I haven't finalized my appliance choices yet, but here's what I'm thinking...

Wolf rangetop
Wolf double wall ovens (or double GE)
Wolf Warmer
GE Advantium Micro/oven
KA Dishwasher
Sub-Zero fridge

GE advantium 240 built in
GE profile convection wall oven
KA counter depth French door refrigerator
KA dishwasher (mid line)
Kenmore 30" induction cooktop
KA downdraft

I'm still considering an instant hot, but it's great to have all the others decided!

Nothing matches, everything works

KA dishwasher drawers - love them due to ease of loading and unloaded; bottom drawer is noisier than I expected, however

KA full-size FD Fridge - love the configuration (fridge on top, freezer on bottom) since we access the fridge so much more often than the freezer.

KA wine chiller - we got this more as a place to store wine (which always sat on a counter before). It's fine, but so far I haven't found the optimum temperature (reds are too cold)

Viking 36" 6-burner cooktop - love the looks, works fine, but not "to die for". At this point, I'd prefer a rangetop with equal size burners; the locations of the knob that matches each particular burner is non-intuitive; simmer isn't great

Kobe RA-094 hood - just installed yesterday, so no comments yet, but it looks really good

KA 27" convection wall oven - so far, so good (I haven't really figured out yet what makes one oven better than another)

Insinkerator instant hot water - love it, use it constantly

KA trash compactor - love it, particularly 1) the fact that the side tips out for easy bag removal, and 2) there are "buttons" to hold the plastic bags in place

GE spacemaker microwave - perfect - small, not built in, on/off turntable

Wolf 36" AG range
Independent Connoisseur 42" vent hood
Monogram Advantium 120V
Monogram Pro-Style single wall oven (new ZET series)
Subzero 685 (42" DD with ice and water in door)
Kitchenaid S-series DW
Monogram wine chiller
ISE Evolution disposal

I'll give a review once we're in, settled, and cooking away in our new kitchen!

Range: Lacanche Macon
Hood: Fornair
Micro: GE advantium 240 built in
Fridge: 48" KA SxS
DW #1 : KA
DW #2: undecided on brand or if should get DD
UC fridge: undecided on brand

Bluestar 36" rangetop
Ventahood 42" chimney vent hood
Fisher & Paykel double ovens
Fisher & Paykel dishdrawers
Danby SxS wine fridge
Kenmore SxS fridge (keeping from pre-remodel)
Cheapy panasonic micro (leftover from my college days and still working fine; will be hidden in a cabinet)

Just a coincidence that they mostly match

Expect to order unless we come up with better solutions:
Best by Broan vent hood inserts
GE Profile 18" DW

Expect to order when we have the budget:
Kitchenaid integrated dish drawers

We have and are keeping for now:
Whirlpool Gold bottom freezer fridge

Wolf RT366LP six burner rangetop
Independent 34" hood liner with 1200 CFM blowers
Monogram ZET2P Double wall oven
Monogram microwave with built in kit
Monogram DW 6880?
Monogram SxS 26 cuft Fridge

DCS 6 burner range (2006 model with 6 - 17.5 btu burners)
F&P Single 30" oven
Viking 30" warming drawer
Our workhorse Kenmore dishwasher (which is great)
GE Artica CD fridge
GE Spacemaker under cabinet microwave

Existing Panasonic Microwave newly dressed with Mirco trim kit.

Complete DIY installation

One of the best advise that I have learned is, "do your due dilegence". I love the mix and match look in my kitchen. Too bad there is not a company out there that makes the best of everything, at a affordable price.

LG 7811 series DW (replaced 1991 KA) LG maybe was a mistake - doesn't perform like the KA (but is quiet).
Sub zero fridge (550 series from 1991) - its dying a slow death will replace in a year or 2

We are pleased with all except the Gagg cooktop, which has extremely powerful burners but has required a fair amount of service calls.

As for the microwave, we have a cabinet space for a free-standing one, but I view it as a semi-disposable appliance. I'll find one I like the look and price of after we move in.

I've been using all for about 6 months and love my choices. I don't think I'd change a thing.

I was looking at the Wolf RT366 at first - but I like the closed burners on the SRT366.

Bosch HBL5045 30" wall oven (possibly under cooktop)
Amana AFI2538AES french door fridge (Maytag MFF2557HEQ might be on a super-sale though and I might give up the filtered water for half price)

old, beat-up Costco bought microwave for now
Zephyr AK2536 36" 695 cfm hood

for in-law unit:

Maytag dishwasher which came with house
2nd fridge, probably the Amana or Maytag
Zephyr AK2536 36" 695 cfm hood
Bosch Nexxt 500 series washer and dryer (holding off on owner's unit stuff until we regain some disposable income -- maybe an Asko set eventually?)

