and your gas stove?
We went with induction. Works good. Electric oven is awesome. Would rather have my old stove though.

That thing was killer.

apparently NG prices are dropping
Winter is starting to wind down and by the time they process a new NG contract it's 2 billing periods then it's already spring so miss the big savings - I hope they rot in hell

Nice range.  Our house has a separate cooktop and wall oven, and when we upgraded the cooktop a few years back we went with one of these:

Speaking of appliances, we need a new dishwasher (again).  The LG that came with the house sucked, and the Whirlpool we replaced it with has almost completely disintegrated in the 4 years we've had it, what a disappointing POS it turned out to be.

So... any recs on a solid, well built dishwasher that will last?  I'd like it to be quiet but other than that I don't really have any preferences on features, I just want it not to fall apart.  And I don't want to be doing this again in 4 years, so at this point money really is no object.

Yeah I think you're right about that.

My Maytag washer and dryer that I bought in 1994 lasted 20 years.  I didn't even need to replace them, my wife just wanted more modern, prettier, front-loading ones.  So we gave away our old ones to my nephew and replaced them with the front-loading Maytag equivalent, and the washer started having problems within 3 or 4 years. We bought the full warranty which saved me almost $1000 on two separate occasions but now the warranty's out and the washer is acting up again.

Ugh.  I hate modern appliances.

This is thread-related because modern appliances claim to be more eco-friendly.

But if you're throwing them in the trash every 4 years, I'm not sure that works out.

We went with Samsung stuff. Stove is on the island and the oven/mic combo is in the wall.
