KitchenAid KESS907SBL 30" Architect II Series True Convection Electric Slide in Review

KITCHENAID RANGE COOLING FAN
1. This KitchenAid cooling fan starts blowing as soon as the oven is turned on, and runs until the oven is turned off, or the convection mode cool down completes.
2. This range cooling fan exhaust area is 8" above the floor and 27" long and reaches at least 5.5 feet out from the front of the range.
3. Anyone in the kitchen while this KitchenAid oven is in use, is subject to a "breeze" on lower legs and feet.
4. The KitchenAid fan exhaust breeze may not be as aggravating in cooler weather, but possibly will be a major issue in warmer weather.
5. Based on friends with competitor ranges, this KitchenAid cooling fan is louder, more annoying, and distracting than those models. We had to increase the volume of the TV in the kitchen to compensate for the fan noise.
After using the oven just once, we told the dealer that we wanted to exchange it for a different manufacturers' range. We would not recommend that this KitchenAid model be considered.
KITCHENAID RANGE CONTROL PANEL
1. This KitchenAid control panel design is awkward and inconvenient. The front panel is tilted at a shallow angle, close to vertical. This makes the panel more difficult to observe and operate when cooking at the range top or using the oven. In order to adequately observe and correctly use the control panel, you have to stand back from the range or bend down/crouch down each time.
2. This KitchenAid control panel is located directly above the oven door. With the oven in use, opening the oven door, allows moist, hot air to billow out and up onto the control panel. Moisture condenses on the panel...and drips onto the floor.
3. Yes, you could wipe off the control panel to control condensation every time that you open the oven door, but this increases the opportunity to touch a control point and accidentally modify a setting.
4. A reasonable person could question what effect continual exposure to steam and moisture will have on the useful life of the panel and its electrical components.
POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE - Easy to accidentally turn "on" the controls.
The shallow angle of the KitchenAid control panel (there's that panel issue, again) positions the top cooking element control knobs very close to where you will be leaning when you reach up to an overhead cabinet. It is very easy (critically easy?) to contact the cooking element controls - push one in - and turn the knob into the "high" position with a slight twist of the upper body...and have a burner heating up quickly. We were in the preparation stage (nothing in the oven or on the top cooking elements) when my wife reached into an overhead cabinet for something - turned slightly to the side to place it on the countertop - and accidentally turned on a cooking element. It is frightening to imagine what could have happened to a cooking magazine, cook book, food carton or towel placed on that cooking element had we left the kitchen area for even a short period of time.

Bosch 800 Series : HBL8750UC 30in Combination Oven - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've just remodeled my kitchen and had this unit installed. I've been cooking with it for about a month. Overall, the quality of the oven/microwave is quite good:
* it preheats quickly
* the extra deep pull over rack is handy
* the convection microwave is quite useful for small cooking tasks
There are a few small things that seem a bit silly, but are driving me crazy:
1) The oven beeps are extremely loud, I had to turn them off as the entire house could hear me turning on the oven
2) Every *single* button press on the oven panel is delayed by 1/2 a second. You keep thinking the unit isn't turned on but it's just slow! You'd think a $3000 oven would be able to respond to button presses.
I even called the support department and asked about anything I could do to help the situation. A very nice woman that worked for Bosch explained that this is a common complaint, she unfortuantely had no suggestions. As the unit is already installed in my home and is basically working, it's a bit hard to return at this point so I'll just live with it but I wanted others to know about these unfortunate design flaws.

Thermador : PRL366EG 36 Pro Grand Gas Range Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought I would do this as a service. I bought the 48inch outdoor grill with wok, with warming drawer, with side burners, with rotisserie, with subzero ice maker, with sub zero fridge in an integrated assembly for use in a semi-covered outdoor BBQ setup in Maui. I think the cost was over $20k and it was installed by the Thermador factory representatives. Everything was installed 5 years ago. I'll just go through a quick litany of issues. The fridge has had to be repaired twice, the IceMaker has had to have fans installed even though the specifications say that it can be installed with minimum clearance. The ice maker usually produces soggy ice - right near melting, and this is during winter months. We have had service people - also authorized work on it at least 7 times and we are presently having to put in more ducting and fans. The igniters have failed three times. The rotisserie has failed twice requiring about $300 in repair each time. The warming drawer needed complete replacement in the 2nd year and all of the fittings and electrical were deeply rusted and corroded. On top of this, I have never liked using it as it seemed uncontrollably hot. This is an LP conversion from the factory and the proper orifices were installed. When we brought up the problem to the installer servicer he first tried to solve it, but then said "they are all like this - there is no control". Last year I finally started to see if I could solve the problem and found that the continuous "infinity" adjustment controls on the front actually had no control - only on and off. They are market Off -Lite - Hi - and Lo. But none of the 3 zone controls adjusted the flame at all. We figured that something had been improperly installed. Integrated as part of this on the right side are two side burners. They work well, with continuous adjustment, as you would expect. The same with the Wok. I started probing more deeply and went back to the original manual for this model as well as two others in the series and it said that all burners have infinitely adjustable control. I finally went to the installers manual and saw the phrase: "LP options in the 48" inch version have no control". This was obviously discovered after the units were designed as whatever the problem that arose that kept them from offering this feature in the actual deliveries of their product - EVEN THOUGH THEIR INSTRUCTION MANUAL DESCRIBED IT AS A FEATURE - a feature that makes the entire BBQ useless if reasonable control of heat is important in your cooking. As I have gathered more information trying to figure out what to do next, I have learned that on Maui the authorized service men are recommending to people that they DO NOT BUY THERMADOR/BOSCH. It has been 5 years since I purchased this, so I don't know if I have any ability to claim damages, but it was never capable of fitness for use, so possibly there is a chance at some recovery, but my intent now is to warn people away from this brand. I have been doing some research and see that these are not isolated problems and that there are many brands superior to Thermador, some at quite a savings. - Just using this as a forum.

