Kitchen appliance recomendations

So my folks are remodeling their kitchen and getting all new appliances, what are your recomendations on brands, models, etc? Total budget (and it could be more theoretically but I'm just guesstimating on what they want to spend) is maybe like $12k ish.
Their house is all electric and running gas to it isn't an option, but what they will need is:
Refrigerator
Range (needs to be electric, but what are your thoughts on induction cooktops?), and this may be a standup range and not get the oven below or a built in and do the wall mounted oven, not sure what route they want to go yet
Oven, preferably a double oven
Dishwasher
Microwave
The Jenn-Air stuff is nice that I looked at, but I've read some pretty bad reviews on their current models. The GE premium stuff looked nice as well, but the knobs were crap. They were all loose on all of the models that I checked out, whereas the Jenn-Air and Fridgeair models I checked out the knobs were nice and sturdy.

For 12K they could go all out. Commercial steamer and flat grill

Wolf and Sub-Zero would be great, but I think that would bring me pretty far out of budget though. Can you even get a Wolf range for less than $10k?

Sub-Zero way overrated....
Kitchen Aid for the win....

My landlord renovated the kitchen in my apartment before I moved in. I have induction range and it takes about 10 mins to get water to boil but it barely uses any electricity (rated as 9.6/10 on the EU energy efficiency scale). I have a Bosch electic convection oven that is rated a 9/10 on the EU it is awesome. It can cook a frozen pizza in 12 minutes and a frozen pork tenderloin in 40 minutes instead of the 55 that a normal oven needs (according to the packing).

Ok I just asked and their plan is to build a built in cooktop and double oven, so no free standing range.

i almost got the thermador range b/c it came with a dishwasher.... wife X'd that shite b/c she thought its looks would over power the kitchen. I got the new kitchenaid stuff instead. Its still has a good look to it and the kitchenaid brand has good reviews for their ranges and dishwashers. getting it installed and the gas line run at the beginning of next month. I did tons of research....
2300 for 30" gas range
right at $1000 for dishwasher
your looking at right at $1600-$2000 for a fridge
don't forget a new hood as well. could prolly get it for half of that budget....
that being said.... my buddy has jenn air and loves them.
a good friend has thremador everything and really likes them and the ex's parents had wolf and sub zero.... but wolf/subzero may blow that budget with the quickness