I do some wok cooking, have filled several apartments with smoke using our old crummy rental unit ranges sans ventilation, still not sure if 695 cfm is hideous overkill or not (the Thermador is combined BTUage of 55K, so theoretically 550 cfm is enough). Also toying with the idea of a wine fridge, but the idea of spending as much on my wine fridge as my regular fridge just seems too ridiculous to take seriously.

If anyone has a much better idea, I'm ready to hear them!

Bluestar range (model #RNB366BSS)
-six burner with both 22k burners (front right and front left) up front and simmer in middle back
-island trim
The Bluestar range is pretty amazing. I used it to stir-fry (love that pull-out burner grate center) for the first time last week and wow, I am totally impressed. The difference high heat makes here is amazing. I’m still working on getting the burners to go lower for simmering. Even the simmer burner is too hot as is and the yahoo they sent out to fix it hadn’t a clue. (He actually told me, "What you have here is a Wolf knock-off—these burners are made by Wolf, but just not as good as what they use on their own units;" and while it is arguable that Wolf is as good or better than Bluestar, I know they don’t make the burners for Prizer-Painter.) Water boils almost instantly and the range has been easier to clean than I’d imagined it would be too. I love the open burners a lot more than I thought I would, too—great heat, easy to clean, easy to use.

The downside is that there is weld mar on the front of the stove door (you can see it in the picture in the gallery—top right side) and the oven door and, as well as the knobs and drip tray get really (REALLY) hot when you use the oven. The broiler also isn’t as great as I remember it when testing at Eurostoves—it cooks very unevenly with items in the back turning to charcoal before items in the front even get hot.

Prestige High Capacity hood insert 40" (UIBTF400EC15) with Prestige remote blower for pitched roof 1,600 CFM
The hood works well and is reasonably quiet, though it needs to be pretty high (and therefore louder) before it does a great job. A HUGE improvement over my old micro-hood (and quieter to boot), so no real complaints here.

GE Profile Advantium (SCB1001KSS)
I’ve only fiddled a bit with the Advantium’s speed cook features and, so far, haven’t been blown away, but it works great as a microwave, is very roomy and I’ve used the melt and soften features a lot. It’s also a truly admirable warming drawer and, though I thought I’d very rarely use it in that capacity find myself using the "warm" function almost daily. Go figure.

2 InSinkErator Evolution Excel garbage disposals with air switches (STS000)
I haven’t found anything that can stymie the Evolution garbage disposals, including lemon wedges and potato peels. (I know, I know, don’t lecture me I’m still gonna’ do. The eventual "consequences" are less a pain than futzing with wet, sticky peels all the time.) They’re also amazingly quiet. I’m very impressed.

GE Monogram 30" double oven (ZET2SLSS)
The GE Monogram double oven is awesome. I love the glide racks; the controls are easy to use and read and it holds a very consistent temperature. I’m very, very happy with this choice and glad I didn’t spend more for the Wolf or new model Dacors I was also looking at.

Jade 48" Side by Side Refrigerator (RJRS4870A)
The Jade fridge is a bit of a dud. The pull-out shelves are nice, as is the stainless interior and temperature controlled drawers, but I could have had almost all of that in a Jenn-Air built-in for $500+ less. Wish I’d saved my money or, even more so, wish I hadn’t let people talk me out of the Monogram all-fridge, all-freezer I REALLY wanted.

2 Bosch Integra 800 dishwashers (SHV99A13UC)
The Bosch dishwashers work reasonably well. I wish they were quieter, but they do a good job and are pretty soft; just not silent.

Gaggenau 24" Steam Oven (ED 220/221)
I’m reserving judgment on the steam oven until I learn how to use it. So far, just trying to steam some veggies, I’m not impressed. (It takes FOREVER at their suggested temps/time.)

GE Monogram 24" stainless steel wine reserve (ZDWR240PBS)
The Monogram wine fridge is super quiet holds a consistent temp and works great. Still don’t know if this an essential appliance (especially for red wine drinkers like ourselves), but my husband likes it and it looks pretty. If nothing else it holds our wine really well. :-)

Jenn-Air 36" counter-depth side-by-side fridge with dispenser (JCD2295KES)The Jenn-Air fridge we’re using for our beverage fridge is quiet and does what it’s supposed to. If it was my only fridge though, I’d think it was way, WAY too small. I do really like that the water dispensed is not only filtered, but chilled. A really nice touch.

