2-year old Kitchen Aid appliances

[goprog]

Looking at 2-year old Kitchen Aid appliances. Waiting to get
the actual model numbers (fridge, electric stove, dishwasher,
microwave). I'm told they are/were top-of-the-line. But of
course top-of-the-line doesn't mean they have the best features
between manufacturers.

Any opinions before I consider them or make an offer?

If there is a KitchenAid TOL dishwasher, watch out. It's a tall-tub machine. I have had experience with 3 of those machines and they are the WORST dishwashers I've ever used. Even when we preWASHED the dishes, and set the thing on the longest cycle possible, glasses came out covered in spot and bits of food, and the silverware was covered in bits of food. Very very poor results with those machines, they just don't have enough power to do anything but drizzle water on the dishes, no where near the required scouring!

My home had a new Kitchenaide dishwasher with the stainless steel tub ... it was horrible. After two or three months, I pulled it out and gave it away and bought another Bosch. I can say that my Bosch is a serious cleaner and I continually try to challenge it with tough loads. Todd
