GE, Electrolux, or LG??
Comments (17)Negative reviews Electrolux? Look at the post right here, then go back to the main appliance page, most the reviews you see for the Electrolux are positive. You will also see a post by a user that has the GE, and the oven will not self clean and one of the burners on the stove doesn't work properly. I can't "Personally Speak" about Electrolux gas products, but I can tell you that their Electric Convection oven, Their Speed Oven, Their Induction cooktop as well as their Wine Fridge have been great and trouble free for over 3 Years now. Apparently one of our posters missed who owns who regarding Electrolux---so----I will repeat it. Electrolux owns Frididare and markets that label (usually at the lower end). All of our Electrolux appliances are built solidly, the easy gilde slide out racks on the oven had no problem holding a 19 lb turkey, even when fully extended. Electrolux was (and still may be) the largest and one of the longest lived appliance manufacturers. The Remark that an Electrolux is a Suped up Fridigare really sucks!!!! Maybe that poster got too close to one of their vacuums and it "Sucked em Senseless"¿ "LG Makes good Electronics" I bought their DVD player/recorder, I also recommended to 3 other ppl to buy it as , at the time, it was one of the few that did "DIVX" Well 3 out of 4 of those have broken now, one trashed, and Mine soon will be. Read the reviews on the LG Fridges, they dont even know how to turn off light bulbs in their fridges. Anyway, think you are wise to rule out LG, but dont be too hasty about Electrolux---just cause a poster here can't discriminate between "Sucking and Cooking" Gary...See Morewhat goes with birch blond cabs in a 60s ranch?
Comments (4)I'm no expert on the material, but cork seems pretty soft and easily damaged for a home with busy cooks and young children? That's why we eliminated it. Instead we went for Marmoleum Click, which would also be mid-century appropriate, and has a cork backing for the resiliency. It's very family-tough. It comes in a variety of colors, and would help avoid the wood-tone joining wood-tone challenge. Is the honey colored wood in the dining room you're referring to the flooring? Have you brought home something from the IKEA line to check the color with the existing wood? So far, it seems like you have a fairly mild and neutral palette with which any colors might look nice, depending on the look you'd like. Do you want dramatic and strong? Lots of contrast? Bright? Calm? Energetic? Elegant? Will you have few or many uppers? Will you be adding good lighting? Will you have undercabinet lighting? Do you have a backsplash in mind? All of those things will affect what colors might work best, and how light the kitchen feels. We need to know more about your plans and preferences. :-)...See MoreLayout help (eat-in kitchen with 3 doorways)
Comments (5)That would be a good option -- especially since we'll be upgrading our tiny fridge for a bigger french door style one before we do a full reno. It won't fit where the current fridge is anyway....See More60's Kitchen in Need of Update - please help!
Comments (22)I could recommend a few tweaks to the layout, if these were individually-built box cabinets. From what I can see, though, they are very solid job-built custom cabinets. These are so much nicer and better quality than the standard builder grade cabinets used most of the time now. I agree with those who say just change the minor things for now, and save up for a total renovation after you live with it for awhile....See Moreruthanna_gw
