Bosch is my favorite of the mid level appliances.

Agree with a Bosch recommendation. My dishwasher is quiet and cleans well. What more do you need? I LOVE my Bosch dual fuel range. It has three different BTU burners, and I use them all. Didn't think I'd care about the convection oven much but I use it all the time. Good value, IMO.

Samsung, OTOH, should stick to phones.

I was also going to recommend Bosch

I have owned a lot of ranges, and the two that needed servicing most were convection. I dont' know why that is, but it was off putting in shopping for a new range. I have all gas now. If there is one thing I would suggest with appliances, spend the money on proper ventilation. Not sure what you have now for that, but it makes cooking much more enjoyable when you don't smell dinner for breakfast.

We've had our Bosch dishwasher for about 6 years and it's good as new. It was not the most expensive one they offer.

I've always been happy with Kitchen-Aid, and any issues I've had with any of their appliances I've always been quite pleased with KA's customer service. My KA fridge won't die... I want a subzero but I can't get it until my KA dies. LOL!

OP here... I had a bosch gas cooktop and both an old & new bosch dishwasher at the apt I lived at before moving into our own house. Loved the cooktop, and will prob think about one of those uncapped burners as I do actually cook w the wok frequently.

The old bosch dishwasher was great, but the new one that my landlord replaced it with didn't have the heating elements? They had some kind of alternative way of "drying" the dishes. I don't remember what the model was, but it was weird opening the dishwasher and see so much water puddled up everywhere.

I'm just going to chime in about convection....I have had a duel fuel range for 10 years, and I haven't used the convection in 9.5 years. I cook almost every meal at home, with 4 kids that is a lot of meal prep. I would not worry about that feature as something you might be missing out on ;)

I will absolutely have 36" in the next kitchen, the 30" has 5 burners but realistically I can use only 2 at a time, maybe 3 if I have small sauce pans...they just don't fit at the same time.

I love the convection feature on my oven and wouldn't be without it. I use it for almost everything that goes in my oven except baking and fish. As for the fridge, I think your choices are going to be about what configuration you want (French door or not, mostly) and whether you want a water and/or ice dispenser. Knowing those things will help narrow your choices.

Yes, as was pointed out, the Bosch dishwashers don't have a heating element, but my dishes are dry and it's not a problem for me -- and the up-side is that it doesn't matter where you wash your plastics (they can go in the lower rack because they're not to close to the heating element that isn't there). And they are quiet and do a great job :)

I don't like convection for baking as I think the tops brown too quickly. I used it every time I roasted veggies or meat, though, which was often. Crispy outside, tender inside. Mine also allowed the use of the broiler and fan at the same time and it was great for a couple of my go-to meat preps for fast cooking.

Another vote for a Bosch d/w. We're getting one (planning for two) in the remodel. My old Bosch was damaged during a flood, which is why we're remodeling.

I'm a hobby cook and prepare 1-3 meals a day with bread baking thrown in there. The rental we're in has a standard GE coil stove. It's a lot slower with everything and I have to check the food more often due to its unevenness. I really miss the results from my fancy cooktop/oven. The dishwasher (has the heating element) is meh on cleaning, is really loud, and plastics are still wet when we open it in the morning. The basic fridge is fine, except that I've bonked the top of my head on the freezer handle several times after digging around in there, so I do curse it when that happens!

I may be buying a new Bosch range. Called Yale Appliance (Boston) and they said that Bosch prices are increasing from 5-20% on July 1st! The amount of the increase depends on the appliance. They didn’t provide any further details. But you may want to consider buying before 7/1 and arrange to take delivery later.

I couldn't find a Bosch dishwasher that would fit my dishes. I had really wanted Bosch since I'd heard people rave about them, but if it won't fit my dinner plates it's useless to me ya know! So... pay attention to measurements. I took a list of measurements of my most used dishes/pots/pans and a small tape measure with me when I went dishwasher shopping, so glad I did! (Hubby wanted a fancy Meile, the engineer in him loved how the door sounded when it opened and closed, they seemed so much more solidly made than everything else, but those REALLY wouldn't fit my dishes, and I'm not about to replace all my bone China for a dishwasher.)
I ended up going with an LG dishwasher this last time. It's huge inside. It also doesn't have a heating element, my first time without one, but my dishes (plastics included) still come out dry. Except for the ridges in most plastic items that collect water... but my dishwashers with heating elements didn't get those spots either. I like the LG for the most part..l except I have to clean the filter out every use and that annoys the crap out of me. I hate that!!! I miss my old dishwasher that used a grinder.

Consider buying from Costco. They double the pathetic 1 year warranties and double that if you use their Citi Visa card to 4 years.

We replaced a KitchenAid dishwasher with a Bosch, I like the Bosch performance-wise but it doesn't fit my plates well either. Next time I'm bringing some dishes to the appliance store! Anyhow, check out the blog at Yale Appliance (https://blog.yaleappliance.com/) these guys keep statistics on repair calls by brand and appliance type. You may have to comb through some of their blog posts to find what you want but it's definitely worth some time as part of your searching.
