I really like Dacor a lot. My only beef is there seems to be more electronics on Dacors products than a NASA ship. Like over engineered. A lot of my customers with Dacor flip out on the repair costs. Generally to fix a Dacor Oven or range costs between $500-$1200. The control boards are astronomically priced and each unit has three or four.

They are great products when they work, I just like to warn people who are buying to get a home warranty or have a servicer they trust on call.

Sometimes stepping up to Capital or Viking will actually save in the long run. As they have less repair needs.

As far as functionality and options though, Dacor will give you the best choices, combined with great appearance. Their products look like a million bucks and that's what people buying that class of appliance want, stylish looks.

I could not agree with what was written here any more than what I do. He switched to viking after all of the problems which is what my grandmothers house is furnished with.
