New Miele Refrigerators - HOT!
I haven't installed one yet, but I am dying to know what others think of the new Miele Refrigerators. The styling is beautiful and they seem to have all the accouterments anyone could want.
I love the bottom compressor. It makes the whole installation very clean looking.
These are among a number of RemoteVision™ products Miele has introduced that connect to the Internet wirelessly to report to owners when something is amiss and communicate directly with technicians at Miele when they need service.
As is my practice when researching new products I cruised to GardenWeb to see what people were saying about Miele refrigerators. My search results yielded several threads and some dispute among the posters about who makes Miele's refrigerators and where.
Here's a thread about the KF1911Vi (the freezer on the bottom unit). The consensus seems to be that the Remotevision™ models are made by Liebherr, in Germany, to Miele's specifications, with Miele controls; while the other standard models (2) are made by Siemens, in Turkey.
Another entitled Miele vs SubZero Refrigerator, and a third: Any Experiences With Miele Refrig-Freezers ???
Sounds like Miele might have a winner here. We'll only know about longevity and service record in years, but Miele's track record tells me that it's very likely that Sub-Zero has a real competitor now.

New Gaggenau Slim Cooktop
The Gaggenau CE 490 electric cooktop is a great addition to any kitchen designer's arsenal of products for special applications.
If only it were an induction cooktop (sigh)...it would be even better.
The cooktop's 36" width and 13-1/2" depth make it ideal for those tight kitchens where anything else just wouldn't work. Using a custom shallow hood allows the cooktop to be placed in only 15" deep base cabinets, saving 9 precious inches for floor space.
It is also ideal for wheelchair users because all the burners are right up front.
Thanks Gaggenau!

CE 490: 36-inch ultra-slim electric cooktop
The sleek design of Gaggenau’s CE 490 electric cooktop does double duty in the kitchen, adhering to Gaggenau’s credo of timeless, modern design while offering the output levels of Gaggenau’s traditionally sized electric cooktop. At just over a foot deep, the CE 490 electric cooktop creates a new vision for the kitchen and opens up valuable counter space.
