We recommend Dishwashers by Whirlpool.

I am always asked what to buy so here goes: I always recommend Whirlpool products unless you want the best like Sub-Zero and Wolf.

There is no substitute for Sub-Zeros as they keep your food fresh. I do not recommend the 700 series built ins unless you just like the cabinet style. The standard Sub-Zero never let you food get colder than 34 degrees and that keeps them fresh. All other refrigerators and brands use -21 degree air to cool the fresh food and it zaps all the moisture and value out of the food spoiling it. The others also bring the warm smelly air into the freezer causing freezer burn and spoilage there. Sub-Zero is the only one that keeps your food fresh and freezer at zero.

Wolf is a remarkable design (new) and will guarantee the final result every time. I use both the Wolf oven and refrigerator my self.

Washing Machines:

I only recommend Whirlpool (Kitchen Aid) front loaders (DUET). They only use 4 gallons of water per fill and a Table spoon of HE soap. HE Tide powdered soap is an enzign that eats the dirt and has special conditioners and suds killers that allow the front loaders with low water use to work properly. Liquids including washing machine detergents only dilute the dirt and etch off the surface of the fabric threads Be sure to select extra rinse to be sure that all the residue leaves the items. Also ball up the items so they do not tangle when you load the machine.

Dryers:

Again I recommend the matching dryers (Whirlpool DUET). They pay for themselves, because they are so efficient. The DUET washer and dryers use almost half of the energy of old top loaders of five years ago. The DUET dryer is high capacity and low energy and will compliment the DUET washer in preserving the condition of your fabrics.

Dishwashers:

Again, Whirlpool and at least the Gold model. Preheat the water at the sink so you start with good hot water to save energy. Use Cascade Complete Powder. Powder only has suds killers and proper softeners and rinse agents. Liquids including washing machine detergents only dilute the dirt and etch off the surface of the fabric threads.

Ovens and Stoves:

Again Whirlpool except for Wolf. Some like gas, I like electric, but when it comes to ovens Electric is always better and they clean better. The new ranges have duel fuel now with gas burners on top and electric convection ovens on the bottom. I always recommend and use convection ovens,

Microwaves:

There are some new types called rectifiers, no transformers. They are expensive, but pay off in being able to cook more like a regular oven. You can very the power to very the heat for all kind of cooking even softening butter. The popcorn pops every kernel too.

Mine is over the stove and recommended.

Compactor:

I do not use them and prefer a new insert that holds bags for wet and dry garbage as well as recycled items.

Disposers:

Insinkerator is the only brand to get and have great in home warranty. They also make instant hot dispensers.

Hot water dispensers:

Insinkerator makes them in many styles now and they save energy. They only use the energy that it takes to heat three cups of coffee or tea a day and provide instant 190 degree water 24/7. Some models come with a filter for hot or cold water at the same faucet. My model even has chilled refrigerated water as well as hot; it saves on ice.

Refrigerators:

Whirlpool and their lines, unless you want the best then it is Sub-Zero. Ice dispensers are a plus today and worth the extra.

Sinks:

Kohler

Where to buy:

Lowes

Hope you enjoy all the new stuff. Oh, That old refrigerator that is 10 years old is robbing you blind. They are using $400 to $500 dollars a year to run. All the new models only use about $50 to $75 dollars a year to run and pay for them selves in no time. Some electric companies even give you money to replace them on top of that; you can't loose.
