Though for that commercial, they should have spent another $5 and at least finished the top of the cabinets. (Hint: Look at the top of the cabinet under the cook-top.) Allen |

Maar, potjandorie, Rob!! Where is there more info than the Youtube video? Such as how much and where to buy? It appears "concept only" at this stage of the game. Although no self respecting coonass would cook on an electric stove, that one did pique my interest. After all, we do like cooking gadgets, and that appears to the Mother of them ALL. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

How about a similar concept, but with a honeycomb of little gas burners? Probably be a BITCH to clean though... -- See Nad. See Nad go. Go Nad!

Wait 5 years and they will go the way of plasma TV. The pricing is up against that phenomenon called: "Screw that, too rich for my blood, a $ 500.00 unit looks just as nice and when do WE ever need 21 different pots and pans." Or this old chestnut: "Too much can go wrong." Once the tooling matrixes and silkscreens are paid for (no biggie IME) they have to be able to sell them. I expect an expensive, but short, honeymoon, then a serious price drop IF the thing even gets out of the gate. You can charge only SO much for 'cool' for only SO long. My guess? $ 3500.00 initially. |

Agreed ... but lot's folks don't seem to blink at $3.5k these days for a cooktop. Current kitchen job has a 48" Capital gas range being installed that is twice that. (I was tempted to send them the video last night to see it "The William" might be of interest in lieu of the Capital ... I just want to play with it.) -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

The range we're looking at is a bit over $2500 but it'll cost around $1000 to get gas to it (the propane tank is on the opposite end of the house). We're debating whether it's worth it, or just stay with an electric range, also $2500. $3500 isn't out of sight, though I'd be afraid of its reliability around lightning.

But, there have been too many changes on this job already (there is a high dollar "designer" who's whims must be appeased, despite the impossibility thereof), and the range is purchased. AAMOF, I'm picking up the vent liner and motor blower on Monday in preparation for building the vent hood cabinet, which is going to be a PITA ... I HATE the idea of building a frameless Euro style cabinet enclosing that kind of baggage, but it's all the rage, donchaknow! It's always something ... -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

I blinked heavily when the front office gal at the dentist's office said she wanted $2,243 to do a root canal, post'n'prep, and porcelain w/ high noble crown on -one- tooth. My jaw is still bruised. I may wear a mask and go armed into the next medical office.

That would seem a fair price for the oft overlooked Optical/Rectal severance surgery. You know the one. The surgery that improves one's ****ty outlook? |
