Looking at this Dacor single 30" wall oven at our local appliance store. but can't seem to find any reviews. Anyone familiar with this 30" wall oven want to weigh in? Any other wall ovens in the 1500-2k ballpark we should look at instead? Thanks! http://www.dacor.com/Our-Products/Wall-Ovens-Single/Distinctive-Single-Wall-Oven.aspx

@posskat, glad to hear that you are happy with your LG. I really like mine too. As far as your issues are concerned, I don't use vinegar in the wash but it's strange that it leaks out. I use fabric softener diluted with water and have no leakage from the FS compartment in the dispenser. You should check the dispenser to make sure that it's not cracked or assembled wrong - it shouldn't be leaking out before the last rinse. You are right about the door - mine can only be left open fully or half way too. I have the same issue as you do with the washer being located in a busy hallway leading to the garage. I usually do my washing in the evening and leave the door open overnight and then shut it the next morning. That seems to be sufficient for the washer to dry out. As to the borax and oxy bleach: if you are not using the prewash option, you can remove the liquid detergent insert and just put your liquid detergent together with borax and oxy bleach directly into the main wash compartment. If you are using prewash, then I think your only option is to switch to powder detergent (which may be a good idea anyway) so that borax and oxy bleach can be dispensed into the main wash. Oxy bleach needs time and higher temp to do its job. I don't think it's effective in the short prewash portion of the cycle.

When I first heard of these things a few years ago, I imagined myriad mini induction coils driven by myriad generator circuits costing myriad currency units. However, the truth is out there, and at least one system is less complex than I imagined. (The photo below is reportedly a Bosch with the glass removed.) kas

Thank you all for chiming in! pal- yes, I agree. That's the main pitfall I'm wondering about. Have you experienced this first hand, or is it just something you could potentially foresee? leela4- thanks- I will look into it! javiwa- no you aren't entirely off base. Our GC will not supervise this, but that's because he doesn't really supervise anything, unfortunately. His MO is more that of an air traffic controller. He has unwavering faith in his subs and get awfully testy when they are questioned. DH likes to say he thinks it's his job to look out for the subs, not us. Happily most of his subs really are pretty darn good. The ones that weren't, well, we're glad they're finished and out...
