Over the range microwaves seem like a good idea to centralize
your cookings and they're also cheap to buy and are generally reliable.
However, You cook mostly on your front burners.
Those burners are twenty three inches from the back of the range,
while this over the range microwave extends just twelve inches.
Let's not forget that the over the range microwaves under
power to three fifty CFM while those front burners on many gas
ranges are overpowered at fifteen to twenty two thousand
btu even on a regular range.
So all those fumes that you've been reading about,
the nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide fromaldehyde in a
particular matter, are projected right into your room.
And your new energy efficient windows,
keep it in your house longer because there's no draft to let them out.
This new older range microwave is one of the appliances you
need to avoid this year. Don't worry. We have plenty more.
Importredibly, my parents have a black stainless refrigerator.
I'll beat it in their garage. However,
how is this fragile finish still available?
It can scratch easily and peel right off.
There's no fix for it. It's not covered under warranty.
Samsung is the last holdout with our tuscan bronze. Or I've
seen coffee, meal truffle bronze, jenn air oil rubbed
bronze, cappuccino, almond,
and other brown finishes fade quickly as a trend. Why?
Because the brown doesn't match well with anything,
even with brown cabinets.
The new popular color is white.
The same popular colors when I started in nineteen eighty six,
back then it was white on white.
Matt Black is the next most popular. Try it with a
copper or brass accent.
You don't see all green orange or red matching clients as much
these days. However,
seventy five percent of all blue star ranges bought at Yale
are in one of their custom colors.
So put a pop of or whatever non brown or non black peelable
stainless in your kitchen for a unique look. By the way,
you can always panelize most of your appliances as well and just hide them.
If you buy a French door refrigerator pro range,
you will need service within five years.
Yet extended warranties are not the aggravation.
Ninety five percent of the dealers do not have a service department,
so you'll be routed to a call center without a service department.
That's where the problem begins and ends with you giving up.
Buy an extended warranty only from a store with service or a
dedicated service agent, or don't bother.
The new Bosch benchmark dishwasher is one of the
quietest in the market at thirty eight decibels with
their power control spray. Crystal dry using volcanic
elements. It's seventeen forty nine dollars. However,
the eight hundred series is forty two decibels with the
same main features, the thirteen forty nine.
If you want a quiet wash,
the five hundred series is forty four decibels at nine ninety nine.
You won't hear a dishwasher forty four apples are below,
so don't go out of your way to pay for quietness unless you're
also getting other features you want.
It's hard to believe my mom washed for a family of five
with an old maytag top load that was two point three cubic
feet of usable capacity.
And I could buy this mega capacity five point eight cubic
foot LG for nineteen hundred ninety nine dollars on the website,
mega capacity good at five point eight to six cubic foot
until you discover you paid over one thousand dollars more
from point eight to one point three cubic feet.
Four point five to five point three is the average size of a front load.
The smaller capacity is also less expensive around
promotions often has better features.
Look at this Whirlpool Kitchenade in January range.
It's the same range.
Kitchen aid and gen air units have convection and warming
doors and slightly higher VTUs.
Their refrigerators are nearly identical as well.
But the prices are way higher for the premium labels.
It's say the same thing about gene profile cafe appliances,
except cafe as the color combinations,
which is why people buy it anyway.
But many brands market the same products produced by the same
company, like microwave draws made by Sharp. In this case,
by the least expensive,
which oddly enough is this Becca at fourteen ninety nine
with a five year warranty. On the other hand,
if you're selling or flipping a house,
better brands can help you.
Some people commented with no kidding when I wrote this last
year. However, we use that steam oven and if you buy it,
how the coffee system. We keep it filled and clean.
The answer's probably not.
And spending eight thousand dollars on both may not be a good idea.
Most refrigerators have two evaporators,
so the air doesn't mix between the refrigerator and the freezer.
Whirlpool has a one compressor system with one sensor in their
refrigerator and freezer while the better LG has a two
compressor nine sensor system. Temperature's managed better,
and you don't have the warm air from the refrigerator landing
in your freezer.
Your ice cream won't heath like whatever is in your refrigerator.
Guess what? You don't pay more either.
