You have a 41 year old stove. That is extraordinary. The fact is, I doubt they make them like THAT anymore.
But I will definitely look into Jennair for the gas stove.
Ixnay on the LG fridge and LG dishwasher. (What is the problem?)
What is the make on the washer/dryer?
Thanks. |
Shcisamax, I'm sorry to have been misleading. The Jenn Air we have in MI was bought in 2006. I meant it is my favorite stove of all the ones I've owned in the last 41 years! It is still on the market. We bought ours at Home Depot.
Our stainless steel interior LG dishwasher does a couple of things that I don't like. It sets up a reaction between the ss interior, the dishwasher detergent, and the ss silverware, which pits the silverware. I've researched this and found it is partly due to the removal of certain detergents from modern dw detergents, but also the chemical reaction from the ss interior, as stated above, is to blame.
This has been such a problem that while in MI, I hand-wash the silverware. I have not had that problem here with the Whirlpool dishwasher, which is ss on the outside but not on the inside. Also, the LG in MI never gets the dishes completely dry, even with the heated dry setting. The ss interior inside walls are always still wet, and the dishes have a lot of water clinging to them. I can truly say I dislike this dishwasher. My experience with LG overall has been negative. The salesman told us the ss interior would be a god-send because it would never rust. What he didn't mention was that it would rust the silverware, and never dry either! I could go further on this and discuss the quality of ss the silverware is made of now and why it rusts, but it would take some time.
suffice it to say that most moderately-priced ss silverware made from a third-world country (as most is these days), washed in a ss interior dw with modern day (no phosphorous) cleaning detergents is going to pit and exhibit rust stains.
I spent a ton of money to buy the best quality ss flatware from Sur la Table and have been holding my breath, but they have not pitted or marked in my whirlpool dishwasher that's ss on the outside but porcelain on the inside, using Finish Brand tablets. But I've had to give up my trusty Cascade Complete because of the LG dishwasher in MI. Food for thought.
