Here is a link to the first one..

luisa - congrats! You will love it.

Thinking of using an american in my next kitchen

i know you had issues with the wolf I did not have with my Wolf AG

were you able to use them both to make a comparison?

We love the American. Sadly, I did indeed have problems with the Wolf AG. I am so glad you did not have issues.

Yes, we used them both prior to the Wolf departing our home. I am so pleased with the American compared to the Wolf. The performance has been great. The burners do what we need them to do. And, actually, I find cleaning the American MUCH easier that the black top of the Wolf. Also, the oven is larger.

I like the control of the knobs better too. The Wolf has points to turn to and the American does not. There is also an indicator light for each burner and the range...pretty handy.

I easily recommend the American if you are considering it. Let me know if you have specific questions and I will be glad to answer!

Take care!

We are not having a leak issue but I do notice a small smell of gas right after you light the stove (2 mins or so) and then it goes away. I did ask American and they said it was normal. But the weird thing is that prior to the new oven guides, there was no smell, replaced the guides with the new ones, now it smells? Did you have any smelling before actual leak?

Let us know how it goes.

it is the current house and we are going to keep it

we are looking at a second home in the mountains and i get to start this lunacy all over

We had removed the racks before the burn-off, but not the guides. These have not had the same issue. We had little smell from that after they were used the first few times, but that has worn off.

Hope all is well with you!

I'm been out of touch for a while. Work has been crazy busy and life in general has gotten busier.

I was suppose to get my 48" American Range this week but it hasn't arrived. I called the retailer and now I'm told it should be in next week. I'm waiting for the range to arrive so that I can ship all my appliances at once. The contractor will start installing my floors after the appliances get installed.

I'll keep everyone posted!

shannonh1230 congrats on your new range, glad you got the clicking fixed.

vnsmom welcome back are you counting the days?

adla i have a 48" wifey and i love it. no gas problems thank god, but as plumorchard said we due get a hint of gas when the oven first starts up. very slight and then it disipates. i think it is because of the way that the ovens are vented.another thing to consider is, does the DCS have alot of electronics that could fail, the american range is simple yet pleasing to the eye,just my opinion.best of luck

I need to decide on a range this weekend and I'm choosing between the 30" American and the DCS. One of my concerns is the broiler. I've read very good things about the DCS broiler, but I haven't been able to find much info about the American broiler, except that it turns off automatically when the door is open. Is this very annoying? Does the broiler work well otherwise? Any other factors I may have overlooked? Thank you!

Thanks to you and John and everyone else in this thread for the useful information. I ordered my 30" range today. Can't wait to have it installed in April!

mcferg - glad you are cooking again.

hope everyone is doing great! We've been busy with kiddos lately and have taken a "house" break.

adla congratulations
every time i read about someone being excited about ordering there range i get that feeling all over again.
i can't imagine any reason you won't love it.

plumorchard just wanted to say thanks for all the research that you did and posted for the future american range owners. you are really outstanding!

my wife went away this week and my daughter and i really put the range to the test. we cooked ,broiled, baked, griddled and i will clean it up tomorrow before wifey gets home.we had a blast and it worked well. no i'm not lazy i was just curious how it will clean-up after a week with us.
john

So, a little funny but here is our report on the first use of convection! My son and his friends picked out some frozen fried cheese sticks from BJ's for a snack at his sleepover. Well, they were pretty darn yummy! The convection did a great job and they weren't all soggy or overdone. Now, I need to try some other things!
:)

I received a call today from American Range (they were returning my call). It seems that they're having problems filling the ranges with grills. The company that they were working with for the broiler for the grill has gone out of business so American is now working with someone else. They are saying that the grill ranges won't be available for another 8 weeks.

He did say that if I took the griddle, he could ship it next week.

I was going to get a 36", four burners and a grill. But when I went to the appliance dealer to look at the hoods, he told me that ranges with grills (or BBQ's as he called them) make a large mess in the kitchen and he HIGHLY recommends not getting one. So now I am hesitating on whether to get one or not. I live in Southern California and I have a BBQ outside, so maybe it is silly to get one on the range and it would be better to get the two extra burners.

Have you had any feedback, pro or con on getting the grill in your range?

Karin

akarinz have you made a decision on what type of hood yet i'm still looking. my appliance guru said vent-a-hood is a good brand. but for the 48" it's like 1700. i believe...ouch.

shannonh1230 how's your range working???

