Hi- now hanging in city alone while teenage girls are at concert at Radio City! Anyway- free time... So, my builder had a 10% discount at County Appliance in Stamford. Glen T. helped me. I would say to go there to get a 411 on different brands - what's hot, etc. I almost went with the new induction cooktop be it heats so quickly and yet you can't burn yourself by touching it. But I decided on double ovens, gas range top ( drawers for pans underneath) and microwave drawer. After all my research, asking for recommendations, etc. I think Wolf and Viking are very similar if you are considering 1 of the 2. I still think they are top 2, but you can find very similar for less. We had Viking in our (new) rental townhouse and I loved them. For this house, I got Wolf ovens and range, subzero refrig ( think its same company?) Asko dishwasher- it's good but don't love the touch control panel, sharp microwave drawer ( which, I was told, is "the" new thing- takes up no counter space, but eats up drawer space, so...) I actually liked the handles on Viking oven and non- touch screen controls better than Wolf. But... Wolf was offering a deal- if you got the 4 items, a range too, 2 ovens and refrig. - you got $1500 discount. So- I would advise, as follows: I). Go to PC Richard & Sons ( we almost bought there ) and get an update on what products are out there now- what deals coming up, etc. or another big appliance chain. EFTA00396300