Oh yeah, LG Tromm washer and dryer too.

The appliances are as follows:

All Monogram:

42" buil-in S/S w/o the H2O dispenser fridge (ZISS420NRSS)
48" DF range with the griddle (ZDP48N6DHSS)
Advantium 120 (ZSC1001KSS)
D/W (ZBD6880KSS)
48" hood, 1200 CFM w/ shelf and S/S backsplash (ZV48RSFSS)

plain GE 1 HP disposal

We had the fridge and the DW installed since September 2006 - love them, no complaints. Too early to comment on others, but I jsut love the looks of my new range!!!

Range: Wolf, Dual Fuel - 30-inch
Hood: Wolf, sized for range, externally vented
Fridge: SZ 650
Dishwasher: Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawers (my second set. I had a set in my last house -- have had 7 years of experience with F&P DDs, and just love them. They are an amazing addition to the kitchen!)
Washer & Dryer - Fisher & Paykel

Wolf 30" AG range - I like the cooktop but not impressed with the gas oven. I should have got a electric built-in oven. I hate bending over to get things out too.

JennAir 36" SS Curved Under-Cabinet Hood (JXT5836ADS) - It is better then the old one that was 36 years old and hadn't worked for 20 years.

JennAir 48" SS side by side Built-In refrigerator (JS48PPFXDA)- I like the way you can fit alot in but be able to see everything and not have it get lost in the back.

GE Triton XL dishwasher - It was only 3 years old when we did the remodel so kept it. It still works great. Dressed it up with a SS panel so it goes with all the other SS appliances.

Daewood SS (inside) convection microwave - It can roast, grill and brown meat.

Oster convection toaster oven (new 2007) - Fourth one since the remodel because I keep taking them back. They just don't make good toaster ovens anymore. I killed the last one with the remodel that took 7 months because we used it several times a day every day. It was an old Black & Decker, but now they are junk.

Just finished the kitchen two days ago. Love the full extension racks on the oven and the looks of the oven when it is on. Love the range top, and love, love, love the refrigerator drawers. The JennAir is better than I thought it would be. The refrigerator was the most difficult decision because I thought the interior plastics were flimsy and the refrigerator quite small. I think it would be difficult to live with a counter-depth refrigerator if you didn't have a spare in the garage.

I love all my appliances, especially my induction cooktop. The only thing I am disappointed in is my Wolf ovens, they take a long time to preheat and the upper oven takes a good 5 minutes longer than the lower oven.

Currently we're using a 1900's microwave, cheap toaster oven and very nice camp stove...three burners mind you! Oh and a horrible "Stainless but not really" fridge from sears.

Of all this stuff, the only ones (indoors) I'm actually impressed with is the range and the induction units. I think they have actually made my food better and expanded the range of things I can prepare. I did a rack of lamb the other night and it was amazing!!! The fois gras I did last weekend came out downright silken. And for the first time, I pulled off a perfect risotto instead of just a decent one. This was all on the BS.

I love the induction unit for cooking things that splatter grease since cleaning around that thing is so super easy. So far, I've used it to saute bacon and veggies, I made an omelette which was really an experiment, but it came out quite nicely but I'm still more comfortable doing them over gas. It boils water like a champ and best of all, it helps keep the heat down in the kitchen, so as I learn how to cook without lifting the pan off the cook surface, I'm sure I'll use it more and more, reserving the gas range for roasting, broiling and Winter cooking.

The rest of it was bought more for a look, with the hope that they will function reliably and well, than because they perform especially well in any particular regard. On that dishwasher (I've only had it for a few days now) I've just pushed autowash and let it go. Someday, perhaps I'll figure out what all those other cycles do and maybe even use them. Even so, I have no performance complaints yet, and the fridge is doing just what I bought it to do -- sit there looking pretty and keeping a few things cold.

Loving everything so far.

I'm too lazy to get up and get my invoice

GE Monogram microwave with convection - does not cook foods well, always undercooked. For the price I paid should yeild better results.

36" GE Mongram range w/4 burners and grill - okay but takes forever to heat up.

GE Monogram hood
GE Monogram diswasher w/ hidden controls - doesn't clean very well, end up having to rewash the plates and utensils sometimes even 3 times!

