Thank you!

Now it's time for home work - visit a large appliance store, read reviews and search on this site for comments. We went with Sub Zero refrigeration, Bosch dishwasher, BlueStar gas range, and an electric Thermador wall oven and microwave.

I would try to spec out what you want so you have a specific number now, rather than trying to pick a slightly-more-informed budget number. Think about how you cook, what matters to you, etc., and find the appliances that best meet your needs. That is your appliance budget.

Bluestar range! Bosch dishwasher. Speed Queen washer and dryer. Sub Zero fridge.

Any microwave will do. In 2020, it's probably considered a disposable item anyhow. JennAir and Thermador and even Maytag make a good one.

You may also want to look at Heston ranges. Myself, I am Team BlueStar, but they don't really announce themselves quite the way some others do.

What is the most important thing about your appliances?

What type of cooking do you do? How do you use your oven? What type of cookware do you have?

Have you considered induction? Most people that get it live it.

Are you looking for a certain style?

Have you considered a rangetop and wall ovens vs a range. You can pick out each component as “best” for your needs.

$40,000 should be a good budget for: 36” cooktop (Wolf or Miele), hood , dishwasher (Miele), 48” built in fridge (Sub Zero), steam oven (Miele), wall oven (Miele), installation, delivery, tax. Go with cooktop and 400 CFM hood to avoid the costs associated with MUA.

Or you could spend $40,000 on just a range, hood and MUA.

Forget to light Microwave Draw (Sharp) in the appliance list for the $40,000 budget.

You want high end?

And if you don’t mind the giant energy bill every month, a commercial walk in cooler and display cooler could be on the table. 30K or so.

A pair of the Meile Commercial DW’s fit into a standard home sized slot. Different wiring though. 10K for 2.

$40,000 to $50,000

Resist the urge to go bigger than 36” cooktop or range. Add extra wall ovens instead. Consider a separate fridge and freezer column if you have the room.

I have the Dacor side-by-side 36" fridge and 24" freezer towers and they come panel ready and are an ABSOLUTE DREAM! I love them. My main mistake in my new kitchen was choosing the 48" Thermador range (gas on top, oven and steam oven below). While the appliance functions as promised, the fan noise from the oven is intolerable. It has a whistle noise behind it that horrible. Apparently, Thermador knows about the problem and is working on a fix for it - but I can only hope. I have an open concept house so when we sit down to eat the wonderful meal just cooked - we have this insane fan going for 45-60 after turn off. I am not the only one having a problem - put in the search Thermador Oven Fan Noise and you'll see the others. It's a $14,000 appliance that I loathe to turn on. On a different note - I also have the new Cove dishwasher which is part of the SubZero/Wolf family. This dishwasher is the BEST I have ever owned (and I've had Bosch and Miele prior). And so quiet you don't even know it is on. Love the Cove!! Best of Luck!!
