Oven choices-- Fisher Paykel, Monogram or Bosch?
Comments (13)If you read the first posting by the person who reported recent problems with her Monogram ovens (her first posting trashed Eurostoves for various appliance difficulties), not everyone ended up on her side about it. She definitely has had appliance issues with multiple mfgs, no question about that, but she comes off as a very impatient, demanding, customer. Admittedly she spent many thousands of $$$ on her kitchen appliances, so it's understandable she was upset. I'd be more concerned that she needed service on both Monogram ovens, not about the response of Monogram per se. F&P is a great company, but don't kid yourself that they get repairs done any faster than anyone else - they're just more pleasant about it. It took me over six weeks and 4 visits to get a single part replaced on my F&P dryer. Service is the weak point in almost all companies. F&P and Monogram, along with a few others, at least pay some attention to this issue. Other companies, such as LG, all the Siemens companies, Viking, are infamous for being unhelpful even to dealers. It's a big reason why one needs to be careful about who to buy from, not just what brand and how much. You want to look at the overall number of responses on a brand, and weigh good vs bad experiences on a percentage basis. Any company is going to make some lemons, that's a given with mfg. It's how the dealer and mfg treat you afterwards that can make you either a satisfied or dissatisfied customer. The odds are higher you'll be satisfied with certain companies, but like Lincoln said, you can't please all the people all the time. If there was a company that could - we'd ALL be buying from them, LOL!...See MoreHow does Fisher Paykel Refrigerator match other appliances?
Comments (13)the bosch s/s is very close and looks good next to f&p s/s and bosch double ovens are very nice two they are both euro convection ovens i have 5 of them in hte obsolete 700 series too and the hole has to be like 28 inches wide openening in the cabinet not over 30 ...so if you want doubles they are very nice priced too or if you decide to ge with single great price as well ...both should fit in generic opening they all vary a bit in size but all cover about the same size holes...not all will fit though but most should .... below is a link to installation instructions for bosch and on page 7 it tells you what size hole it needs to be hope i was of some help TYSEN Here is a link that might be useful: link to bosch single and double range installation instructions...See MoreGas Cooktop - Fisher & Paykel or Bosch?
Comments (4)My wife and I like the power of the center work burner most of all. I also like the simplicity of it and how easy it is to break down all the parts and clean the unit. We have only had the cooktop installed for a couple of months and have not used the grill/griddle plate that comes with the unit nor have we used the simmer burner on it's lowest setting. I know a lot of people discuss low simmer settings on this forum but it is not important to us so I really can't comment on that....See MoreFisher & Paykel 36" freestanding refrigerator experiences?
Comments (6)We purchased the Fisher Paykel French door counter depth with water dispenser last year. We have always gotten side by sides with water/ice dispensers, but decided to go with a French door. We decided on FP based on the recommendation of the owner of the appliance store. It was pretty evident that the French door refrigerators with ice dispensers had significant issues. He has had good luck with the FP; it was a bonus having the water dispenser on the door. We bought it sight-unseen, as it was for a shore property, and we weren't there at the time. I was leery of going with FP, as we had huge headaches with Dishdrawers that we had in the past, but I was reassured that he hadn't seen any issues with the refrigerators. So far, no issues. Complaints: 1) the ice maker is pretty skimpy, not cranking out cubes even when set on Ice Boost. 2) the slide-out bins in the fridge are split in half, but are in a single drawer, so both the fridge doors have to be open to pull the drawers out....See Morescottie mom