Johnny, it is a drag! I need to decide how much I'm going to let it interrupt my plans. I'm putting in hardwood floors and the contractor was going to install the flooring after the appliances were installed. Now I need to decide if I want the floors to go in before the range. It is a big range (48") so, I'm not sure it the flooring will get damaged when we move the range in. Any advice?

Adla, I bought the extended warranty for all my appliances. It goes for 4 years after the manufacturer warranty runs out. I bought it because I have to have it delivered months before I will be able to use them and I don't want to be stuck with a problem if I've only used it for 4 months. Also for me the price, I felt was very reasonable, $1000 for 4 years on all my appliances which complete 2 kitchens and 1 laundry room. Not bad!

My biggest fear in getting the 36" American with the grill is the potential for making a "mess" in the house, via smoke etc. I am spending a LOT OF MONEY in having my kitchen redone and other remodeling. I don't want to have the grill cause problems for me in maintaining my kitchen and house, with smoke residue all over.

The oven will turn down quite low and it works great to keep things warm. I've heard great things about the Bosch in stores and some here. One thing I would consider is whether or not it has a cooling fan that runs if the oven is on. If it runs all the time and is noisy, that would bug me. (Some do run to keep electronics, etc. cool)

We love the American and have no hesitations about recommending it. Good luck with your choice, let us know.

karin - I had problems finding one that wasn't pricey, that would fit, that was recirculating. It was tricky! You will love that grill, I bet!

akarinz, i went back and started reading some posts about using the grills and i think it will only smoke bad if it's not cleaned properly. i personally think if it will make you smile and feel warm and fuzzy GO FOR IT! worse case clean it real good & put a griddle cover on it and make pancakes, french toast, eggs, and the such or put a butcher block over it.
jwnmkm read the posts, big happy american range campers,lol.if you wipe up the mess with a wet paper towel you'll be fine. if it's baked on scrape it off leave a wet paper towel on it for a while and scrape off the rest. preferibly with a vinyl spatula of some sort so it doesn't scratch.
if you owned a stove before i'm sure you didn't auto clean the oven everytime. this is made well i think it cleans a heck of alot easier then the maytag i had. well at least watching my wife clean it anyway.oh, by the way she didn't realize i had used the oven as well while she was gone and she just cleaned it 4 days after i went back to work so it sat lke that for about 9 days in total.but after all her yelling, it took her longer to get over it then it did to clean it.lol yeah i was in the dog house.i just started talking about the new refridge and dishwasher she wants and it was all better.
best of luck and i hope this helped!

The information on the original broiler company no longer being in business explains why I was told by one place that the ranges with Grills were not availabile. Since I am not in a hurry it is no impact to my timeline

Someone asked what I was quoted for the 48" range with Grill. I believe the price was $4895 but would need to hunt back through the emails to confirm.

I did purchase the 48" with the grill but have been unable to get American Range to provide an answer as to how the broiler in the grill works - is it the same broiler as is in the oven? If the broiler in the oven is on does that mean the grill is on?

I have not used a griddle or a grill on a range before but was at a Friends house with a 5 star range w/griddle the other day. I asked him about the griddle and how he liked it. He commented that the grill was great in theory but they never use it as it makes a huge mess.

In between talking with contractors, work, and everything else going on I have started to shop for other pieces of the kitchen - Hood, Sinks, In-Ceiling Speakers, etc.

We already have the refridge (Sub Zero), the 44 bottle wine refridge, and the dishwasher. Now the wife wants to add a free standing ice maker. I guess that means she is planning on throwing a lot of parties when the project is complete.

Finally I called my gas company and they sent a guy who detected the gas coming from the stove itself and wrote up a report saying that the stove was "imminently hazardous." At this point, American Range finally sent a different technician, who found and repaired the gas leak in the stove. He told me so much gas was leaking that it could have made my whole family sick.

That solved the constant gas leak, but the stove still has a strong odor of gas for five minutes or more every time the oven is turned on. I've never experienced this with other gas stoves and it makes me nervous.

Just as annoying, the broiler will not stay lit. You have to press the oven door closed very tightly to get it started, and then after the broiler lights, it will usually turn off again on its own after a minute or two. You basically have to stand there holding the oven door pressed tightly closed for the whole time that the broiler is on, or the flame will go out. I know I should call American Range about this, but they treated my so badly with the first problem, that I'm putting off dealing with them again.

