 The American kitchen is expanding.
High-end appliances by Sub-Zero, Bosch and KitchenAid have become integral parts of kitchen remodeling projects of all designs. John D. Marcella recognizes that every household is unique and every kitchen reflects a unique blend of individuality, creativity and practicality.
Refrigerators
For the gourmet consider the dashing and superior performance of Sub-Zero which has separate compressors for the freezer and fridge plus humidity control.
For the active family, you need something large, cold and affordable. Consider a KitchenAid model which will accommodate your family’s needs not only with its ample storage space, but with its affordable price.
For the sophisticated, you require a stainless-steel look with the slick appearance of a built-in, so feast your eyes on the Whirlpool GS6SHAXLS with Satina finish. It delivers Sub-Zero good looks for a nominal price.
30-inch ranges
For the gourmet seeking a unit with a gas stove and electric oven for more even cooking, consider the KitchenAid KDRP407HSS to cook evenly and quickly. "I have a KitchenAid, and I love it," says Emily Luchetti, executive pastry chef at Farallon in
San Francisco
.
For the active family, you’ll need a high-powered unit to cook dinners on the go. The Maytag MGR5765Q with one 16,000-BTU burner will do it. With flames that are 68 percent more powerful than those on a standard stove, it cuts the time required to boil water by a fifth.
For the sophisticated, a heavy-duty look and a quality oven. You'll want to check out the Bosch HDS25, since it offers dual-fuel (gas stove, electric oven).
Dishwashers
For the gourmet, you’ll need a machine that won't destroy your good china after dinner parties. Consider Bosch's Integra Vision it is extremely gentle, but powerful. It even has a Party Wash cycle, which cleans six place settings in half an hour.
For the active family, you’ll need both the capacity (your family knows how to dirty some dishes) and silence (between the phone, the dog and the kidsquiet please!). The Maytag Jetclean II has three racks, with the space you need and the price you want.
For the sophisticated, you need stainless steel, let’s face it. Have you considered the KitchenAid KUDI01FLSS with stainless steel inside and out? It’s dapper and dependable, and has an exceptional value.
