Hi Everyone,

My first post here, I thought I would seek some opinions on my kitchen remodel in our new house.

I've decided on the following:

Miele 36inch Gas Rangetop (KMR 1134) - Heard enough stuff about the Wolf tops that I decided to go Miele. Plus I purchased this with the free 10 year warranty, so that's pretty hard to beat.

Miele 30" H6680 BP PureLine SensorTronic Convection Oven - I couldn't afford the "M" touch line, so went with the middle line. Initially I was going to get the Bosch benchmark, but was talked out of it when I saw they were made in China and some of the handles didn't match the face of the ovens. Then I was going to buy the Jenn-Air Oven/Micro combo, but the LCD interface seemed too "laggy", which would drive me crazy. So, then I looked at the Kitchen Aid combo, which didn't lag and was cheaper. But I read so many issues with KA customer service and the microwave dying within weeks of use, then I said forget it and went back to Miele.

Miele 24" M 6260 PureLine EasyControl Microwave with Trim Kit - This is the one I think I need to change out. I wanted to match the two, but now I'm concerned that the MW only has a rotary knob for setting the time and I think that will drive me nuts also. Anyone have any experience with this particular MW? Also, would another built in work instead of Miele? The concept of hiding a normal countertop microwave behind a garage door type cabinet is not an option. Wife vetoed that one.

KitchenAid Dishwasher KDTM404ESS - Wanted something with a third rack that had good reviews. Not too concerned about this one as it can be replaced without much concern.

Fridge - I'm keeping the existing Electrolux Counter Depth Fridge. Not crazy about the lack of space, but at this point I'm fine to see how it goes.

Any thoughts on these? Thanks!