Please email me your contact information and I will personally ensure your issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

We take great pride in our products and services. Please allow me an opportunity to assist you.

American Range

farah1 there are alot of happy american range owners here. that has to say something!
john

The range does everything it is suppossed to - my only complaint is that the oven seems to anywhere from 50-25 degrees off. I plan on contacting the company on Monday.

Overall I am very happy with the range and would definitely recommend it - it was a "great" value as well as an excellent piece of equipment.

Thanks for the advice. The plan with the contractor is to put in a clause that if they do not complete by X date they will lease the construction space for $XXX per sqf per day.

In my area some contractors have very little to no work right now and others are staying fairly busy. It seems to have the most to do with what part of town they primarily concentrate in. Those contractors that work in the suburbs and new construction are the ones with the least amount of work.

Those contractors that concentrate in-town seem to be pretty busy.

We are waiting on two more estimates. All of the contrators come highly recommended. Although we do have additional references we need to check out on the top two choices. The contractors range from being able to start construction tomorrow to being ~3 weeks out.

We chose not to do a construction loan due to the high expenses associated with this type of loan and the fact that we would have had to give up the phenomonal interest rate on our first mortgage.

You are absolutley correct about changes being expensive. This is one of the reason we selected the architect we did and spent the extra time working on placement, layout, etc. It required several iterations and took additional time but I think (hope) it will pay dividends in the end.

I think I am leaning the VAH hood based on recommendations.

amg_roadster i'm liking the lease clause!glad you did your homework. i'n hearing some good things about futuro hoods,i still have to ck & see what they have.so far it's V.A.H.
john

Karin

Funny you should mention the Futuro hood. The wife was looking at it the other day and really likes the looks.

I am not as sold on it. I am leaning towards the vent-a-hood. I like the design and the fact that I can get the infared heat lamps as an option.

And, of course, the fact that we have had no problems with it at all has been great!!

Be glad to answer any questions you might have.

amg - Hi!

Hello to everyone else too.

Hi yourself :) Glad to hear that you are still very happy with the American Range.

- my trim rings around the knobs were slightly binding. If you pull off the knobs you can adjust the ring position. BIG pain to pull the knobs though as mine are very tight - you need gorilla fingers.

- the broiler really cooks (so to speak) but being required to have the door closed to use it is annoying. When I want to use the broiler I put a metal magnet on the door frame to hold the door switch closed. Problem solved.

For those wondering we STILL have not broken ground on the house expansion - it is going much slower than I had expected. We have selected a company to do the work and are currently working with their designer and working on the contract.

I had origanlly hoped to finish around July 4th. Now I am hoping to be complete before Thanksgiving.

cuhead- thank you for the tip about the broiler! I was afraid the oven-door issue would be very irritating. Such a simple solution.

p.s. hey american range owners, how about posting some pics for us. i have to finish my kitchen still maybe another month or 2.(crossing fingers)

We ran into an issue trying to find something that would give us the look we want and flow enough CFM.

There were a couple of others we liked until they were priced. The plan was not to spend $7700+ for a hood - more than the range was.

We are still a ways of from the job being completed. We STILL have not broken ground yet.

The construction company we selected has their own way of doing things that they swear minimizes on site time, increases quality, and reduces distruption.

Right this minute I am not too thrilled with them but as construction has not started I am witholding final judgement.

We are in the process of completing the interior design - cabinets, bathroom, finishes, colors, etc. Why we are not starting construction till all these decisions are made makes no sense to me. Just tell me the f'ing deadline decisions need to be made by and it will be done.

This company harkens back to the old school mentality of "having inventory" vs. JIT (Just In Time).

But this is the company the wife wanted and we do like the designer.

We have selected Italian Cabinets for the kitchen and are working out the final details. I have some misgivings about the cabinets but they are good quality and we like the look. But if I was building the cabinets there are changes I would make. Unfortunatly we just have not seen a line made in the Good Old USA that gives us the look and all the features we want. Take away those to points and I there are things I can get in cabinets made here that the Italian ones wont have.

Have a meeting with the construction company tomorrow. We will see what develops.

