What type of camera do you use? Would you recommend it to others?
Comments (5)Don't have a digital camera, so can't help you there. I can tell you that if you're looking for a 35 mm point and shoot, you get what you pay for when you buy the cheap cameras. To get anything that lasts you're best off in the $100-200 range. Stay away from Vivitar. Consumer reports recommends the Olympus LT-Zoom 105, the Minolta Freedom Zoom Orion, the Canon Sure Short 105 zoom, or if you don't need as much zoom, the Canon Sure Shot 85 zoom is cheaper and just as good. I have an Olympus and it's been a great camera. Recommendations for digital cameras were the Olympus Camedia c-2020 zoom, the c-3030 zomm, and the Nokon Coolpix 800. Some less expensive choices were the Fujifilm FinePix 1400 zoom and the Kodak DC215 zoom....See MoreWould You Recommend Your Mid Priced Range?
Comments (9)Here you go amck: "Hi eeds, Thank you for considering Dacor among your appliance choices. In terms of consumer sites and other customers with problems - as with most products and services - there tends to be a disproportionate amount of negative postings on-line. That is true of the appliance industry and most industries involved in a business to consumer model. That is not to say there is not valid information posted, however, the postings alone do not provide the ratio for the total volume of any given product or service sold versus the number of failures. Nevertheless, we like to think that one issue with a product or service for one of our customers is one too many, which is why we always recommend that our customers contact us directly regarding any concerns they may have. Our current 3 For Free Promotion was created to help our customers in providing them with added value, in today's economy. We have been in business making very fine cooking appliances for over 45 years and our current appliances are amongst the best we've ever built. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Mon-Fri. 6:00-5:00 PST at 800-793-0093 ext. 2126. We can also be reached via email at customersatisfaction@dacor.com. Thank you, Dacor Customer Service" Here is a link that might be useful: Link...See MoreLacanche owners - are two ovens enough or would you recommend three?
Comments (19)sornbarry - After speaking with our local SZ repair guy, he suggested that we spring for the new unit, as apparently it's not the parts on the old SZs but the box itself that begins to deteriorate around the 25+ year mark. Not to mention that the cabinets for our older model would be completely different from the cabinets used to create the integrated look and there'd be no way to retrofit the unit once it died. <Sigh> Not that we were looking to spend the extra cash, but I am a strong believer in doing things right the first time (especially seeing as we have no plans to move anytime soon). You're right about the Superba, and I've only recently discovered its convection properties, which I love. The Superba also got us out of quite the jam last Christmas when the Dacor straight up stopped working partway through cooking our prime rib roast, and it was the Superba that picked up the slack. Most of the negative reviews I've read about the Superba have to do with self-cleaning mode, which I don't like using in ovens anyways. Needless to say, I think we're okay having it stick around a while longer - it's certainly a lot easier to change out than a Sub Zero! Thanks again for all of your thoughts and comments. I really appreciate being able to bounce ideas off of someone who has been in such a remarkably similar situation as my own!...See MoreWhich 30" gas range would you recommend near the ocean?
Comments (2)We live in the Pacific Northwest and are about 100’ from salt water. All of our appliances are stainless steel and have never had any problems. Like you I wondered about that when we built 18 years ago. Many of my friends who live nearby also have stainless with no problems. I think maybe that homes are so much tighter these days that it’s not the problem it once was. That being said my brother who has homes in the Bahamas gave up on stainless. Even his white appliances are rusting. Maybe it’s the high humidity there. Best of luck to you....See MoreRita / Bring Back Sophie 4 Real
