I need some advice and opinions on buying some kitchen stuff.

Long story short, I am doing some renovation work at my house soon and am deciding on which items to get for my kitchen. So far, I am getting a viking oven, a sub zero fridge, probably getting broan range hood, but am a bit torn on a dishwasher and other stuff.

Whats the best dishwasher, Bosch or Miele?

Is Viking the best oven?

Is sub-zero (not the mortal kombat character) the best fridge?

The oven is going to be a 60 inch viking with grill and griddle, is this the best choice?

I am kind of torn on which sub-zero fridge to get, between 648 pro ( a side by side, I wonder if I can fit a pizza box in there? and 736TC (I), a top and bottom type fridge.

Also what is the best range hood out there, and is there anything I am missing or not thinking about that I should also be getting?

Also, not just the best top of the line companies, but also what are the best models?

Our Advantium makes GREAT baked potatoes. If you turn up the time a couple of extra minutes, it even gives the skin that crisp, baked kind of feel to it. The super-hot lights heat instantly and cook the outside while the microwaves cook the inside. It’s nice to have baked tators available as an afterthought. Tonight I had just started a couple of steaks on the grill and yelled at my wife to throw a couple spuds in. Everything was ready at the same time

I am pretty much sold on the advantium, but there is more then one type, I am looking at the one thats the "above the cooktop" model# SCA2001KSS, but still getting some folks telling me to go for the wall oven version.

I haven't decided yet, but I do know the 240 version is the one I should look at, I am going to ask for feedback from freepers pretty soon, and see what they say and know.

FWIW, I love baked potato's and bacon and would eat them every day if I could could, if this can do that, I am sold.

Speaking of sinks. When you buy the faucets, go with Kohler. They are the best for the money, and every single part has a lifetime guarantee, with the nicest customer service I have ever encountered.

You got it right, actually I am adding 2 bathrooms, one of them is definatly going to be all Kohler (my parents won't use any other company but).

my second bathroom is also going to be almost all Kohler, except that for me being weird, and also having an unusual sense of humor, I want this remote control toilet, and am willing to spend extra just for the sake of scaring the hell out of my friends, if Kohler has one of these, then I will go with them on both.

I know it sounds weird and strange, but a little laughter, is really funny. Actually, the second bathroom, I want to remote control everything, just for the laughs.
