Many of these Luxury Appliance Brands are not available on the Western half of the United States. I am also a believer that some of the negatives pointed out are positives in other peoples' minds, such as no Wifi or even no clock or timers that are prone to failure. Some of us prefer the mechanical thermostats that have been around for a Century.

You have a point. La Cornue can cost $250,000 yet doesn't have a clock. However, Smart will evolve eventually into a worthwhile feature. Manufacturers should at least start now

It's the mechanical features that break, not the digital stuff, typically. My last fridge had wifi and all sort of electronic features but it was the ice maker motor in the door that failed 3 times.

Named our son Steven, as we never met a Steve we didn't like. And this Steve is A+ on the reviews. So nice to see this and so many of his lessons before the headache of buying the wrong product. Interesting so many like LG...Service providers on west coast tell us to run when it comes to that brand. The compressors in the fridge are the worst! Two Kenmore Elite (LG) fridges in 4 years. Not to mention all of the meat in the freezer. I like the look of LG, but will never pull that trigger again.

Its under warranty...get your money back

The LaCornue has a charming look and you could always buy a separate timer (finding a GOOD timer these past few years is another matter) and I actually prefer NO Wifi tied to anything beyond my computer, but the lack of a glass window on the oven is a definite deal breaker. There's a reason glass windows became very popular on ovens. Once saved our electrical bill hides (and maybe more) when noticed light coming from the stove through the window. Early-stage dementia parent had left it on. I really like the look and functions of the True Refrigerators and Freezers. Even got quotes for them and was ready to bite the bullet.... but they only have ONE service repair location in the entire metro Phoenix area and its pretty darn far away. Deal breaker. Am now trying to decide between Thermador and SubZero. Family had a SZ about 15 years ago and it turned out to be a lemon just once inside warranty and then again just outside of warranty, so am skittish. Both offer multiple choices for servicing with good reviews. Both are grit-your-teeth expensive. Thank you for your videos. I'm finding them the most educational for higher end products.

Love the videos - you do a great in depth review on these appliances. Would love for you to do a review on Thor, Forno and Z-line. These seem to be in a more affordable price range these days but not if they are not good quality. Thank you for the videos

I am not fond of any of those brands. Have you seen them?

I bought bluestar because they are closest to a true restaurant range as you can get. The clocks and electronics are the features to break.

Great range

Do not buy Monogram appliances. The Dishwasher I purchased lasted 3 years… the fridges compartments such as crispers and shelves cracked and were crazy expensive to replace…. the knobs on the wall oven have lost all the numbers so I have to guess the temperatures now…. I called GE and received zero satisfaction. Forget this product.

I have a thermadore pro grand and the free dishwasher that comes with the range. The range is 6 yrs old and caused me so many problems from temperature inconsistency to damaging my wall because the installer insisted we didn't need a back guard (we did). Seems like all the luxury brands are more for looks than every day use. My repair person said we are better off with a cheap brand and replace it regularly than an expensive one because they are all unreliable. :(

Not exactly true based in the 100,000 plus service calls we have done in less than three years

Highly considering doing an all-Monogram suite for my upcoming kitchen remodel, but some of the older reviews (especially for their refrigerators) scare me a bit. I could always go for the always-recommended Sub-Zero (planning on a 42" built-in), but it's about $3000 more.

What WOULD you say? Would love to see you compare the 30" glass door fridges. You said once about spending much money and getting a great fridge or spending less and getting a good fridge. At nearly ten grand, which isn't dog biscuits, the Monogram® 30 in. 14.6 Cu. Ft. glass door fridge is beautiful to look at but I can't find a review of it anywhere. What other brand does Monogram compare to? Thanks.@@YaleAppliance1
