Please Help Me Choose a Range from this List
Comments (4)Yes, I know about the radiant sticking but I have had a ceramic stovetop for the past 30 years and I've learned to live with it and clean it. I don't want dual fuel as it would require putting in gas in an all electric home. DH says no and I haven't cooked on gas since I was about 12 years old. Does anyone have the GE Cafe radiant or Electrolux radiant and give me some feedback?...See MorePlease help me choose a range hood. I need to order cabinets!
Comments (1)We bought the Broan Elite 2 years ago and are happy with it. Performance is great, it's easy to clean. On high speeds it is very loud, but we don't run it that way very often. I usually use it on the lowest speed, and I find the level of noise manageable. For the price, it was a good choice for us....See MorePlease Help me Choose a Pro Range - Bluestar, NXR, Verona
Comments (22)Great point - Thanks so much for that idea- i will need to check and see if the item could be returned locally (in the worst case scenario like it being a total dud). I will call the local Costco and inquire - I wonder if they have ever addressed this before. I did review the written warranty from Bluestar and it says something to the effect: "warranty valid for all items purchased in US or Canada. It is looking like difference it will be the same range (RCS model) and after tax, etc would be approx $450 more to buy in the states. Not a huge amount but enough to make a difference and have me consider Canadian option (assuming it goes easily and relatively pain free). I will keep checking but have to pull the trigger eventually ... Don't want to be one of those who come back in 2 years saying "ok, I'm almost ready to buy" ...lol I did look on ebay and found 1 or 2 BS ranges. For anyone else thinking of doing this, beware of a company hawking BS ranges under the name if Markdown Madness - check some if their reviews on Merchant Circle. There is a similar outfit in my area (somehow associated with this Markdown Madness outfit) and they seem shady to say the least. 1 thing I think these shady ebay sellers do is sell a ton of simple items (shoes, lunch boxes, whatever) to overcome any negatives they may have selling high ticket scratch and dent items. At least that is the only way I can imagine a company maintaining a good ebay rating while having an "F" rating at the BBB and terrible reviews online (like Markdown Madness). In other words, if you are buying a "new" or "floor sample" item from ebay or craigslist, make sure you are buying from an actual dealer or personal seller and not from some guys using a storage garage to sell potentially non-warrantied items. Good luck getting any money back from people like this no matter what assurances they give you. Not saying you can't find a deal this way but you have to ask yourself if you have the capacity to deal with a total lemon (financially and emotionally). Unfortunately people looking for deals usually can't afford to buy another appliance if the "deal" goes bad. If it seems to good to be true - it probably is....See MoreDesperate for Help Choosing Induction Range!!
Comments (29)Overall I am quite happy with the Bosch induction range. I must admit that I got it in the spring and during the summer I try to grill out as often as I can so I don't have a ton of use on it yet. At first I really didn't care for the touch controls. Overtime after getting used to them they aren't too bad and they do offer some positives. - It is more tedious to adjust the burner setting with push buttons and this was kind of a pain at first because I wasn't familiar with the setting numbers so I was hunting around for the right temp a lot. After learning where I need to cook things I don't adjust them as often. - When you press the on/off button it will turn off all of the burners. Nice when you are all done cooking, but it was a pain to push the temp setting button multiple times to get to 0 to turn off just one hob. Now I just remove the pan for the hob and allow it to automatically shut off if I am still using another burner. The hobs don't get hot unless you put a pan on them. - With little kids I really like the fact that I can lock both the oven and stove top controls so the kids can't turn them on. Our 18 month old tends to do that type of stuff right now. The oven seems to work well. it is my first convection and it is a nice sized oven....See MoreDaina L