I can only describe them as a bunch of amatures. There is a lot of things they really did not know and kept trying to change the plans the architect created. They wanted to do things the way they always have not the right way.

Not to mention they missed a number of items in the scope document and kept trying to revise their bid. We recieved 6 bids a majority of those being smaller companies and none of them missed the pieces this place did.

They were the most unprofessional group I have ever dealt with.

We are waiting on a partial refund for the design fee. They were not happy when we told them we were not interested in the $45k cabinets they selected for us which was significantly more than the budget we provided them.

So after wasting 2+ months with this company we are back to selecting a construction company for our project.

Once I recieve the refund I will share the name of this design firm so others can learn from our horrible expierence. For a design firm they did not even do that well.

If this is the biggest issue we encounter in our project we will be in good shape. I am just hoping we can get everything completed for Thanksgiving.

At least they had not started the real work before they realized they were not capable of completing.

What a bunch of amatures.

I couldn't help turning a range knob. When I did, all 4 burners had their electronic spark iginition "lighting". Is this normal?

ardra no electronics, less to go wrong! i have the 48" and it is great. never used the timer on the old stove. i just never trusted it.not sure if you have seen it yet but it is a good looking range.everyone that walks in my kitchen see's it and there eyes light up. and there is nothing around it, just picked up the cabinets yesterday.and the refridge last week. i can't wait for it to be finished & then see what they say.best of luck.

amg listen, look at this as a blessing. and if you have to do it 10 more times, it's best to find out before the work starts. this will only make you stronger and wiser. shame on these guys not being able to get thru to at least the rough before the customer realizes they are a con.
now you will almost beable to smell them as they walk thru the door. just don't let your guard down.keep the faith no matter what don't settle for anything less then 100% satisfaction.

Anyway we selected a new company and they started work on Tuesday. They have started clearing the area for the new addition and pulling the permits. Tomorrow I should have a better idea of when they will begin excavation for the expanded basement and the foundation.

They have a custom cabinet builder we will interview shortly. We have one cabinet design that needs some tweaking on file with a local show room but have not finalized anything yet.

Still need to place the order for the Hood from Dvorsons. Can't wait to get the American Range. I saw that someone had posted about their concerns over purchasing the American Range site unseen. That is exactly what I did and I have no concerns or hesitation.

Ohhh. You all in the thread will apperciate this. The desginer from the first company tried to talk us out of the American Range and was pushing Wolf - the American Range was "just too powerful" (put out too many BTU's). Let me get this straight you want me to spend more money for a lesser product? That is a good idea, or not. I have a little news for you - I can turn down the heat level but you can only turn it up so high. I would much rather have more power than I need/can use than not have enough.

Johnny you are 100% correct about not setteling. The new company seems to be very good from that perspective - from all the feedback we recieved and the conversations we had. Of course only time will tell.

chuck

John - thank you for the reassurance. The blue lights are cool.

I have yet another concern (or, worry). The electrical outlet was placed in the wrong spot. It fell right behind the metal plate that protects the gas line connection. The electrician "moved" the outlet so that it was "recessed" further back into the wall so the plug will be out of the way and the range can be flushed against the wall. I just need more reassurance that this is an acceptable set-up.

Once again, thank you for your insight.

Donna Y

donnay, sorry i couldn't get back to you sooner. you could also lower the outlet so it is below the base of the range kinda even with the legs. you don't need a double outlet so you could use a single outlet like the ones that you see under at least 1 window in each room. that's what they did for a dedicated line for the a/c window units.
john

Post some pictures.

The company we were dealing with is Home Forge aka Home Forge Remodeling in Atlanta, GA.

We had to deal with Home Forge's attorney to try and get a refund of some of the design fees we spent with them.

If you are considering a project in Atlanta stay away from this company.

They are a bunch of Amateurs. They just don't have a clue as to what they are doing. This company cost us several thousand dollars and 3 months of time on our project.

They tried to revise their bid a number of times while we were working with them. Out of all the bids we recieved they were the only ones that missed a number of items on our scope document.

They do not know the meaning of Porject Management or follow through. They have very poor communication skills. They do not know the meaning of Green building and want to build "old school" (and not in a good way). The more you talk to this company the more you realize they are a marketing firm and know little to nothing about construction.

I could go on about this company but it is taking this thread off topic.

Do yourself a favor if you are in Atlanta and don't waste your time talking to Home Forge.

