For years the appliance industry fought off what the auto industry has been doing for decades: Memorial day sales. However times are tough and with every manufacturer fighting for sales, rebates become borderline ridiculous around major shopping holidays. Nothing proves this point more than the package rebates offered by KitchenAid and Bosch.
Both brands are considered to be on the higher end of the appliance spectrum before you start venturing into the professional lines. It's also great from the store perspective as these brands are labeled as the leaders in their respective dishwasher categories. KitchenAid being the American household name, known for their quality and performance, Bosch being the European major brand that has dominated the dishwasher market with quality and efficiency.
Following are two similar packages that we will be running for Memorial day (through end of the month for that matter). You decide:
 |
 |
|
|
KGRS206XSS - Gas Range Retail: $5,699 |
HGS7052U - Gas Range Retail: $6,239 |
Both packages have self-cleaning gas ranges (electric available as well) with high-end dishwashers, full depth French door refrigerators, and over-the-range microwaves. KitchenAid has 5 burners on their range versus Bosch 4 and a little larger refrigerator, but Bosch offers cleaner styling and a stainless top on their range.
The biggest difference between the two is between the dishwashers. If you prefer more traditional warming option of an American dishwasher then KitchenAid is an excellent brand and the best American dishwasher on the market. However the Bosch dishwasher will heat the water hotter and offers a third rack.
Which ever path you decide on, just like when buying a car, it’s best to consider appliances around holidays and the end of months.
