| Great catch. I am planning on going with the Modern Aire 40"x22.5" Professional Series liner. The hood will be custom cabinetry. http://www.modernaire.com/PSL_Liners.html |

| I had a friend buy the Samsung Washer and Drier and hated them. Returned them to the store and bought a pair of Miele. You picked nice appliances and I am sure you will be happy with your choices. I think the Elux ovens are so sexy - I almost bought them but heard about a problem with the porcelain chipping, so went with Wolf - and now I hear they have the same issue - but sounds very sporadic, so I would not be concerned. Help me understand the appeal of a MW drawer. You have to squat down to set the controllers - or do they have a remote that can be operated without crawling on the ground? I like the look, just never could figure out why. |

| What did your friend not like about the Samsung? I am not dead set on it --- just read some mostly favorable reviews and thought the price point was decent. I personally don't like the look of microwaves. I guess I could hide one inside a cabinet like I have seen on GW and other sites but that seems to me like a waste of valuable cabinet space. The drawer allows it to be placed in the island and is more aesthetically appealing, imo. The controllers are on the top at waist height so I am not sure about the "crawling on the ground" aspect. The drawers mostly have positive reviews and we have friends that have one and like it. |

| I guess I will assume no one sees any glaring issues? Dropping $14K here so some feedback is appreciated. |

| As to the drawer, I think the newer designs tilt the control panel up slightly. And it is certainly no worse that the front panel controls on a DW. Unless you install it as a bottom drawer instead of a top drawer. my brother owns the Samsung W/D pair. He likes them. If you're doing propane, just make sure you get it set up for propane and not NG. Propane has less BTUs per cubic foot than NG. This is corrected by installing larger jets on the burners. Even so, I think the burners have slightly less BTUs than their NG counterparts. But only slightly if any. |

| Thanks for the feedback. Called to make sure they knew it was LP (they did). I went ahead and placed the order. Thanks to the 2 people that made a comment. |

| I would look at other drawers just for some reference. I was looking at these and it seems like the sharp drawers protrude out further than the others. Drawers branded kitchen aid stuck out about half the distance and looked much more integrated in my opinion. Most of the difference was the large handle on the sharp. I believe the sharp will stick out further than a counter typically overhangs. |
