Mine broke. Can someone recommend a good brand? Looking for quality/reliability.

Last one was a Thermador. Didn't last, bad reviews, will try another brand.

Consumer Reports doesn't have much to go on. Epinions not helpful.

Very few comparisons online.

Thanks

Wolf/Sub Zero.

I've done a few kitchens, can't go wrong with KitchenAid. The architect series is very good looking, with Whirlpool reliability. The KitchenAid in-wall double has handles that match my Thermador fridge (fridge also made by Whirlpool).

Not that great on reliability. The mfg has a product warranty, but I won't warranty the labor to replace them when they fail. Warranty on KitchenAid = no problem.

Wife is set on a GE oven.

I've always hated GE products - electronics, etc.

She wants a GE Profile something something.

Wolf hasn't gotten good reviews, reliability, design, etc.

I have a Subzero fridge, but I'm completely unfamiliar with their ovens. Whirlpool, KitchenAid - not concerned about the warranty. I want one that won't need any service.

The Subzero web site is shared with Wolf; I guess Subzero and Wolf are owned by the same company.

Yes they are. I am a builder and have not had any bad feedback. Our stuff is fairly new build though.

My point was you won't have to worry about a warranty with KitchenAid. They rarely if ever need anything. That's why I cover the labor if they ever do need to be replaced. It's low risk for me.

The Wolf / SubZero have a poor track record, so it would cost me too much to come out and replace them if one of my clients had them.

Most of the high-end brands send out someone to work on their product in your house for the first 1-3 years, but after that, you're on your own - you take it to their repair center if it's still under warranty, or you pay extra for in-home service. I gurantee my work, including the equipment I install, and I can't guarantee the Wolf or the SubZero.

The GE Profile is OK, but it's rather pedestrian if you're comparing to Wolf, SubZero, Thermador, Fisher&Paykel, etc. The GE Monogram is their high end now, but it's not too hot either.

Thanks for everyone's help. Much appreciated. Showed the thread to the wife, and she's less insistent on the GE! :rocks:

Glad to help. Forgot to mention Bosch - they're getting very good reviews, have some good looking stuff as well. Maybe a little more high-brow than KitchenAid, but you really should look at KitchenAid's high end Architect series. It is very classy, with loads of features.

Ooooh! I saw an ad for a TurboChef oven and it looked sweeet!

I don't think I've seen 'competition orange' on an oven before.
