KitchenAid Review

Oh…. KitchenAid. What can I say?  I love these guys. While I think there are appliance companies that appeal more to the cheffy chefs across America and abroad, I think KitchenAid is a solid, good appliance for even home chefs who want some bells and whistles with a price point that fits in your oven mitt. They like to be on the cutting edge with new features like the Steam Assist Convection ovens offered in 48″, 36″ and 30″ duel fuel ranges and wall ovens alike.

Dacor Review

Dacor appliances were founded in Northern California in 1965 when the Joseph family,  who owned and operated a small  local appliance store since 1933, decided to expand on their passion for cooking and invention.

Get the appliances that work best for you! And yes if you have just always wanted that Wolf Range but the other Wolf appliances and/or it’s sister company Sub Zero’s refrigerator just doesn’t fit into your budget, then mix and match!

And if that means…….. A KitchenAid dishwasher Continue reading Appliances: Do they need to match?

Bosch Review

Bosch Appliances:
Bosch is the perfect example of German engineering for a mid range product. They have an obsession with performance and efficiency. They have long been known for the quietest dishwashers, so much so that everyone has tried to copy them. A few have succeeded but they were the first to perfect this. Their ranges and stove tops  have a high BTU of 18,000 for an extra high heat and an extra low simmer function Continue reading Bosch Review
