Gotta second Marco on the Bosch dishwasher! We did a reno on our kitchen/dining room about three years ago, put in a Bosch and still am amazed at how quiet it is. It also has a stainless steel interior, which many do not. And best of all, it is real world priced.
If you are going for the professional kitchen approach, Viking looks good, but the consumer models have had some reliability "issues". Wolf ranges are a hardy alternative as are the Gagenau(sp?) from France. In the upmarket 'fridge department Subzero is far more reliable than Viking.
General Electric's Monogram series of appliances are getting some good press as well.
Best of luck in your project!!
