Looking for everything. Range, Microwave, Fridge, Beverage Cooler, Dishwasher. We have a mix of bitchin' stuff here but I'd like to go with one Bitchin' manufacturer. The style I like is a Thor Kitchen but they don't seem to have good customer service reviews.
I mean, most manufacturers that produce everything are a Jack of all trades, masters of none. Samsung might be your best bet for one stop shopping, but I don't like their gas equipment.
I'm open to having mixed appliances if that's the better route.
i completely agree with eldritch - look for the best, regardless of mixing brands. wrt to gas cook tops - have had several, and always hated that they’re hard to get low enough heat to simmer without a simmer plate. finally found a thermador that has simmer settings on 2 of the 5 burners. awesome. dishwasher? bosch - whisper quiet + third shelf at the top. never knew how handy that would be. fridge? all i can say is NO ICE DISPENSER IN THE DOOR. get one that has an auto filled tub in the freezer. other thing I’d recommend is a warming drawer. our house came with one, and i thought it was silly when i saw it. love it now. never have to worry about food being ready at the same time. use that damn thing all the time.
yeah - false advertising. but PFAS and PTFE don’t start to break down until 500f. you can get a great sear or char around 400f. and they’re no where near as delicate as other non-stick cookware. if you think you’re going to push the envelop, IMO, nothing beats enamel coated cast iron. when i bought the hex-clad, i got rid of everything except the le creuset.