The only exception would be the LG counter depth max,
which is three point three to seven cubic feet bigger than a
standard counter depth.
Also has other features to keep the temperature consistent.
IS, the speed of a gas stow top with even baking of an electric oven.
Except inductions much faster than gas with a far lower
simmer. You also have less emissions to them.
It's also simple to clean because the top doesn't get
extremely hot like an electric or gas burner.
Lastly induction can't be turned on accidentally even by
the most Suri's children,
the magnetic burners need to sense metal.
A straight gas stove is better if you like to roast or boil
due to its moisture heat. If you like this video,
click the subscribe to keep up with future things to avoid.
Do a Google search of professional ranges.
We'll see names like Fourno and Bertazone ranked first on some
dubious blocks, you'll be enthralled by the prices,
typically fifty to sixty percent less than a Wolf of
Durham. That is until you start cooking.
The burner outputs are much less powerful.
Royalers are less than half the output and are not the infrared
types that you would expect. The girdles are electric.
However, once again,
they look good if you're flipping a house,
but the performance is incredibly lacking.
I went to our national show Cadiz for the first time last
year in probably ten years. It's amazing to me to see the
new unproven brand too many to mention in this video before
you buy that good looking product online, see it first,
then ask about service if you wanna be shocked.
Problem is power. Placing forty million gas ranges require one
billion more amps or at least to convert to the forty to
fifty amp electrical induction types of over thirty three
million solar panels.
We only have three point nine million installed as of a
couple years ago.
Your home will require added electrical capacity wiring to
handle the, the added power of an induction or what stove.
Cost is roughly three thousand dollars per home.
You can find electrician to do it.
I have an article in the process that you'll find in the
links below. I like the induction range.
Or massive band needs to be rethought.
Iron industries in recession now,
every manufacturer will produce to meet demand,
and now the demand is not there. Then again,
the manufacturer's torch you do with price increases and
availability issues from two thousand twenty to two thousand
way too. So we had it coming.
So now the sales are in a predictable cadence. Present's
Day, now three weeks of February, Memorial Day to July
fourth, now almost six weeks in May through July.
Labor Day is two to three weeks in August and September,
and Black Friday is now Halloween through Christmas.
To save ten to thirty five percent on these holidays,
maybe more as we will get more desperate. So buy an appliance,
if you can during these days, I vision next year will have
sales on even minor holidays like National Pizza Day.
This unit is designed to replace your hood with a
microwave hood. In some ways, the design isn't bad because
it's replacing an equally in a effective shallow hood. However,
the vent lacks the twenty three inch deep capuary to cover
those front burners you cook on most often.
Venting requires a hood to capture the smoke with a short
vent directly outside
that how effective are down drafts that do the exact opposite.
Down drafts of the 1980s and 1990s way of putting your
cooking on an island to entertain your guests by losing
the visual of having an overhead hood.
It was bad in the 1980s when the average burner was about
six to ten thousand Btu.
Now it's worse with the average Btu being twelve to twenty one thousand btu.
You have better kitchen design options like using a hood or
centralizing your sink on an island.
January finally discontinue is iconic yet in effective
downdraft range. However,
many manufacturers are introducing new downdraft
cooktops you know, high output ranges like a restaurant.
If you like to cook,
you need to vent properly like a restaurant.
It doesn't matter whether you placed a powerful down graph in
the back because high output burners are still on the front.
Still, the next two trends are probably the most dangerous.
You look on house or other online design magazines,
you might see a sixty inch range with no ventilation.
Even with an average gas range of fifty to sixty thousand BTU,
you significantly impact the quality of air you breathe
inside your house. Yet,
you're shown not to vent with a hundred and twenty thousand BTU range.
Lastly, recirculating vents treat the smoke and odor,
but not the more dangerous fumes off your stove. In some
cases, the air is blown back directly in your face,
always vent to the outside if you can.
Most retailers and brands don't for any help after the sale,
not even a single technician. However,
it's more important now than ever as manufacturers figure
out their new supply chains for more and more problematic appliances.
You'll see more problems with your appliances than ever in
the next few years.
So be proactive know who will be there to fix your appliance
before something goes wrong.
