Electrolux anyone?

10 years ago

We are remodeling our kitchen and are in need of a new fridge, dishwasher, and gas cooktop. I currently own Electrolux double ovens that are staying (I have been very happy with them!) and am considering getting an Electrolux counter depth fridge as the ovens and fridge will be right next to each other. I know that the fridges has terrible reviews about their ice makers, but I'm wondering if that problem still persists or if it has been fixed. Other options are KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, or a floor model Bosch that has been discontinued (still $2500!).

We are pretty well decided on a Bosch 800 model dishwasher, but torn on the cooktop.

So for cooktops, Wolf is right up at the top, but Thermador is a close second except that I read reviews about annoying clicking that I don't think I can get over. I also talked to an appliance repair professional and he said he likes GE gas cooktops.

I've read so many reviews I don't know what to think.

Any concerns for buying a floor model fridge that has been discontinued?

An appliance repair person is not IMO the best to ask about good appliances. I find Wolf over rated and over priced As for fridges I have the Fridgeadaire fridge/ freezer combo with built-in kit I think now electrolux is the same I have had mine for 9 yrs no problems with anything. I have a Bertazzoni range all gas that I love I think the Kitchenaid double wall ovens I have are the best I have ever used and the bonus they do not heat up my kitchen and I have always loved Boasch DWs

Electrolux double ovens have a design flaw whereby from the first cleaning there are "permanent stains" between the glass of the oven door, which is impossible to clean. Electrolux is aware of the issue, but recommend a totally impractical solution. Remove the doors, disassemble them, clean them and reinstall them. This highly impractical solution only lasts until the next time you wipe down your oven doors. The customer support is a joke. They reach out to "assist you" only to receive a response that it is not within warranty. Electrolux actually brags about their easy to clean oven doors. It is just the opposite in reality. Avoid Electrolux and save yourself the aggravation.
