Need Advice on Maytag/Whirlpool/KitchenAid appliances
Comments (1)Whirlpool's best DW lines are Whirlpool Gold and Kitchenaid. We have the KA KUDS30IVSS since Oct 2009 and are very happy with it. I did a review on it here which you should be able to find by doing a search on the model #. BTW, my own practice is to buy extended warranties on anything that involves heat and steam. We've been burned on our gas range by circuit board replacements that have totaled almost the cost of a new stove. Appliances aren't made to last 20 yrs any longer. There are many here who argue against extended warranties, but on certain appliances I think it makes good sense. That's a great discount and I hope others will chime in to help you with the individual appliance choices....See MoreWhirlpool, Maytag or Kitchenaid oven? They all seem the same!
Comments (2)The upper Kitchenaid microwave oven should have the convection and/or steam cooking option. Plus the microwave can brown and crisp foods. Bottom line this gives you 2 convection ovens. I use my upper convection microwave often for small casseroles, pizzas instead of heating up the large oven. Both ovens work really well. The controls and elements have 5 year warranty.

Comments (10)Hi, I purchased the Maytag Epic in the beginning of December, 2006 and I have been extremely pleased with it. I have no personal experience with the Duet so I canÂt give you any comparisons. I also canÂt say anything about the reliability of the Epic, as I donÂt have it all that long (barely two months). As far as I know, the Epic is really a rebranded KitchenAid Ensemble and is in no way related to the Maytag Neptunes which had so many problems, and I understand the Ensemble has a good history. I read somewhere that Whirlpool bought both Maytag and KitchenAid and wants to re-establish the Maytag name by putting it on a proven machine (the Epic/formerly Ensemble). I must say I have the cleanest laundry ever! I even washed some of my husbandÂs work clothes that have been in the closet "forever" because they looked so bad I wouldnÂt give them to him to wear. I thought with stains and soil that old that wouldnÂt come out with my previous washer, it was hopeless. Well, they are now useable once more! Now DH is eager to present me with some challenges (really dirty clothes) and the Epic has not failed me once. It is very difficult to get him interested in something like a washing machine, but he is amazed at this one. I also find the Epic to be very quiet (my cat loves to sleep on it when itÂs running) and there is barely any vibration. I do have it in the basement on a concrete floor with no pedestal. There are no signs of mold (it smells fresh and clean and I have a good nose) but I do wipe the gasket dry when IÂm done using it and leave the door open. I also regularly do hot washes and use chlorine bleach occasionally. It is extremely easy to use, you could say "intuitive". This is my first FL (wanted one "forever" but my old TL was determined to last 14 years before it gave out) and, right now, I wouldnÂt hesitate to buy another. I actually enjoy doing laundry (never thought I would say that) and am always looking for another load of dirty clothes! I hope you find these comments helpful. Good luck with your washer, whichever one you choose!...See MoreMiele compact washer vs Maytag, Whirlpool
Comments (1)Well the Miele is ~ 23.5 x 21.5 x 34 (W x D x H, inches). If that's your approximate size limit then there is also the Bosch Axxis @ ~ 25.5 x 24.75 x 31.5. It is a 220v unit, but if you're getting their dryer too I believe it can plug into the back of it, so no rewiring is required. If you can go with a more "normal" size you could even get a Speed Queen front loader (27 x 28 x 41.5) or one of several other brands for perhaps less than some of the compact units run. Do you plan on stacking the units?...See MoreJakvis
