I’m looking for the best of the best in kitchen appliances, including oven/stoves, microwaves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
Specifically, I’m looking for both appliances that are both reliable and top-of-the line. Money isn’t exactly an issue at this point; so anything goes. I’ve heard Wolf for ovens and Subzero for refrigerators but I don’t know much about these or other options.
If anyone has any personal experience or knowledge about kitchen appliances, I would appreciate it.

Wolf is best known for restaurant style stoves, often 5 or 6 feet wide, double ovens, 5 or more burners (including 20KBTU monsters that will boil water fast). They became popular in million dollar homes 10 or so years ago, and are still going strong — used to be all stainless, now they’re available in Forest Green, Chinese Red, Royal Blue, etc. Cost many thousands of dollars, and the kitchen must be designed around them. Subzero refrigerators are big, big, big, and expensive. Their claim to fame is that they can be fitted with cabinet fronts — that “built in custom” look. I’ve known them to be installed with the compressor parts far from the living space, to be really quiet. I install KitchenAid appliances in custom homes in the $400-500K range, and like them a lot. They’re the top end from the Whirlpool Corp, which is far and away the most successful appliance maker in USA. They bought maytag a few years ago for $1.98 Billion in cash. Electrolux (remember them.) is still around, still making excellent dishwashers. Bosch is very good, and the Asians are coming on strong — Samsung, etc. Are you the lady with the 2 staircases.
