Appliances

Opportunism reigns (I figure I have all summer to troll the floor-model specials) but here are my tentative picks for the other appliances:

Microwave:
 

GE Profile over-the-range convection microwave (ignore the MSRP). This is the mini-Advantium, smaller and cheaper than the wall oven but with all the features - it bakes and microwaves at the same time, if you want it to, for super-quick space-age cooking; and it's said to be a good enough oven for cookie making. Originally I wanted a double-oven range, and this seems like a graceful compromise. I'd be happy to take it in white if I end up with a non-stainless stove.

Range:

Fisher & Paykel, 5 burners, convection, no digital controls, and as little stainless steel as possible for a "pro-style" range.

Dishwasher:

Sigh. I'm still torn between the cheaper GE Spacemaker with great reviews, and the Bosch with better resale value. Maybe there's a third, happier option out there.

I'm moderating comments because I got a lot of spam recently. But don't let that deter you if you're a real person with something relevant to say!

About Me

I just bought my first home - an estate-sale 1BR prewar co-op on the UWS in Manhattan. It needs a new kitchen, a new bathroom, new windows, and the parquet floors restored. (Other than that, it's perfect!) This blog is for sharing my renovation ideas and adventures with friends, family, and fellow renovators.
