Arrived in Socttsdale one week ago. Scotsdale is just north of the City of Phoenix.
These were the appliances in the small one-bedrom suite.

Whirlpol Gold Microwave-convetion oven.
30 inches wide
Stainless- steel interior.
No turntable
Heavy duty rack, with plastic insulators, (to keep it way from the metal walls).
Convention settings:
Broil 450*F (with a preheat and a signal when hot).
Bake 350*F
"Combination" Settings
Bake- 350*F
Roast- 325*F
This is where the microwave and the convetion oven take turns every couple of minutes. (Ddo both at once).

Suggested serving. LOL
Everything at higher altitude DOES really take longer to cook. I swear--- cross my heart and hope to die.

OK well, I showed you the cooktop so maybe I should get a close-up of that too.
Here it is with the back larger HALOGEN elemet engergized.
There are two tradional (ni-chrome?) elements in the center-of, and surrounding the halogen one.
The heat-control clicks into "fixed* (non-cycling) heats and it seems to be the old GE style connecting the various elements to 110 and/or 220 and changing connections of the "coils" within one element to be in parallel and in series with each-other.
There are, of course, heat limiting swithes to prevent the "glass" from melting, so in that respect, yes, both elements do cycle on and off.

Now we move on to the 18 inch wide (40cm) ROPER badged dishwasher disributed by Whirlpool, but I believe it is made by Electrolux (Sweden) that calls itself Frigidaire. *SIGH*

There were shards of glass sticking out of the holes in the lower wash-arm. (See it there on the right side?)
Cleaned it. Did not charge-back the resort. LOL
Plates were Fiesta ware-- FABULOUS

AH- a Whirlpool thin-twin 24 inch wide (60cm) stacked top-load washer and dryer.
Luckily it is the 220 volt version and as a result the dryer is fast (+/- one hour).
[Yes that is me in the mirror- moslty dressed!
Did you see my banana?]
Now no poking fun at my $1 detergent. It worked and I didn't get a rash.. LOL
