You need to go to a good appliance shop and figure what you need for how you cook. No one can tell you that. I agree Bosch is still IMO the best choice for DW. I can tell you what I have but that in no way will help you.I have a Bertazzoni 6 burner all gas range with a wok burner. Double all electric KA full sized wall ovens , a Bosch DW with quick cycle, all fridge/ all freezer with built in kit from Fridgedaire a stand alone MW . I like some things baked in a gas oven I run a small catering biz from my home so the reason for the fridge and freezer I cook a lot of Asian food hence the wok burner My kitchen is designed for more than one cook to use at the same time. I design kitchens for clients and it takes some work to figure out what appliances they need and where they should go.If I can give you some advice it would be find a good KD who really understands all the workings of appliances not just the latest ones that might not work for you

Do you like the Fridgedaire? I have not heard much about them, I would like all fridge/all freezer.

Patricia Colwell Consulting, how does the Bertazzoni hold up? Does it meet all of your expectations? Are there any problems with it? We are considering this range for our new home.

I love my Bert.Mine is 11 yrsold and did not at that time have a self clean oven but I am used to working with commercial ranges in restaurants that never have them.I have to admit about 1/2 of the decision was based on looks but I have learned to love it totally. My fridgeadair all freezer all fridge is also 11 yrs old never had a problem and the new ones I think are from Electrolux and much better layout inside mine were trully commercial . This is a pic of my Bert 11 yrs later , I love that I can take all the top fittings and put them in my DW it is really easy to keep looking new

Now that's what I am looking for. Thank you!

I'm happy with my GE Range....and on sale until 6/6/2018 for $1899

how long have you had it? I am completing a redo in kitchen. I was hoping to decide on my appliances today or tomorrow... as this has been a long endeavor!!! HOw long have you had your range? I was considering doing all GE appliances but I am now hesitant because some reviews not the greatest. HELP!! The more I read, the more confused I am.

LOL! I liked LG too and it was also one of my leading faves for awhile because of some of the good reviews.But then, as I did more research, I read some reviews that were warning not to buy, because of the bad customer service etc... (difficultly get service)The kitchen aide had good reviews which was another one I was considering but I am not sure if I want those handles on the my appliances. Not that I don't like them it's just that my kitchen is more traditional.

I really hope I find some good replies so I can get this thing done! it's been going on for months. Please, someone...STOP THE INSANITY! I'm beggin'

Well, we ended up going with the Bosch 800 series dishwasher, GE Cafe dual-fuel range, single wall oven, and fridge. I was going to go with a different brand for fridge, but ended up liking the features on the GE Cafe especially hot water dispenser! We still have to wait for install another month or 2, so I will follow up when we get them.

I think you did well. We love our Bosch 800 DW and GE range/oven. We have a Whirlpool fridge which is only OK. Definitely follow up with feedback after some use--we'd all love to know.

Bosch 800 dual fuel range is nice. I have it. Though next time I think I will go induction.

do they offer fingerprint resistant?

How about the frigidaire professional series?

We have a GE Cafe Dual Fuel range that we love. It's 5 years old and going strong. Even stood in 18" of water for two days of flooding and still works well!.

We are on our third house and third kitchen with all kitchen aid appliances. The reviews for appliances are scary so we purchased the extended warranties this time. Seems like appliances are not being made to last.

@friedajune I forget which one we decided on. We are having it built into our cabinetry.

Curious, why did you choose a dual fuel range over all gas? What is your use for the second oven (and now you'll have two electric ovens instead of one gas and one electric)? Does one of your ovens have some sort of moisture or steam system? Will you have a MW somewhere?

jn3344- Are you happy with your Bosch? Just as I make a decision, I find some other complaint and then spin my wheels for another month, the most recent complaint being that water never boils on the stovetop. I'm about to lose it. I've been considering one of the Bosch models, either the 800 or the Benchmark because of the gliding rack, soft close door & temperature probe. Also, need to decide between all gas and dual fuel. I cook a lot, but I bake, too. Thanks in advance! :)

Marcy, On this thread there is some discussion of the difference between a gas and electric oven. I wrote toward the bottom things that people comment on. Some people say they don't notice any difference. What do you have know? Do you bake from scratch? Do you use convection?

wekick, (pardon the therapy session, lol)

I've read so much that I'm cross-eyed and considering an RV and making a run for it! ;) Thank you for referring me to that thread, the detailed information about gas vs electric/moist vs dry really helped.

Maybe in my future dream kitchen, I'll have enough money for one of those beauties, but alas...one kid just graduated from high school and one is still in middle school.

I bake from scratch, sometimes larger format cakes for friend's occasions, but it's been a while because I'm still stuck in a temporary home until the reno is done and have a 25 y/o coil electric range you can barely scramble eggs on.

You were one of the first people I saw that had recently gotten one of the Bosch models I was considering, most of the other comments were at least a few years old and changes have been made.

I had more room in my last house, so I had a 36" gas cooktop and electric convection wall oven. It wasn't high end or even 'true convection', so my experience isn't really relevant but when baking cakes I had to turn off the convection or my layers would not rise evenly. They would peak on one side. No amount of pan rotation changed it, so I just used the oven w/o convection.

The 'new' house only has space for a 30' range and no place to put wall ovens, so I have to come up with a unit that I will be happy cooking on multiple times a day that has a good oven for baking, also. Problem is that the only ranges I've found that fit the bill are over my price point, about $3K. That leaves out the coveted BlueStar or Thermador burners and infrared broilers, I could go on, but why bother.

I've been looking forward to having a gas oven again for roasting, broiling, etc...but keep hearing about lower end gas ovens not heating properly, not maintaining precise temps, etc...I was hoping to avoid all the electronics near the high BTU burners because that's what fries first, but all the less expensive units have them. Ugh. Help.

@opaone I prefer baking with an electric oven, I have noticed more even heating and consistent temperature. I like to host parties and holidays and the second oven is a necessity. Eventually I would love to have a 2nd range in our outdoor kitchen, but my husband thinks it is overkill. I am opposed to microwaves. That is why I ended up not going with a built in. I will probably end up with a stand alone one in the pantry.

Marcy, I don't have a Bosch. My DIL does have an all gas Bosch. I bake all the cakes though. ;-)). She likes it when she uses it.

True or Euro convection just means there's a third element. It is over hyped and in some ovens it just creates more hot spots because you have intense heat with a fan which can have a blowtorch effect. Some of the most expensive brands of ovens don't seem to get it right. I don't use convection on cakes at least until the rise is complete, then I might just for browning. There can be a huge difference in convection from brand to brand because fan speeds vary or you have different speeds on different modes, some reverse direction and some have baffles.

wekick, Sorry, I thought one of your earliest posts mentioned the Bosch! What oven do you use when you bake all the cakes? ;-)

Does the MIL like the gas cooktop? Is it the 800 or the Benchmark?