Jen-Air SS fridge - okay but I liked my Whirlpool gold one better. More room on the doors and shelves, what a let down.
I didn't have a choice with brands for appliances (builder was Toll bros.) I'm moving and I am looking at Wolf and Thermador (had a Thermador in my last house and LOVED it)
Would NOT recommend a GE product to ANYONE of anything they sell.

Love them all!

Thanks to the collective wisdom of the GW community for helping us choose wisely.

Dacor cooktop PGM365-IS/NG
Miele Optima DW
Franke Double Fireclay sink
Ge Monogram convection Double Ovens ZET2PMSS or ZET2SMSS or
ZET2RMSS
Kitchen aid convection Double Ovens KEBU208SSS

Still deciding on:
Refrigerator; CD with ice and water in door
Microwave

If anyone has positive or negative things to say about any of these, I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

They're all absolutely outstanding, except that the hood is a little bit noisier than I expected.

I eliminated the KA Trash Compactor based on my readings here. With the exception of the coffee maker, all of my appliances have been chosen as a result of what I had read from this site.

Previous Choices:
Viking 36" DF Range, Viking 27" Wall Oven, Viking Microwave, Viking Warming Drawer, Bosch Integra 36" French Door Refrigerator w/Panels, KA Dishwasher Drawers w/Panels

It has been hard to give up the dream of the beautiful Viking appliances in Cotton White.

I love this blog. I am getting ready to build a new home and need new appliances. I will not buy any of the brands I have now since they are Whirlpool. I posted a long blog about my Combo and DW related to Whirlpool. In a nutshell: Micro was made in 2002 and Magnatron has shot craps 3 TIMES. 1st time after only 1.5 years. Last time I had to pay $700 to fix it. Asked WP for reimbursement of at least parts cost-told too bad so sad. DW control panel went out after only 4 mos (just got it in April '08 at NE Furniture Mart). We wanted a new unit since this is a major thing to go out. Attitude of retailer and WP was the same- tough. We only use the DW twice a week. It is not that quiet either.

Love my Amana. Too bad it is WP also. It holds everything and stuff is easy to find. Black glass top Jenn-Air is impossible to keep clean. STREAKY!!! Have to clean and clean and clean. Also, if anything splatters on it that is high in sugar THE GLASS MELTS. It leaves a big crater. Dials are placed in front corners at an angle and big pans can touch and melt them. Love the down draft fan. Very powerful.

Thanks to all who listed their brands here. I got a great list to look into for the new place.

Refrigerator: GE Profile CD/FD (PFCS1NJWSS)
Wall Ovens: GE Profile 30" DO w/Trivection (JT980SKSS)
Dishwasher: KA Architect® Series II (KUDS03STSS)
Microwave: Sharp MW Drawer Oven (KB-6025MS)
Warming Drawer: GE Profile 30" WD (PTD915SMSS)
Vent Hood: Vent-A-Hood® (SEPH18-242)
Cooktop: GE Profile 36" Electric Cooktop (PP962SMSS)

Granted, it's a bit of a mix of brands, but all have professional line appearance so it seems to work well. Will add more after a couple months of use.

Would also like to see the 2010 people revive this thread to compare/ contrast those decisions " back then" vs now

Hope this takes off the way the original OP got it going!!

Bosch 800 double ovens
Bosch 500 30' induction cooktop
Bosch 500 otr microwave
LG 25 c.f. 34.1/4deep french door fridge
Elux refrigerator drawers
KA fancy dishwasher

And the second microwave in about a month. Panasonic inverter to fit in a shelf.

Two fridges, two microwaves, double ovens and likely a Breville smart oven. All in a 10x18 kitchen. No art, no decor, all business, except for a flat screen tv and a laptop cubby. Very happy.

Viking cabinet depth bottom mount refrigerator: no complaints.

Zephyr vent hood (Typhoon series): It performs great. It is not too loud and removes steam and odors well. However, I have had trouble with contoller board twice in the 2 years I've had it. The first time it was under full warranty; the second time, it was a parts-only warranty.

Sharp Grill 2 convection/microwave: Very pleased. It is probably more versatile than I know. Need to read the instruction book.

Magic Chef wine chiller: Two zones. Does what it is designed to do.

Admiral dishwasher: This was purchased a couple of years before our kitchen remodel. The old one croaked and I needed something to tide me over until the remodel. The one I bought was an on-sale floor model at HD. When it came time to buy a new one, I didn't. Although this is an extremely cheap DW, it does the job and does it well, albeit loudly. I understand they are no longer manufactured.
