I am completely over hauling my kitchen. I am gutting and starting
from scratch which means I get to purchase all new appliances. I have
spent hours researching the internet, including consumerreports.org,
to help me with decisions regarding appliances. I have done plenty of
in store browsing as well. I am looking for high end appliances. I
am looking at brands such as Viking, Thermador, Sub Zero, Wolf,
Kenmore Pro, GE Monogram, etc. so this should give you an idea about
budget.

What are your opinions on Viking cooktops and wall ovens ?
Specifically I am looking at the 36" gas drop-in cooktop and the 30"
designer series oven.

Anyone have any knowledge or experience with the Viking indoor grill?

In general What are your opinions regarding Kenmore Pro vs GE
Monogram? I think I like the stand alone Kenmore Pro Fridge and
Freezer combo that when put together using the trim kit looks like one
unit.

If you were willing to spend up to $1800 on a dishwasher, what would
you buy and why?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
