re: Kitchen remodel appliance recommendations

Sloopy.

Check out Blue Star for the range - USA built & about as commercial as you can get in the residential lines - very robust - I did this not long ago & went BlueStar over Thermador. Now I won't even consider another Range, Rangetop or Oven in the future.

can't speak on their refrigeration or freezer units.

They are one of the only residential brands that make a French door oven. GE & Viking are the only others I think.

I have a GE Cafe line fridge & dishwasher. Dishwasher is great, other than the control panel facing came off, which I replaced. It's VERY quiet & cleans the hell outta everything. No real complaints there.

The GE fridge is nice. Not as much freezer space as I would like but that is what I was working with from budget perspective. Ice maker clumps up as well. Wish that was designed better.