GE Profile : PB975TPWW 30 Electric Range - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The two ovens are both usable. The wide coursing of the heating elements produced uniform heat in both, even when placing a baking sheet on the bottom rack position. But for this price, you darn well should get a few extra inches of heating rod. That said, the fancy extra features have turned me off. 1) The control buttons. There is an array of 9 and an array of four buttons for the upper oven on the left, and a symmetrical array of 4 and 9 for the lower oven on the right. The arrays of 4 are identical; that's good. But in the larger 9-button arrays, only the warm button is in the same place on the two arrays. The buttons you will typically use (bake button, oven light button, broil, etc) are in different places on the two arrays, and so even once you are familiar with the oven, you will be hunting and pecking. 2) The manual. It reads like a computer software manual ("for the pizza feature, select the pizza button"). It does not explain why you would want to select a "pizza feature" instead of just using "bake". Is it hotter? - No, the max temp is still 550F. What's the difference between the separate settings for fresh pizza or frozen? The manual says that "1" is for fresh, "2" is for frozen. Well, that certainly explains it to full intellectual satisfaction. Moving on to the slow cook settings; neither the manual nor the oven display reveals the temperature, but you are asked to select among four types of food and two heat levels. I used a calibrated oven and a long temperature probe to measure the temperature of 4 quarts of water, heating in a 5.5 qt ceramic slow-cook covered pot. When set to "stew" and "Lo" and "7 hr cook time", the water reached 202F by 2 hrs, full simmer of 207F at 2.5 hr, 203 F at 3 hrs, and then dropped slowly, dropping below 200F by 3.5 hr. I don't know of a cook , hoping to retain nutrients and proper food texture by a low temp slow-cooking method, who would choose to nearly boil the stew for over an hour. Using 2 quarts caused hours of frank boiling. When I tried the "beef" and "Hi" setting on 4 quarts of water, it reached 209F by 2 hr and dropped to 200F only by 3.5 hr. Any beef would be cardboard texture by then. Moving on to the "roast convection", this has nothing to do with roasting (which involves an oiled food in a uniform very hot oven). Instead, the top heating element comes on, which if not used very briefly, will char the topmost part of your otherwise evenly browned food. It is best used when one wants a broiled effect, but desires to keep the door closed. As long as GE won't engage the consumer by providing a mechanistic explanation of its dozens of settings, I would plan on using the ovens only in broil, bake, and convection modes.

GE Profile JV666HSS 36" Under Cabinet Range Hood with up to 410 CFM Internal Blower, Vertical or Rear Exhaust, Four-Speed Fan Control and Halogen Light: Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would give this hood a 5-star review, but the metal grease filters, which protect the exhaust fans from accumulating cooking grease, occasionally fall out and onto our cook top. It has happened in the middle of the night, waking us up.
I've had GE technicians come out 3 times and have called consumer relations. GE consumer relations were not helpful at all. They said a technical manager would call me back to discuss it. After a week and a half, I called back and they told me he hadn't gotten to it yet. Five and a half weeks after my original call to consumer relations, the customer service person briefly talked with the technical manager and came back with a solution that didn't make sense (not even to the technician who eventually came to try to fix it). She would not let me talk with the technical manager directly.
The "solution" they came up with was to bend the grease filters out of shape in order to "make" them stay in place. I think there should be a better solution than that.

Whirlpool : WFE381LVS 30 Freestanding Electric Range Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first foray into a convection oven & a glass top, I'm hooked.
This is a nice looking oven/stove. While it's somewhat easy to clean there are trade offs from the old burner style. The glass top & stainless steel need to be wiped off regularly as they show any goofs readily. The old porcelain ranges & old style burners hid smudges & messes well but when it did come time to clean it was a big job.
The glass top will scratch if you're not careful. If you use cast iron a lot you might not want the glass top. I have a large cast frying pan that I use carefully but I've still managed to scratch the top. I assume it's from my cast iron cookware even though I've checked everything for burrs on the bottom & haven't found anything that I think would scratch glass....?
The dual zone burners are great for sizing to the pan/pot. The largest is 11" & heats my 12" cast pan great!
In my opinion the oven heats a tad slow and boiling water on the top could also be quicker but maybe I'm expecting too much.
The electronic timer doesn't turn off the oven like & hoped. You can accomplish the auto off but it takes more programming.
The storage drawer is a joke. It closes crooked & jams unless you use two hands to keep it perfectly straight. The drawer is not as deep as it could be & things will fall out of the back of it easily which means you'll be on your hands & knees fishing baking sheets out from under your oven. It's very cheaply made. I don't understand why they cut some very serious corners here.
