No single manufacturer makes the best appliances of all types. Choose the best appliance that each manufacturer offers. Don't limit yourself to one manufacturer.

Dacor is a Samsung brand and some similar appliances are offered under both brands. For example, the following induction cooktops are equivalent (the Samsung is actually better as it has the "virtual flame").

• Samsung NZ30K7880US ($1545)
• Dacor DTI30P876BB ($2500)

Appliance eventually will,need service. Remember to research your options in your area. I’ve seen many comments (not good about appliance service issues).
