Final Push on appliances, please help

18 years ago

We are close to finalizing our appliance choices for a new kitchen and could use some help and quickly. We need to pick the appliances before the cabinets are ordered. I have done a lot of research but really can't decide between the following:

COUNTER DEPTH REFRIGERATOR

Electrolux E23CS78GPS (side by side)22.6 cu ft. We are hesitant about the side by side and prefer french door. ANy opinions on side by side are appreciated.

Kitchen Aid KFCS22EVMS, french door 21.8 cu ft. Do people have complaints about the kitchen aid refrigerators.

36" INDUCTION COOKTOP

Bosch NIT8653UC

Electrolux E36IC75FSS

30" DOUBLE CONVECTION OVEN

Bosch HBL8650UC

Electrolux E30EW*%EPS Pro series

Please help us pick. ANy experiences or information obtained through reading etc is greatly appreciated. Believe it or not, we did pick a dishwasher already.

Thanks for the help

    I don't know if I can be of any help to you but here's what I have on order for our new kitchen remodel. I bought the Electrolux EWE3085EPS 30 inch double wall oven which it seems you are considering. I didn't pick the Turkey Probe Model from Electrolux because of the bottom rack scraping the open oven door and not being able to put the gliding rack all the way to the bottom position. I also felt I didn't need all the bells and whistles of that model. As for the sxs refrigerator, I don't like them. I bought the Kenmore Elite French Door Model 25 cu feet with the large party tray...I might add that I already had this refrig and just rebought it in stainless w/a few updates from my model. That's how much I love it. As for the 36' Induction Cooktop. I bought a Thermador. I really wanted the Electrolux Model, but did not like all the stainless steel trim around the cooktop and around the controls...All I envisioned was scratching the stainless trim ... too much of it and I would not be the only one cooking on it and being careful. Thermador has trim on top and bottom but not on the sides. I understand it is a flush mount unit, although underneath might need some clearance which could effect any plans you might have for a utensils drawer directly under your cooktop. On a side note, I love the french door refrigerators. Everything is at eye level in the frig which you utilize many times a day. The bottom pull over freezer is fine...I choose a dinner item and veg and that's it for opening it except if you need ice. I have the water inside the frig and that too is fine w/us...front stays uncluttered. We also bought a dishwasher...Kenmore model, but outside of the frig, we don't have any of these appliances delivered yet. Hope this somehow helps you.

    Thanks Ichearts

    I think we are leaning towards the Kitchen Aid counter depth french door fridge. We do have a second fridge in the garage so the loss of space from the counter depth shouldn't be a huge deal.

    As for the wall oven, I will look into the model you described.

    The induction is a tough call. THe electrolux looks a little bulky. In fact it appears it is thicker or higher than the others.

    Electrolux has good rebates right now and I don't believe Bosch has the same rebates.