All of which is a long way to say that if things go the way they should tomorrow the project will begin to make positive progress.

Karin

donnay - our electrical had to be moved too. they can sure get creative with how they place the box. I know it is too late but we ended up moving the box over and then down so it would be closer to the floor where the range legs create an opening.

amg - progress!?! I hope....hang in there.

joel - I have not tried the dehydrate function but I read through it and it seemed it would work fine. Maybe someone else will have tried it.

akarinz - give American a call. I know it is frustrating but it will be worth the wait!

ggkell - having had the Wolf (defective/all gas) we love the American. I don't know if there are dealers in VA but contact the main number for American and see who the distributor for the area is. I know lots of folks have had good luck ordering from Dvorson's that didn't live in that region. Also, if you can get the name of the distributor and they are close enough they might have a model for you to look at there. If you have someone at an appliance store you want to work with see if they can get you info on the American.

johnnytugs - hello! hope you and yours are doing well.

We are still very pleased with our range! Matter of fact, we recently considered a possible relocation and I would have put in another American in a heartbeat!

Karin :)

We have made a little, very little progress.

We have decided to go with a local cabinet builder for custom kitchen cabinets. We have 90% of the design completed and just need to make some fairly minor tweaks.

We have also recieved the variance we were waiting on.

Beyond that we have made no progress. Due to the delay in being able to start we have hit a timing issue with the new contractor we selected for the project. I have my fingers and toes crossed that we can get started in 2 weeks.

Oh, we have decided to replace some of the windows in the house. The windows are ~70 year old, steel casement windows and on a good day may slow the wind down. A good number of the exisiting windows will go away with the expansion.

akarinz, any word?

I previously reported a slight mishap with 1 frozen pizza and 1 preheated American Range. (Meaning, I dropped the frozen pizza upside down on the window after the oven was already hot!) Obviously, I had one big melted cheesy mess on the window of the range. I didn't even attempt to clean it until it cooled off. Then, I basically scraped all I could until I had the time to really clean it.

This am I used Vinegar first (got some but not all) then Easy Off (no fumes version) on the window and it cleaned everything right up. No hassle at all really. Just my clumsiness. We have not had a problem keeping the range itself clean.

Hope all is well with everyone!

elisarose, any update? Why has American had these incidences of gas leaks anyway?

TIA.

We have had very good response from American and the distributor here (ATL) with any questions/issues we have had. I would think they would help however they can.

I would also encourage you to call American directly and ask them any questions you might have. We did that when we had very little information from the retailer and it really helped a lot.

Good luck -

Question: what kind of warranty coverage did folks opt for? An extended warranty through the seller or through some other agency? Or did people not get one?

I should ask: have people noticed any problems cropping up after several months that weren't there at the beginning? If so, have you addressed them with the warranty? Thanks.

I would think the residential version would not do that at all. We got ours in Dec 07 and have no discoloration anywhere at all. Our tile back splash also has no marks from the range. It is very easy to clean the top - the ss portion. We use Method SS cleaner and it just wipes right up. So after 9 months it still looks great!

We haven't had problems show up at all. If they did, I have no concerns that they would not be handled appropriately by American.

oldjgw - thanks for the update! Sounds like progress. Glad Chris took care of you.

550 lbs?!!! That is one freakin' heavy stove!! We'd have to sister the joists under the freakin' house! Or is there something like 200 lbs of packing material included?

I really don't think we can do this, just because of the weight :(

Although when we research the consumer complaints against the various electronics-containing range manufacturers, they *all* center on the electronics breaking down and either jamming the door shut or starting the oven or broiler up unasked and almost burning down the house or exploding in the owners' faces. It's a crazy world in electronics-land.

What are we supposed to do?!

flyleft - aren't you looking at a 30"? - the shipping wt listed online is 300 lbs. which I would assume includes crate, box, packing, etc. We have the 30" and didn't have to change anything to our floor/basement. I'm sure someone at American could tell you the actual wt. without all the shipping materials - maybe get all of the tech specs. If you aren't looking at 30" - oops! Hope it works out.

I am trying to decide on a 30 inch range and have been researching them for some time. Seems like each time i find the "right one", I read something negative about it and the search begins anew. The American is the one range I keep coming back to.

