I’m so excited for this collab! I live in the greater Boston area and have been watching both of your channels since we started research and planning for our upcoming kitchen rebuild. Both great channels with good complementary strengths.

Thank you both for the info in this video. I started planning my kitchen remodel in March of 2024. We're on the cusp of bringing the plan to fruition. We just ordered our cabinets, we bought our Cafe Appliances during the Labor day sale. I stressed over the decision to install a built in double oven or install a slide in double oven induction range. After viewing the built in, I realized the built in is too much oven for us. We're retired and have down sized a third time. We're preparing our home for us to be able to age in place. As an older couple, in order to work in our kitchen, we needed more cabinets and a better kitchen sink. In July, I bought my Ruvati 33 inch work station. I have watched both (all) of your videos and have been able to make sensible decisions with regard to the way I will work in my kitchen. I am at the most painful part of the plan - waiting for the installation. Thank you both for all the information you share. You have helped me immensely.

Thank you, gents! I follow both of your channels and I have learned a lot in preparation for our eventual kitchen upgrade. I live in a townhouse and our stove vents into the wall between units, so a gas range is out of the question - can't vent properly. Hopefully by the time we have to actually purchase our appliances, there are more choices for counter depth fridges with dual motors. I wouldn't have know that without the info I learn from you two. Thank you!

Absolutely correct about the island seating. Luckily, we did not allow our GC to skimp on the island, as our architect had a deep bar-height overhanging countertop above the island backsplash in the plans. The GC would avoid extra slab width, special iron support brackets, etc. if they had convinced us to go with a narrow 10 inch overhang. But, I'm the "big guy" in our family and I knew that would not work. We ended up with about 16 inches of overhang (22" of total depth for the countertop above the backsplash) that works so well, that we can barely get guests away from the bar stools when we entertain. Getting the correct stool height and stools that were substantial enough to be comfortable was important too. One thing we learned on this last kitchen. We always use a 37.5 inch countertop height. That involves a 1.5 inch build-up on the standard cabinets. The build-up was trimmed with cabinet material and it quickly suffered from the steam from the Bosch Benchmark dishwasher. A stainless steel wrap above the dishwasher applied to the build-up trim with 3M VHB solved that problem.

Great video! Aspects that should also be considered: 1) Overhead or higher cabinet located microwaves are a danger. ER nurses can tell you the dangers of having to reach high to remove food from a microwave. 2) Whole house surge protection is great at the electrical panel, but I also prefer wall receptacle surge protection for my appliances as technology/electronics have become sophisticated, expensive and delicate. Again, another reference to hospital requirements where very sensitive equipment requires additional built-in wall receptacle outlet surge protection. In fact, I use hospital grade wall receptacle surge protectors for my appliances.

2:33 You mention ceiling blowers, an interesting idea. I have an eight-foot-three ceiling in my galley, which would place the ceiling blower within the four-to-seven foot height above the cooktop.

Very interesting. I never put in chairs around my island. I figured I would spend all day pushing them in. You are the only people I trust about these appliances.

Responding to the island seating question also: my kids grew up sitting at our kitchen island and we have always eaten there more as a family than we did in the dining room. Even when we hosted friends, people just always wanted to sit there. It has ample overhang, though, and I was always really focused on getting comfortable seats that fit there well.

We use the seating at our kitchen island all the time, but it’s all counter height and the seating is 16” deep. It’s also 4’x9’ so there is a lot of room to spread out.

Never sit in an island kitchen. Never comfortable. I also don't cook like I'm at a Benihana. Closed kitchens need a come back.

This was an excellent video. Thank you, Steve and Mark. Open shelves, to us, are too much of a pain to upkeep despite the fleeting moments of aesthetic joy. Those kneecapping islands are also a pain.😁 We're gonna go to Mark's channel for the sister video. 👍🏾💙🤍❤️

Great work, Steve & Mark. The vast majority of people interested in a new kitchen do not understand the vital connection between appliances, design, installation, etc. Traditional kitchen triangle as the default plan is 100% dead, and it's definitely about work zones/concentrated functionality in well-designed kitchens.

Thank you for your videos, they are extremely helpful. Is downdraft ventilation better than no ventilation? Our kitchen is open to the 2nd floor and there's no place to install a hood over our electric range.
