I ordered my Café appliances in early March (fridge, gas stove, and range hood) for an August start date. I am hoping they will make it.

I purchased from a local appliance shop, and they matched the internet pricing on all my pieces. I didn't wait for a "big" sale I just asked if they price matched.

I looked long and hard at the Bosch Benchmark line before I decided on Café. I think your choices are solid.

We ordered an entire Bosch suite last October and they arrived in February, so roughly 4 months for us.

Anything with a computer chip in it will be very, very difficult to obtain. Non-chipped appliances will be easier to get. Prices for either will be going up.

Can you give any background on your comment?

There have been many news articles about the chip shortage. You can Google them to get more in depth information.

This is from today's Wall Street Journal:

"Strained chip supplies have pushed Whirlpool Corp. to switch production lines frequently, the company said,enabling it to churn out various products based on which components are on hand that day. Chief Executive Marc Bitzer told investors last week that the Michigan-based manufacturer is raising prices by 5% to 12% in various countries because of “rapidly rising inflationary pressures” from the shortage of chips and other raw materials.

LG Electronics Inc. , one of the world’s largest appliance makers, hasn’t experienced manufacturing issues. But it is reviewing production plans, anticipating that the semiconductor shortage will last through the end of the year, said Don Kwack, head of the company’s home appliance and air solution business unit.

“In all, 1,000 different types of chips are required across all our home appliances,” Mr. Kwack said."

Ordered Bosch, Sharp and Thermador early November. Still waiting on the Bosch double ovens, which are past their delivery date.

You may also want to check on where they will live if they happen to arrive before you are ready. I remodeled in 2018, so of course I didn't have to deal with covid delays, but I was still concerned about timing. My appliance store said they could hold onto them for up to 6 months. I think I bought them during a sale, and they did in fact keep them until I was ready. We did have a delay in our project, and I was so glad I didn't have to stress about the appliances. I didn't really have room in my house to store them.
