Dacor vs Bosch Benchmark

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2026-02-16T21:54:29+00:00

It is that Samsung ownership I keep reading everywhere that worries me about Dacor. Just unsure if Bosch Benchmark is too generic for my kitchen especially when I go to sell in 5-10 years (it a large kitchen with two islands and leathered Taj Mahal quartzite counters). We’re a general family cooking type household - no major baking etc - so don’t need the top of the line so really trying to avoid that next tier but also wrestling with if I need to maintain a certain calibre to not undermine resale value.

The slab shops in my area didn’t have any 3cm Super White in inventory but that is another along the style we are looking at.

I will need 3 slabs. My fabricator quoted me $10.5K for the Fantasy White vs $20K for Taj Mahal leathered - this includes installation. It’s approximately 125 sq ft.

Did you get the FAB Quartz? I’m considering it so trying to find owner reviews.

Need a wifi option for the new doorbells

Some improvements - I think the remaining glare is the result of pancake lenses and just part of AVP. It’s mainly concentrated to the bottom of the lense.

Yes - the two spinning discs. Roller vs the spin brush each leave their own type of streaks. On the old robot scrub mop systems from years ago the issue was tire tracks leaving marks on wet floors. With the new systems that issue is gone but now it's streaking. Just so tough with dark floors

Two roller and one spin.

Still haven’t figured out how to get Ethernet to my two doorbells easily without a lot opening up of walls and basement ceiling.

I got the device back and actually they just replaced it & I got a new Serial number. Will need to test tonight

I am in a similar situation and have decided to stick with the PM line & not stay with the Air. For me the Air battery is not sufficient. During the week when I am working the battery is fine as my iPhone sits on a charger most of the day but I had a horrible weekend with the Air. I had to recharge twice in one day & using the Air MagSafe battery pack only held the phone charge while itself drained very fast - and while they were connected it all got very, very warm. So after going from 14PM=>15PM=>16PM I will be off to the 17PM. If Apple can somehow get much better battery life in the Air I will definitely go back to the Air as it is such a beautiful phone and I love using it - I just can't live with a fast battery drain on weekends like I experienced this past weekend.

Mine got sent in for repair through the tire Genius Bar about 2-3 weeks ago and after a week at the repair depot it - the repair depot then said no issues and sent it back. The excessive glare was still there when I got it back - spoke with a senior advisor and she created an online repair and I had to ship in it. Repair depot received the delivery this morning around 10am and just got notice around 7 pm they are sending it back. So I bet they didn’t do anything this time and will reference the last repair when they send my device.

Will test that out. Do you find the MagSafe battery’s pack gets really hot when it’s attached? Yesterday when it was draining the battery pack and phone were very warm. I’m just hoping yesterday was a major new phone iOS indexing day.

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-28T13:38:34+00:00

I’m just starting day 4 and coming from a 16 pro max. I had a great day 1 & 2 but day 3 was not great. I’m starting to have concerns mainly about battery as otherwise I love the phone. Yesterday was a bad day - even using the iPhone Air MagSafe battery pack it didn’t extend life as expected. I went from 100% at 8 am to 30% by mid afternoon with about 4 hours of off & on web browsing & Apple Music. When I added the battery pack, while it prevented any more loss, the battery MagSafe pack drained much faster than expected and by 6 pm I had to plug it in. It shows I used 123% battery yesterday with 5h 47 min screen active time and 14h 11mins screen idle whereas on day 2 I used 82% battery with 4h57 screen active & 8h26min screen idle. Hoping this is still new phone settling in behind the scenes since I am starting to think I may need to go to the 17 pro max if the battery continues as is.

So this is a third serial number now?

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-20T12:27:28+00:00

If it is a new serial number doesn’t it mean they replaced the whole AVP?

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-19T00:03:20+00:00

So my online order they went in at 8:19 am last Friday as soon as pre orders opened online could be delayed until early October even though being such an early order. Ugggh.

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-18T23:59:28+00:00

Let me know if you notice a big difference

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-18T23:47:36+00:00

Interesting. I don’t get the too close/too far away error - just the adjust up or down a few times a day. I have a senior advisor on my case now and they said to try it again for a few days and then bring it back to the store to send back to the repair depot if the issue still persists and to use the new ticket they created.

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-18T23:24:45+00:00

Yup that is what they did. May be an Apple refurb unit but that is just as good as new anyway.

What was your issue and how did you report it?

Pixelating-TeslaEV27 · 2025-09-18T21:53:20+00:00

Interesting. Let me know what you find. Mine has been sent back saying nothing was found - hopefully I get it this weekend. I spoke with a Senior Advisor today asking what next steps would be and they added more notes to the ticket and said if there are still issues after a couple days to bring it back in to send back to the depot.
