Completely off topic - Kitchen Appliance Forums

Quit the snickering but we are doing a kitchen and family room reno. The good news is that the speakers in our living room will finally be able to move out where they should be. The bad news I need to figure out about appliances. Wondering if any of you know any websites like this that discuss the various merits of good appliances. Reasonable budget. Not looking to spend a fortune but cook a moderate amount. Thanks in advance

I'll third the Bosch dishwasher, my mother has one. Does a nice job, seems well designed, she hasn't had any problems with it and it is indeed extremely quiet, though not silent.

I wish my 130 year old apt. had a dishwasher..hell, I wish it had counters lol....

We renovated our kitchen a couple of years ago. Tore it down to the studs, removed a wall and rewired it myself. Man, running that ten gauge wire for the stove was a chore. Anyway, we went with the upper level Maytag appliances. Very good for the $$.
A side note; we are moving into a new home soon. Running the ten gauge for the stove was good practice as I plan on doing the same (probably 12 gauge) for the listening room.

To supplement your research, you could phone the authorized service people for the appliances you are considering. They are frequently candid about problems with certain manufacturers.

This thread triggered memories of my pet peeve -noisy refrigerators.
Some jackass architect decided it would be "with it" to put the friggin kitchen right in your living room along with major appliances (stupid jackass!).
In the old days, kitchens had DOORS!
This, along with noisy air conditioners, sort of negates your multi-thousand dollar sound system.
At any rate, who make the most silent 'frig?

We recently purchased all new appliances for our first home. We went with matching stainless steel Kitchen Aid dishwasher, electric stove, microwave. They work great and look awesome. I only wish we could afford to remodel the rest of the kitchen. I think consumer reports magazine just recently (Jan?) reviewed kitchen appliances. Their website could probably tell you the issue that covered them. Good luck.