1. If I order a range online ( I live in metro Detroit and closest distributor is somewhere in Ohio), how exactly does the range get into my house? Do the shippers bring it into the house? If not, how does one get it into the kitchen?
Is it difficult to install and level?

2. If the range needs to be serviced, who would do this?

3. Many of the ranges now offer a warming drawers . Do any of you miss this feature?

TIA, i have been reading these forums forever and have learned so much from everyone sharing their experiences. It is an amazing thing, and honestly, its truly heartwarming. I stay up later to read these forums than i do to watch the Olympics!

massagerocks, I hear you--it's so frustrating! The American is one of the final two that hasn't disqualified itself yet. From what I understand about shipping, you get "liftgate" shipping to your driveway, then someone has to get it inside the house and installed. Unless you can arrange for "white glove" shipping which means delivery to the room of your choice with packing material removal. I'll let the other folks take the service question. I can say about the warming drawer that I don't anticipate missing it--it's a convenience, but I probably would use a second oven more than I would use a warming drawer. But quality is more important to me than features, so I want not to have to spend money 5 years from now when a "full-featured" range dies.

I can't think anymore...I'm beat after watching the Olympics and staying up researching!

A plumber can install (or some have done it themselves) and I think leveling the front legs can be a little tricky but not impossible. You just need an extra helper while you are adjusting the legs. The rear is on casters and that seemed a bit easier for them.

If you need service, there is a number in the manual to call. American will send someone to you.

I don't miss the warming drawer. The American oven does have a warm setting which we use at times. I would rather have the larger oven that the warming drawer that takes space away from that.

fly - another reason we moved our cabinet a bit is so hubby wouldn't hit his head on the vent hood!

I think our range was 350 w/the shipping materials. I had to do shipping estimates. I don't think it weighs 350 stand alone but I could be wrong.

We've pretty much decided to go with the American, since we can find it at a decent price only about 25% over what I wanted to spend as a maximum LOL...but that was before I realized we want NO electronics to break down. The other possibility was a DCS, but reading a thread on Apartment Therapy convinced me that we could be rolling the dice wrt service, vs. (what we see here of) American's sense of responsibility to customers after the sale. Looks like we'll go with Dvorson's, too--DH realized that if we'd been in the market for a stove when we visited SF two months ago, we drove *right* past them, since they're neighbors with Heath Ceramics in Sausalito, where we had a marvelous tour! Would have been fun to meet Josh in person--he sounds like a card :) So that's our decision, fwiw.

Hope it's the right choice...seems like it. I'm way too much of a Libra. :) Did anyone get the wok ring?

Josh at Dvorson's couldn't have been more helpful or patient. Hope the rest of the process goes as smoothly.

I do wish American had star burners. That would make my perfect oven. That size oven, stays-cool on the front more than the Bluestar, and star burners. I wonder if, if they ever change, our burners could be retrofitted with new ones? A girl can dream...but the lack of electronics and large oven that has such flexiblity wrt temperature, and nice hot broiler is enough for me to look forward to for now. :)

Re the wok: we found a site yesterday from which we might actually order a separate propane wok burner and keep it outside, of all things...so we may end up with a new wok cooker AND the American. A veritable *sea-change* in our culinary landscape. I'm so excited. Did I mention that? :)

That island is just stunning. Folks don't get that from Boos often enough. Have you started using it? I'm not sure I could actually bring myself to cut on it.

And brilliant about the shelves! How are the rods affixed? Are the halogen pucks wired or battery operated? I'm a big DIYer and I see you are too. Nice to 'meet' you :)

And what I meant was that while we see Boos maple pretty regularly, we don't see walnut all that often and it's so beautiful I wish it would appear more. We're using walnut ply over a freestanding piece in our master bedroom--really looking forward to that being done and up. I love a nice expanse of walnut. I have a feeling that with the walnut, the Heath etc. our aesthetics are pretty similar :)

I do remember doing our burn in much longer than the book said. It does eventually go away. Maybe call the support line just to be sure. Let us know.

And, to keep us on topic, my aunt who was babysitting my 10 year yesterday during fall break, loves using the range. She says her pigs in the blankets came out perfect! :) Have a great one -

I would have purchased my American from them but the bay area was too far to drive and pick it up. (They had the lowest price I could find.) BTW--Universal Appliance in LA is good to deal with as well, but doesn't compete price-wise with Dvorson's.
