Kitchen Aid Architect Series for everything
Comments (9)I am going to chime in on this one as I was looking into what other folks had to say about recent Kitchenaid products. I have purchased a wall oven, a wall microwave, 48" side by side fridge and a 36" gas stove top. These appliances have been in service since Nov 2010. While the Kitchenaid Canada's service line is adequate, their products are not in relation to the price paid. The stove top has had problems of ignition from day 1 with the two most powerful burners.(Left and right front) Service has replaced, ignitors, a valve and the piece that has the holes for the gas. While this has fixed one, it has not fixed the other. In my mind, if you turn on the knob to "lite", darn it, it should lite but it does not until you play with the knob til it works or I just take a lighter to it. The most inconvenient episode was just this past weekend when the fridge stopped working. I knew something was up, when I started to hear funny beeping sounds for over a week and sure enough, the fridge died. The tech came this morning, and said that the fan compressor was defective, which then shorted out the logic board. He said this shouldn't happen at all. Thus, I have to agree with antss on the comment of "lots of sizzle and no steak"...See MoreKitchen-Aid Architect II vs Jenn-Air Pro Style

Comments (12)I would never buy another KitchenAid anything. I bought an Architect series DW several years ago. Couldn't stand it. It was a pain to load, things tipped over. It did clean adequately. I got EXPO to take it back and bought my Bosch, LOVED IT. Sold that house a year ago and in the remodel we are currently doing in our "new" Victorian house, we just put in our second Bosch. Both of mine were the top of the line hidden-control type. My double KA convection ovens. Didn't like them because they kept overbrowning things on the top because of how they were designed to have both elements on at certain times. I know it's that's not compelling; but it was five years ago and i can't recall the details. I also had the 50 lb icemaker which broke so many times under warranty that they extended the warranty for a couple of years for us. What a pain....See MoreKitchen Aid or GE Profile appliance opinions needed
Comments (26)We have the KA CD 25 sq ft. side by side ref. It has performed very well except that the icemaker periodically will stop working. The fill tube that comes from the top of the freezer will freeze up, stopping the flow of water. I give it a squeeze with the pliers (it is a rubber tube) and it starts working again. Have had 2 service calls for this problem in 2 years. Too many for a $2100.00 ref. Other that that it is fine. Maintains temp fine, shelf space is great, etc. We have GE monogram rangetop and oven. It looks like the burners on the GE Cafe line are similar to the monogram burners, but the output on the Cafe line is less. I don't know about profile. A couple of the profile ovens seem to have the same specs as Monogram, but cost less. Or at least that was the case 2 years ago when I built the house. My opinion is that either brand will be fine. Buy the specs and the style you like and enjoy....See Moresusanlynn2012
