I had a Jenn Air. I posted about it once before:
@Chris:My oven is a horrible piece of crap. It unpredictably runs anywhere from 50°F-75°F (10°C-24°C) cold. I spend a solid half hour adjusting it to get the proper temperature each time I cook. It has a digital control panel on the front that shorts out if it gets wet. I've replaced it 3 times, because (duh) occasionally things get spilled on the front of a stove. The digital clock runs about 2 minutes per week slow, so I reset it every month or so, when it gets 5 minutes or more off. The burner control knobs catch on clothing, the glass top cracked when I clipped it with a pot, and there are other, lesser issues. I hate it intensely, but the damn thing refuses to die.

I actually like Jen Air, and would install if I had a pier and beam home with a down draft. All our homes are slab unless it’s rather older, and even most of them Have ductwork for a vent hood. My grandparents had Jen air in their MCM house we sold of theirs and they worked like a charm.
Anyone use Thermador? I kind of like their intensely commercial looking kit in a residential
Space.I have a client who owns an appliance repair company and I asked her the same question. She said just buy Bosch and enjoy the warranty which will replace everything every 5 years. Which is accurate, as my parents had their dishwasher replaced in year 9 after their remodel,
And then again for free in year 4 of the second models installation. Whoever writes their warranties either 1. Is an idiot, 2. Has a misconstrued sense of German reliability… but I do like their stuff and will probably replace my broken GE dishwasher with a BOSCH if our house dosnt sell soon...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve always wanted an AGA Cooker. They are fantastic

^ smart lady. The certainly aren’t green or energy efficient but I might never leave the house if I had one of those.

The down draft was one of the things I hated about mine. It did nothing except pull the burner flame sideways.

For max, "I aint ever getting out of here", you need one of these (my gran had one in her farmhouse)….Hers was solid fuel and required a considerable level of commitment to keep going, but jeez, I loved it. But then again, I did not cook then, now I cook, an Aga is the last thing I would buy.... :o

Her new(ish) one runs on gas and heats four rooms so It probably pays it way. But that bit of the house they live in is a few hundred years old and was built around a hearth where the aga is now.

My first job after leaving school was assisting in delivering and fitting Aga’s and Range cookers…...heavy bastards and cost a fortune to repair. Most modern ovens in the UK are made by one company in India and simply branded for the market (my family mostly work in this field), and are all complete crap.....the cookers not the family.

I sourced a scratch and dent (notice a pattern here?) Thermador panel ready dishwasher that has been great! We received 2 notices regarding recalls and their service people have been great and we haven't had to pay a dime for any warranty work. I'm pleased with it and their commitment to their products. I was hoping to buy a Thermador fridge but never could find one for a price that worked for me.
As far as down draft ventilation, stay far, far away. They never work anyway nearly as well as a traditional vent hood setup…

The Jenn Air I have doesn't have the down draft. I actually have a Kitchen Aide over head outside vent.. When I'm home, I'll post a photo.

I need to set up a bank account in US. I have a company and an EIN and all that. I know that I will physically have to visit to actually open the account. Does anyone know anyone at a bank that would be able to help me? I wnt to fly in with all the paperwork and data I need, get it sorted and fly back out again. Location is not particularly important.

Does Haraki san have a warehouse sized closet where he keeps one of each item for himself?
I couldn't imagine if I were him NOT keeping one of everything…..
Yes - the "Staff Only" areas of the Hachioji store are where he keeps all his clothes and all 10+ of his Harleys…

What size t-shirt does Haraki San wear? And could someone provide an address to ship said t-shirt to?
