Appliance Choices - Feedback please

19 years ago

Okay I admit I may have lost my mind today (see later on in the post for details), here is the list of my current appliance selection. I am certainly willing/able to make some changes, as I did several times in the store today.

Oven - Dacor MOV130S - in reading the forum it sounds like there are some quality issues, but the probe may be fixed and it sounds like Dacor stands behind the other issues.

Convection Microwave - Dacor DCM24S with AOCTK30S trim kit (this was free with Oven purchase)

Dishwasher - Here is really where I may have lost it - I went in thinking that I was going to buy an integrated Bosch, but the Dacor (24") was on sale, and of course the matching handle with the stove is nice, so I - for the moment - chose MDW24 (stainless steel) - the Millenia. I have read all of the horror stories about the 30" Dacor dishwasher, which they ended up replacing with the 24" so it sounds like they haven't had the same problems. But I have found no comments on this model - thoughts?

Cooktop - Jenn Air - 36" JEC9536BDS with the Vent a hood PRH9-136SS

Fridge - Stainless Steel LG - French doors. I chose the 22CU ft here instead of 25Cu ft as this saved $800 - thoughts? Is this a reasonable place to save money (we will have a 18cu ft fridge only downstairs)?

That's it for now. I would really appreciate your input on this.

Where to start?
Oven: If you are going to go with Dacor, stick with the Classic Series oven (MCS130S). It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles as the MOV130S, but as a cooking instrument, its a better oven, and half the price. If you want to drop $3000 plus on an oven, check out Wolf or Miele.

Microwave: If you order the DCM24, you may want to order your replacement LCD control panel with it. Save money and buy Sharp R930CS with RK9S30 trim kit. Sharp is the same oven without the troublesome LCD panel, and about $300 less.

Dishwasher: Dacor is a cooking products company, making their second attempt at dishwashers. Stick with the Bosch.

Cooktop and Hood: Good choices; you won't be disappointed.

Refirgerator: LG is to major kitchen appliances what Dacor is to Dishwashers. Make sure you have a local service network. Service in some areas is like pulling teeth. It's one thing if its a plamsa TV, but your fridge is another (well you do have a spare downstairs though). Check out Maytag/Amana french door models.

Bump. Applianceguy - if not going with a Dacor Classic and need a 27" double oven, what do you suggest?
