First post here. ? Been reading woodworking comments and learning for about a year. ? Thanks to all for sharing their experiences and wisdom.?
I can comment on Dacor.?
Range is great.? Wall ovens have been a huge mistake.? Circuit board on both ovens failed after warranty expired and was expensive to replace.? Ovens have never been accurate on temperature settings, run lower than setting.? Have an oven thermometer in each to get the real temp. ?
Based on my experience I would avoid entire Dacor line. ?
Last refrigerator purchased was an LG in French door style on sale at Home Depot.? That has been great. ?

We have a 48" Dacor gas/electric range and a 42" Dacor built-in refrigerator. The oven(s) frequently refuse to hold correct temperature, stubbornly maintaining exactly 20-30¡ã low. Though, sometimes being exactly right. The infuriating thing is that if you set it to 500¡ã+ to kick on the preheat, the temp reads exactly correctly as it starts to climb, so the thing knows what the current temperature is. Not a calibration issue.
We love the extra space on the six burner cooktop, which is why we choose Dacor over Thermador or others. Most 48" ranges have 8 "small" burners. But the oven issue is massively annoying and we fought it constantly. Not great for a $12k appliance?

The fridge is made by Samsung and I've already had to put in a new compressor at 5 years which isn't great for a $10k fridge. My last Sears Kenmore was still going strong at 15 years. Other than that, we like it.?

I suspect all the brands have their issues. I would look at warranty and service options more closely if I were starting over.?
