    $30k gets you a Tug kitchen. $60k gets you a @creepycoug Finance Bored kitchen.

    Who are you?

    What do you think?
    Looks like a @creepycoug lean but you seem to be entertaining a Tug budget.

    The Wolf/Sub-Zero name is worth the premium in product, prestige, and value.

    While a much smaller expense, if you don’t get a Miele dishwasher I’ll come down there and punch you in the throat.

    I more like an $1100 Bosch dishwasher kind of guy. Super quiet and gets the shit clean. I have a down draft range on a island. Might limit my options some.
    Second the Bosch dishwasher...my last one was a loud piece of junk. Replaced it with a Bosch and can’t even hear the thing run. Works great too, but we also rinse our dishes to be basically clean before they go in so it’s not like it has to do much.
    Bosch (and many other manufacturers) actually recommend that you don't do this. The particles of food and shit on your dishes act as an abrasive to better clean the rest of the dishes. My complaint with my Bosch dishwasher is that Bosch uses a filter screen instead of a garbage disposal style shredding impeller. So they tell you to put your dishes in dirty to help the cleaning process, but the dishwasher doesn't automatically remove any of that crap that doesn't fit through the screen, so the dishwasher builds up gunk and plugs from time to time. It's an extra task to have to periodically remove and clean the filter screen.
    Agreed, but the screen is easy to remove and cleans up quickly. The impeller and motor eventually get fucked up and the washer won't drain. That was the last one. Of course, if I weren't a giant pussy I'd buy the motor and install it myself.
    Same. I took it apart and was able to fix it, but it still kind of pissed me off. All to save a couple bucks on a motor and macerating impeller? Sure, it's not hard to clean the screen, but not as easy as not having to do it at all. Plus, the consequences of forgetting can be expensive.
    In your case it makes sense, given your machine head bias for things with moving parts. For us house husbands (hi @BearsWiin ), it has to be easy peasy. If we have to unplug the thing before we do the work, it's likely work we shouldn't be doing.

    I never found cleaning out the Bosch screen once every couple weeks to be a pain. @BennyBeaver why is Bosch evil? Are they like Krupps or something?
    Miele has the screen too.

    My hatred for Bosch comes from years of banging heads with them in competition for business. Fuck those guys.


    Like we say, fuck off.

    Don't skimp on quality. Our appraisal just came back 10% higher than even my most optimistic prediction, in large part because we invested in quality during our renovations

    also the market is fucking crazy right now
