Miele and GE Cafe compete in the premium level of dishwashers. The companies could not be more different. Miele is a family owned company and GE is one of the largest multinationals in the world.

Because it is so efficient, you do not need added venting requirements like a pro range. You can even downdraft an induction cooktop, which you can not do with a professional rangetop. I truly love this technology and love showing it.

With summer quickly approaching this may be a good time to compare two of the best small window air conditioners. We will be comparing our two best sellers, Frigidaire and Friedrich.

30-inch gas cooktops can vary with four to five burners. If you so happen to be looking for a new 30” gas cooktop at this moment, I've narrowed the choices between the industry’s best. All of these brands have strong histories in the appliance world.

The French door has quickly become the most popular refrigerator style, far surpassing the single door bottom freezer, the side by side, or the old stand-by, the top freezer. However, there is a new phenomenon in French door doors, the double drawer or 4-door refrigerator. We will be comparing two of the most popular, LG and Jenn-Air.
