Beware of GE

Not a huge distributed audio/video guy, but the house is structured wired in Cat 6 with a 1Gbit hub. The CEO picked out all the appliances, the lighting (the price of which almost made me faint!!), the tiles, the granite... well, everything, really. The ONLY thing I asked for was the coffee system and the structured wiring. Everything else I left it up to her.

Shaka and Taino (CEO) went the GE route with their best garbage disposal, dishwasher, microwave, stove and oven... never again. The dishwasher went down first - cost to repair was roughly the price of the unit new: replaced with a Miele (Dishwasher of the Gods and service by factory European trained technicians). The oven was next... the press button pad has failed twice... the rep said "looks like a little liquid got inside" to which I replied "huh, water in the kitchen. How could that have happened (in a really sarcastic tone)" - the part was under warranty, the labor isn't covered - GE charges by the job not the hour: Cost $240 per visit. Microwave: Vent collects dust and grease, then requires disassembly to clean. Stove - if you need high heat choose something else.

In hind sight, I should have gone with a Viking stove/oven, maybe stuck with the GE fridge but should have gotten a top/bottom instead of side by side.
