Comments (8)That's a great promotion. So what other Bosch items are you purchasing? I'm getting the Bosch 800 36" induction cooktop and the Bosch 500 convection oven. I had a Bosch 800 Electric cooktop and a Bosch 800 convection oven in my old condo and both worked very well (well as good as can be expected for electric). However I realized most of my cooking is done on the cooktop and I don't use the oven often enough to justify going up to the 800 oven again. sjhockeyfan, our only reason for needing a decent sized freezer space is for the dog. LOL. She eats RAW so we have her "mush" (what looks like raw meatloaf and actually has a combo of ingredients in it) and then her chicken backs. Yes raw chicken backs. All organized in the freezer. Then if there's any room left over, we might have a container of ice cream or some rolls, etc. LOL Additionally to round out our appliance choices I'm going with the Miele G 6365 SCVi AM DW, and the new Sharp MW drawer. The hood will be aZephyr Monsoon insert, 600 cfm....See MoreThermador 36 in Pro Grand vs Blue Star 36 in RNB range?
Comments (2)I've had my Bluestar 36RNB since Jan. 2013, could not be happier! Best stove I've ever owned or cooked on. None of the issues you have mentioned. It replaced a Thermodor I had for for 27 years, nothing wrong with it either, but the Bluestar performs circles around it......See More36 inch Dacor Fridge Column vs 36 inch Thermador
Comments (8)We noticed the depth of the dacor was deeper too but keep in mind that that the thermador door bins are much bigger as well. The dacor door bins were very thin, i don't even think a half gallon milk would fit. They probably have similar space, just differently utilized. With pizza's i usually just separate them and wrap each with aluminum foil to save space. I can't say i made the right decision since i won't get the thermador until April (my kitchen is being renovated). I forgot to mention I also didn't like where the meat/vegetable/fruit bins handles were on the dacor. They were on the bottom whereas the thermador's were on the top. I love Dacor's hidden controls, kind of like the Miele. The thermadors was OK but not as fancy. Dacor might have a better food preservation system/filter. Stainless steel might keep the food a bit colder but not sure. Another plus for me is that the Thermador HQ is 15 min. from where i live so I should be able to get faster service if i have problems. I don't think you'll regret it since thermador has been around for a while. Dacor has not been a reliable brand but since the takeover from Samsung no one really knows...should be better though....See MoreThermador 36" rangetop with Thermador 36" downdraft
Comments (11)Let me try this again! :) Seems the website has issues occasionally. Others on this site were so helpful to me in my planning that I'm happy to pay it forward. We also removed the wall between our kitchen and dining room. I'll start by saying we spent a lot of time researching appliances before our remodel but focused primarily on Thermador/Wolf/Miele. A steam oven became a top priority for me and built in coffee for my husband. Luckily we were able to spend a good amount of time in showrooms, cooking instructions, etc to really play around with the appliances before purchasing. Cost was of consideration, but it wasn't the deciding factor. Thermador had both the largest steam oven (and I wanted a double oven) and a plumbed coffee maker. (That is were Wolf lost us) Additionally, the size of their appliances fit well within our layout. (Miele SO is 24" wide). The package deal made it worth while to go entirely Thermador. We've been using our kitchen for a little over 6 months now and are very happy. (Only thing I am so so one is the microdrawer. Not because of performance, but I personally prefer my microwave to be higher, but that didn't work in our layout so it got stuck in the island.) Re induction - this is my first time having an induction cooktop and I don't think I'll ever go back to gas. I got it because I have two young children and it is safer when cooking with them. The performance is surprisingly amazing (highs and lows) and clean up is a breeze! I chose the Thermador Liberty after playing around with the Freedom and not caring as much for the controls on that model. As part of the package, the downdraft and blower were included - but if not part of the package they are sold seperately. I highly encourage you to check induction out if you are not a die hard gas fan and you're doing downdraft. Make sure to read the specs because some have more output than others. (I think our model is fairly equivolent to the Bosch Benchmark induction. If you don't go the Thermador package route, check that out as it is cheaper.) Our counters are Maldives quartzite. Love them - family friendly. Make sure to test your quartzite if possible before purchasing to make sure it won't stain or etch ( issues noted on this site with marble or dolomite being mislabeled taught me that). Cost was more than quartz, but well worth the splurge for the bookmatched slabs and natural beauty! You didn't ask - but including a pic of our beverage center. If you are doing the Thermador package you mind as well go all out! :) I would say if you do coffee - make sure it is plumbed, otherwise too much work IMO. Good luck!...See MoreHome Home
