Hi everyone,

I am shopping premium, but not necessarily high-end, appliance brands like Kitchenaid, LG Studio, Electrolux and Bosch. While a Subzero / Wolf package would be nice, it's a little more than I want to spend. I'd like a Frenchdoor refridgerator with built in water/ice; a quiet dishwasher; slide-in gas range (or dual fuel); and an above range microwave with quiet ventilation. I am open to any brand and looking to spend no more than $6500. Suggestions? Experience?

Random notes / questions:

I've heard great things about Bosch dishwashers, but terrible things about their refridgerators (specifically, in-door water / ice dispensor).

Anyone familiar with LG Studio and how it is different than their standard line?

Warranties. Are they worth it? I tend to always lean no.

Best retailers / online merchants to buy from?

Best time of year to buy?
