I hope I'm not to late to warn you! DON'T GET KITCHENAID!! I remodeled my kitchen 4-1/2 years ago and all appliances were KitchenAid. Beautiful to look at. I just replaced the range because the oven wouldn't turn off and ended up burning itself out. I got a GE Profile. The microwave works perfectly, but because the outside is all plastic - even the "stainless steel" - it is warped, cracked, and I've had to replace the handle twice at $60 a shot. For a PLASTIC handle that's supposed to be used over a stove! I've had to call for repairs for the dual-drawer dishwasher at least three to four times a year each and every year. The refrigerator has worked okay except for having to replace the icemaker.
The old appliances in this house worked okay when I remodeled, and I thought I'd get good service with top-of-line KitchenAid appliances. I've never been so disappointed with goods in my life as I have with this group of appliances. Althought I can't really afford it, I will also be replacing the microwave and the dishwasher with ANYTHING else other than KitchenAid. I just can't believe anything else could be worse.
