For dishwashers, Miele is generally considered to be "top of the line". We couldn't justify the price, so we went with an 800 series Bosch and have been very happy with it. It cleans very very well, and its very quiet. You should take some of your own dishes and silverware to the appliance store to see which machine they fit in better.

Pretty sure, Miele is not an expert in range hood seeing they don't know 3 inch more on all open sides rule. :-) I guess they don't have 27 inch depth either. Find a 42 for the 36 range if you think 48 is too wide.

AVOID MIELE RANGES. UNRELIABLE UNITS. TERRIBLE SERVICE. We've had Miele dishwashers for literally decades; they have been great, trouble-free performers. Not so the 36" gas range that we bought for a kitchen reno in 2016. The design is nice and the basic functionality is great, but the reliability is the absolute pits. MIele released this line of products before they were ready for prime time. And Miele knows it. We have had burners replaced several times for ignition failures. Last time around the technician replaced all six burners with "upgrades" (I'm guessing, redesigns that cure the faults of the original burners). The little part that detects when the oven door is closed and shuts off the broiler if it's open? It melted when the (extremely hot) broiler was on for more than a few minutes. The rubber feet for the grates constantly disintegrate; we've gone through literally a dozen of them. And now that our unit is out of warranty, Miele wants $32 each for replacements (and there are no aftermarket parts available anywhere). The latest problem is the oven door latch mechanism, which has failed so that the unit will not go into self-clean mode. Making matters worse, Miele's service operation was gutted during the pandemic and has not recovered. Their call center is offshore somewhere, and the people are clueless about the products. As for the technician dispatch in NJ ... don't get me started. Totally dysfunctional. The techs themselves are highly competent ... when you can actually get someone to come. Constant scheduling screwups, technicians not being told what parts to bring, several week lead times, etc. Their service is beyond unacceptable for a premium-priced brand. And we have yet to find a third-party repair service that will work on Miele ranges (dishwashers yes, ranges no). I'm sorely tempted to throw the thing out and go with Blue Star or Wolf. AVOID.

Start with a mental image of a commercial hood. It will be the most efficient means of capturing and containing cooking plumes that will be rising and expanding from the pan surfaces. Now start modifying the image toward simple residential hoods. Each stage of modification means giving something up, whether it is power efficiency (maybe not important), containment efficiency, or capture efficiency. (Flame barrier will probably be OK with almost any design.) The best one can do with a residential style hood (fits under an eight-foot ceiling) is overlap the cooking zone by enough, use baffles with some volume below them, have enough CFM, have enough make-up air to achieve the CFM.
