Best 48-Inch Induction Ranges You Can Buy in 2024
I'm wondering just how much of an improvement true convection (SKS, BlueStar) is compared to single convection (Wolf, Thermador) in a gas oven. Is it significant enough to be a decision maker or just a marginal improvement? Thx much.
Does anyone make a speed+steam oven?
If the setup costs you mentioned are a large part of the cost, they should only occur once whether it’s one panel or 6. Then it doesn’t make sense for one panel to still be $1000. Seems like an insane amount.
Thank you! We just started using our Bosch dishwasher and this is very helpful.
Appreciate the insight. I’m buying a fridge, stove and dishwasher. Making sure it’s LG
I’m in the market for a new dishwasher. I don’t put my knives nor pots / pans in the dishwasher. But I can not make up mind on which to get. I don’t care how long the cycle time is necessarily. I just want it to wash good & dry good. And to be serviceable. I’m looking at Asko, Miele, Bosch, Thermador. But I think they’re made by KitchenAid?
So i understand that in order to get two compressors you have to look at the series 800 is thus correct? What are the differences between the Series 100 (Home Depot) vs series 300 for Lowes? How are the ice makers in Bosch refers? Are they noisy? Where are series 100-800 refers made?
I’m remodeling a kitchen and contemplating between a Thermador or SKS package. A paneled dishwasher is critical for the design. Are you saying the SKS panel ready dishwasher will NOT sit flush with the cabinets? Thank you!
We just had a Bosch 500 series dishwasher and wall oven installed to go with European flat front cabinets. Very important to have flush mount appliances! Looking forward to more information on use. It's important to be sure the installers understand this design concept. At first the oven was sticking out because they had a bunch of extra cable behind it, we had to ask them to redo it.
Customers want a great dishwasher at a very low price. They are shocked when you explain the difference.
Interesting information. You might want to do another video interviewing a designer and asking when to panel and when not to panel a refrigerator. I'm struggling with that decision right now. Thank you.
I don't want to be "responsible for the planet" that's the problem with appliances today. Im not looking to save the world. God didn't call me to. He called me a good steward. I don't want to have to use assigned detergents or aids that have toxins that I drink because the residue is on the glass. I want to be able to use non toxic soap or aids an that's never considered in reviews or suggestions. Give me heat and water and dont force me to "save the world".
I'm glad I did 30 inches.
I would rather hear about reliability instead of lots of seatings I’ll never use better pumps better construction ect
What about the new 95 series. Having a hard time figuring out what more the 95 gives.
I want to put this one next to a wall and know I need a big spacer or a pull-out cabinet. Please, could you tell me the most minimum "pull-out" width I would need to install against the wall to put this refrigerator close to the wall and still open enough?
Our 30 yr old 48” sub zero is still working perfectly (except for the ice maker). I will replace it with another sub zero, no question.
With the pedestal though, you lose a convenient place to fold laundry. And front load washers are prone to musk and must and mold.
Any, regardless of the manufacturer have problems with the freezer rollouts. They still haven't improved the track and rollers. Maintenance issue.
I have enjoyed your presentation but wish you would never leave out the reliability and cubic size of the options you focus on. You mentioned the reliability of LG, but not the other two.
Noted. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful. Curious if you have any recommendations for laundry pedestal
Each washer and dryer has a pedestal that they are recommended to be used with. You don't mix and match.
I've read that some laundry pedestals cause certain brands to shake more than they would on solid ground.
That's not something we've seen. It sounds like potential installation issues.
@@applianceadvisers Thanks
The information y’all provide in ALL your reviews is invaluable! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
What does "the best" mean? The best looking? The best in size? What? To the consumer "the best" means MOST RELIABLE.
Great information always beneficial
Thanks for watching
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I have the cast iron Aga and would never go back to conventional ranges. The roasting and baking ovens work magic. Can’t figure out why more Americans haven’t discovered them.
Ordered the entire suite, hope I made the correct decision!
Great reviews and breakdown of these ovens. Thanks
Our pleasure!
the 36 is so nice over a 30 even when using two pans. Just having that little bit of extra room when cooking 2 things is so nice to be able to move pans around or take something off the heat
Thank you for the excellent suggestions!
You are so welcome!
Straight to the point, no bs! ❤
the dispensers are removable so the placement isn't bad.
got mine today,let you know soon.
Thank you for this great video. What models do you both have at home?
Thank you for informative video. A video discussing the backend servicing claim processes for other major manufacturers, such as LG and GE, would be great. Weighing such processes with a brand's reliability would be also helpful.
Thank You Great Job God Bless It Helped Me Incredibly. 😊
Thank you for watching.
Both also good.
I love my Lacanche. The oven, the cook top everything is perfect. I don't know who these people have been talking to.
Is he saying “drawer”?
😂
Yes, that the way they speak in New England!
Than I you for your good review. I dont like it that so many places that sell any appliances have sales people that really are not knowledgeable obout how anything works or differences in companies. Good stores need more qualified sales persons
Will not by again, it’s a label trap, broke after 5 years, parts back ordered with no ETA.
I appreciate your willingness to tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly about appliances and the appliance industry.
My range has a warming drawer but I have never used it. Sounds like I should!
I have 2 Bosch diswashers in my home that we've had for the last 15 years. Both have performed flawlessly and had no repairs. I highly recommend Bosch
I bought a Bosch. It ran good for about 3 years. But around the 3 year mark it started having LOTS of problems. After multiple service visits, the technician wrote it off as unfixable. I have found that Bosch is not that good. Not buying Bosch again.
Super video, per usual. Could you please do a video on the best undercounter ice machine, with a focus on ease of cleaning?
I'd personally be scared of the commitment for a built-in, but I'm sure it looks nice.
Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful!
Glad you think so!
