So, from a style point, Bosch can sit flush and is sleeker, but the KitchenAid doubles as a slow cooker, also has a proofing mode that comes with the insert trays. To me, it’s a bigger bang for the buck. Bosch I usually sell when going below one of their ovens, so it matches. If that is not a factor, here I would push you to the KitchenAid. It just has and does so much more!
Induction is awesome technology! It’s like the range you have but on steroids. Super efficient, fast heating, instant response times. The downside may be the fact only ferromagnetic cookware can be used. So you may need to ditch some favorite pots and pans, but in my opinion, it’s well worth the sacrifice. GE makes plenty in this category, just a little delayed due to the supply chain. So order early!
So, that Miele unit is not a true steam oven. It just adds moisture to help keep foods from drying out. I would opt for a true double-oven with a separate steam oven in this case. The steam oven’s primary function is full-steam cooking to lock in nutrients etc. The better option here! The new Wolf dual fuel with the Wolf Gourmet is a great unit, one of the best on the market!
Is it ok? Sure it’s a good unit. But compared to the Bosch unit, say the Bosch 800, there is a big difference in noise, the way it washes, components, and reliability. It’s a mid-level dishwasher. I know Bosch was on backorder everywhere, so it’s a tough call. Can you get a KitchenAid unit? The 404 or 604 is really quiet and washes great. I just think you’re going down a few notches here.
10% plus the promo should be anywhere but you need to ask your dealer. In the US the builder fills out a form its very easy. As far as the panel nothing to be worried about, can it break sure, but I just sold a Wolf and it needed a new panel it happens but nothing that stands out to me as a continuous problem. Good luck!
If you mean like their professional style appliances, such as a 36″ pro range or built-in fridge. Yes, they are American-made and of high quality. For the price point, they are excellent. Don’t forget Sub-Zero and Wolf are made in Wisconsin! For higher-end units, and Viking is made in Mississippi. A Few more choices on all American made!
So the Frigidaire or Electrolux twins serve a purpose, almost 40 cubic feet of space. They are awesome but don’t confuse them with a true built-in like the JennAir you mention. There is a quality difference. The columns can be built in flush panel ready and come as large as 36″ wide each. They will have a better cooling system and by design be more reliable. I sell the twins all the time as it’s a fantastic price point, but for a true built-in fridge, not just a counter depth with a trim kit. Get the JennAir and take advantage of the promotion. They offer a 10% discount as well for builders so don’t miss out on that.
