it was a parts-only warranty.

Sharp Grill 2 convection/microwave: Very pleased. It is probably more versatile than I know. Need to read the instruction book.

Magic Chef wine chiller: Two zones. Does what it is designed to do.

Admiral dishwasher: This was purchased a couple of years before our kitchen remodel. The old one croaked and I needed something to tide me over until the remodel. The one I bought was an on-sale floor model at HD. When it came time to buy a new one, I didn't. Although this is an extremely cheap DW, it does the job and does it well, albeit loudly. I understand they are no longer manufactured.
