DD didn't go with Wolf or Viking for the same reason. Sure, they star
in show kitchens - but those people don't cook so reliability doesn't
matter. My friend bought a NYC apartment a year ago that was decked
out in Viking (maybe it's Wolf) appliances and one of those two drawer
Fisher Paykel dishwashers. She hates the dishwasher drawers because
they are too small for her dishes and the wash cycle takes hours to
complete. The other appliances are crap too. She said she got a
recall type notice about the refrigerator door and called the
repairman immediately. He said the door hinge was about to give way
and there was a real possibility it could have broken off and fallen
on her foot. Can you imagine? Ugh!
