If I had 10k to spend on an oven, I'd get an Aga:

| Depends where you are. In my neighborhood $1.2M only gets you 2,000 modestly updated sq ft. If you're in a suburb where $1.2M gets you a much bigger house that all have $30k with of appliances in the kitchen, then this seems reasonable. |

| We just redid our kitchen in our about 1.3 million dollar house. I cook a lot so I picked appliances that I know will be very good - but aren't as "fancy" brand wise. I think I spent about 12k total on all of them. |

| You need to tell us the neighborhood. We live in a $1M SFH in CCDC and those appliances are probably out of line--and we just redid our kitchen last year. Have higher-end appliances (Bosch, JennAir, KitchenAid, etc.) but not Subzero and $10K fridge appliances. (I am an avid cook, btw.) Most homes in the neighborhood are in the $900-$1.3M range, and most have LG french door fridges, gas ranges (nice, but not AGA), Bosch or Kitchen Aid dishwashers. |

CR highly recommends the Bosch for dishwashers. We don't have spots on our dishes. |

I agree - We just got a Bosch 500 series dishwasher (after having another one in another home and loving it) and it is great. I love the 3rd rack for the utensils. It is quite as a mouse and the dishes are squeaky clean. For the cook top I would check out Thermador over Blue Star. |

I'd personally go for a Blue Star or Capital Culinarian range because I prefer the open burners. And a great hood.
As long as I have a functional fridge and dishwasher I'd be happy. If you can afford it buy whatever makes you and your wife happy. |

agreed. yes there is sometimes still water if the top of the cup has an indentation, and I think the inside may be smaller than some American brands. but otherwise no complaints and the QUIET makes it all worth while for me. |

| I recently bought a $1.4M home and did the entire kitchen over. Spent $19K on appliances. Feels like the right $ amount for the home. |

| My house cost half of yours, but I did not buy a $6K refrigerator. That's insane. |
