Appliance Advisor

For those who are interested in the nuts and bolts of the appliance sales business, there is a wonderful site called Appliance Advisor that gives a real down and dirty view of that part of the industry.

"The electronic fish wrap for the appliance industry"
-Randy Rummel (ex)-President of DCS

There are innumerable resources there; for both consumers and designers:

Wanna look at every pro style hood known to mankind?

Recalls, rumors, Unilateral Minimum Retail Pricing, spiffs, a complete listing of appliance manufacturers web site links by category, it's all there.

Or how about The People's Cooktop Test for 2007?

Or Appliance Consumer Advisor that gives a rundown on all the online or magazine advisors such as Consumer Reports: "They do not review anything fancy. Strictly bread and butter big 6 brands plus a few more. Their system of blackened circles is a mite simplistic."

Have a look.
