I just wanted to clarify on my previous posts about my experiences with Dacor that the oven was model EO130. Sometimes you see SCH added on the end. Go online and read and reread the use and care manual you will learn alot about how the oven is supposed to work. If you do get the Dacor ovens or any oven for that matter put it through it's paces. Get an independent thermometer and be aggressive up front if things are not right. Document everything. You will have no idea what version of computer boards you have depending how long the oven has been stored by the distributor or manufacturer. My first clue was it took 30 minutes longer to bake potatoes. At first I couldn't believe that my oven didn't work. I was shocked when I got a thermometer. As sshrivastava said I would also go over it with a flashlight and make sure there are no imperfections in the enamel. Also pay close attention to the alignment of the doors. Bake a batch of cookies and maybe a couple of frozen pizzas on convection bake and see if the oven bakes evenly and maintains temp. Try raising the temp by 25 degrees and see how long it takes to respond. I would also buy an extended warranty from the manufacturer for as long a term as they have. The boards were listed on my bill as costing $1400.00 to replace if not under warranty. Another friend has a Dacor oven, not the Discovery model, and her board went out after a couple years and her husband bought one on ebay and fixed it, believe it or not for $35.00. Not everyone can do that though. I think service must vary greatly depending on who you deal with at the company and where you live. At least Dacor stood by their product and gave me my money back which is more than you can say for some. I wish you luck and maybe Dacor has their problems behind them. It is a very beautiful oven with the underglass elements. I was in love with it myself once!

Jacobse - it might have been me posting about Invisible Shield (that Meg711 mentioned). However, I likely posted about it in the context of people asking how to protect their glass shower doors from spots. It is my pet peeve when people recommend RainX for that task. RainX is for car windshields and for outside use. It outgasses, and shouldn't be sprayed in an enclosed space. Anyway, the company, Unelko, which invented RainX (which they subsequently sold to another company) invented Invisible Shield. Still, I am not sure whether you should spray Invisible Shield on your faucet, as you will likely be drinking out of it. Not sure if that's a good idea. Well, here's the link. Here is a link that might be useful: Unelko's Invisible Shield

Don't think that I'm sitting here plotting here revenge. When I say "she'll get hers" I'm just expressing my belief that the universe will move in such a way that she will get punished one day for all her bad acts. Yeah, I guess it is a negative thought but, given what she's done, and that she continues to walk around with a clean conscience, I think it's okay to be negative for a little while longer. I'm still amazed that she's managed to snow everyone for so long, and that someone can behave this way. As for the new purchase, DH and I have decided that quick and dirty is the way to go right now. Then, depending on how the economy goes, we'll re-visit our outside area again next year. But I'll try to post once we get something.

Funny you should mention the warranty, Squirrel. I'm not thrilled that there is no warranty but, as you say, even if they did agree to warrant their product, the warranty would only be as good as the company--which means it's pretty worthless. I think that there's very little chance that the company will be able to make the furniture the right way so I think we're going to go ahead with the replacements but only after we agree on certain things in writing. I want to be the person to determine whether it's of comparable quality, etc. So I'm working on that email with the last paragraph clarifying that we're not being billed for additional shipping or for other things like the time taken to resolve this. Recognize that language?
