| I am having such a hard time trying to figure out which appliances I want to go with. At first I was interested in the Jennair line since they are offering a great deal. But then I started researching and find that Jennair isn't quite the best. I went out again today looking and I'm thinking I would love the Meile 36 inch refrig, Bosch DW, Thermador oven and maybe the Wolf 36 inch range top. If you had your pick and were doing a complete renovation of your kitchen, what would you pick??? Thanks, |

| With no constraints I'd get a Sub-Zero fridge and Mele DW. If I wanted a range, I'd look at Bluestar, Capital Culinarian for open burners or Wolf , DCS for sealed burners. Personally, I like the double stacked sealed burners of DCS (which I have now) and Wolf because of the incredible simmer on all burners. If I wanted a cooktop/rangetop and double ovens, I'd get Wolf ovens and consider the above 4 range choices for the cooktop/rangetop. If you want to go really high end on the range, you could look at the French ranges La Cornue or Morice. |

| Miele DW, Gagg oven below an AEG zoneless induction cooktop and a Liebherr frig. |

| Second the AEG zoneless induction. I wanted a stainless side swing or french door oven. American Range and Gaggenau make them, I think. |

| SubZero fridge, Miehle DW, 60" dual fuel Wolf range |

| I was faced with exactly the same situation 10 months ago. I hadn't seen GW and started out with a mixed brand approach and a medium but limited budget. It turned out Gaggenau had a package deal going and that the appliance dealer had an arrangement with our cabinet maker for reduced prices on packages. Long story short, ended up with all Gag for way less than other options - less than 40% of list. Double oven, frameless induction cooktop, major venting, dishwasher, 30" fridge and 18" separate freezer. Yup, perhaps nobody does everything best, but you'd be hard pressed to fault any part of this solution. |

| I really love my subzero fridge. My son left a bowl of rice uncovered and it didn't dry out for 2 days. I finally got sick of looking at it and threw it out. My fruit stays fresh much longer than it did in my old Viking. I have the Miele DW and it is great. I loved my old old kitchen aid, but the one I got after it didn't work so well. I went with a Lacanche range. My only change would be to get two simmer burners instead of just one. |

| If budget was no object---a professional live in chef with an actual chef's kitchen. Maybe Tyler Florence or one of the new crop of young hunky guys. |

| A big row of Gaggenau modular cooktops (including stuff like the steamer, fryer, and griddle), the Gaggenau zoneless induction cooktop, a CookTek induction wok hob, a wood burning indoor grill (as seen in restaurants), a wood-burning pizza oven, a Wolf steam oven, a pair of Electrolux Icon wall ovens (I haven't seen any that I like better at any price), an Advantium speed oven, SZ or Thermador refrigeration, a Miele DW. |
|
| Fridge Sub-Zero or Gaggenau Wall Oven Gaggenau or Wolf Rangetop Capital Culinarian Dishwasher Miele Definitely skip Thermador Oven. If you wanted to go crazy with the budget I would look at Molteni ranges and rangetops. |
|
| Gaggenau oven and separate Gaggenau combi steamer. Gaggenau fridge and separate freezer. I am looking at the cooktek induction wok. Go with the Miele dw and the AEG cooktop. |

| I am bemused by all the people here pushing the AEG "zoneless" (it isn't) cooktop. I suspect I am the only person here who has actually read the manual for that unit. Most important fact: it only allows three pans at a time. The Thermador/Gaggenau zoneless (it is) does at least allow four pans. From what I have read, it is superior in all ways, except it has no "stop/go" function, and it costs way more/insanely way more. |
Here is a link that might be useful: AEG 36

| LWO: Regarding the chef, now that is thinking out of the box! Why stop there... get the butler and separate pastry chef (I demand perfection in my morning croissants). Though I would personally go for skill over looks for the cooking pros... Are we talking unlimited or just higher? Because unlimited budget and space I could come up with every scenario under the sun -- cause I really need that built-in Miele deep fat fryer and an immersion circulator :). Oh and a Miele coffee maker, cup warming drawer, and fridge drawer for my milk. |

| Which Gaggenau oven? and why that one? What would you bake in it? |
