I could use some appliance recommendations..

[TBM]

...researching from my phone is tedious, and any input would be appreciated.

Because we are having some electrical work done now, I am being asked to make some decisions for our future kitchen reno, so that we can get the work done all at once and save $$$. I feel like we are going at this all sideways. lol

We are looking for gas cook top recs, as well as double oven/microwave, and counter depth French door fridges.

TIA

We bought a Dacor gas cooktop. The price was great and it has a pan underneath that is scratch resistant. We really like the 5 burners and the look of it as well. Our double oven is cheap and sucks so I don't recommend that. We opted for a side by side in our kitchen.

Thanks! What is the brand of the double oven to avoid?

For the cooktop, this is what I have: www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/KFGS306VSS.html. It's only 30", but it's nice and works great for us. We also have 2 plug-in induction burners.

Double oven: I know a lot of people hate on Ikea appliances, but they're Whirlpool/KA. I add that it's KA because when I had to look up specs for my ovens before they were installed, I found the item number through KA (and the Ikea item shared a manual with the regular KA item). That being said, my Ikea ovens are awesome (I have 2 of these installed side-by-side: www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50182205/), and based on my experience, I would buy their appliances again.

Budget?

Gas Cooktop --- close burner -> Wolf; open burner -> Capital

Oven --- Electrolux Icon OR Wolf

Builtin Microwave --- Sharp

Refrigerator --- no recommendation.

I came in here so ready to recommend my appliances because I love them, and then I realized none of mine are what you need. We have a range and a non-counter-depth fridge.
