Alexr, That's interesting to hear what you had to say about DCS. I've only bought residential stuff from them for clients, and so far, I've not heard one negative thing about them, other than being a bit harder to clean than the...

Peachcreek, I had a raclette set for one dinner party and got rid of it. Not worth the time, trouble, or effort. Don't know about the other gadget. Good luck, CMVnatural.

JCarr, ColdTech makes a 40CF model (30CF refer, 10CF freezer) that has a model number ending in BQ. This is for an extra-quiet set of compressors (to compete with SubZero). FYI. CMVnatural

Windknot, I meant to say customer and warranty support. Go to www.epinions.com, and look at their customer comments on Viking and you'll see what I mean. The other big advantage for Wolf is that both their grill and griddle use...

Windknot, If it is at all possible, I would highly advise you to change your order for the same type of range from Viking to Wolf (preferably) or to Dynasty (OK). The price is about the same, and both Wolf and Dynasty ranges are...

Dbassist, Good news for KitchenAid! Yeah, they're one of the few brands of the "commercial-type" stuff that is more user friendly (like oven timers). Do you get enough heat in the burners, and does the convection oven work...

Panini, OK, I went back and looked at DCS' website and see the cooktop you're looking for. I think it's OK, so long as you really think you won't have the need for a grill. As far as a griddle, I'd recommend getting one that fits...

Panini, On the DCS 36-inch cooktop, make sure it's the newest model with the 17,500Btu burners and whether or not you want the grill, griddle, or 6 burners vs. the 4 burners plus griddle or grill. On the Vent-a-Hood, for a 36-inch...

Dbassist, I don't know much about Zephyr hoods, other than most internal blower hoods are very noisy once you get past 600CFM. The Vent-a-Hood are unique in that they "push" the air through the vent pipe versus...
