Miele's fully-integrated dishwashers complete the streamlined look in a high-end contemporary kitchen. If you're looking for a 36-inch-wide pro-style range, consider the KitchenAid KDRU763VSS, $6,000, which tops that category in our pro-style range Ratings. In our latest tests, the 30-inch-wide Wolf DF304, $6,400, was a top scorer, and it comes with dual-stacked burners, continuous cast iron grates, and convection fans in the oven.

"Pro-style ranges don't function like conventional ranges, so they take some getting used to," says Consumer Reports market analyst (and professional chef) Michael DiLauro, who put in a Wolf range when he recently remodeled his kitchen. Wolf handles the cooking appliances, and its ranges have become synonymous with commercial-grade, with their trademark red knobs and distinctive name plate. In 2000, Wolf and Sub-Zero merged to form one of the most formidable names in pro-style appliances. The unit comes in stainless steel or integrated panels to match the surrounding cabinetry. In Consumer Reports' refrigerator tests, the Sub-Zero BI42S, $8,000, delivered super temperature control and its dual evaporators help maintain freshness. Bakke, is credited with designing the first built-in back in 1943, and he founded the Sub-Zero Freezer Company two years later in Madison, WI. Sub-Zero is one of, if not the, most recognized names in built-in refrigeration. The sleek, integrated look of a built-in refrigerator is choice for many luxury kitchens. Here are 10 favorites from our Ratings that have the requisite cachet-but also the ability to get the job done. Luxury appliances are as much about style and name recognition as they are about performance. But let's face it-no one is going to put a $400 coil-top electric range in their designer kitchen, even if it does simmer better than pro-style ranges in our tests. Some low-priced appliances actually outperform the priciest competition in our tests.
Consumer Reports' appliance testing runs the gamut, from entry-level units that might be right for a rental apartment to the high-end models you see in glossy design magazines.
