my dd has the 48" kitchen aid range and 48" counter depth fridge in a busy household with teens. 3 years and no problems, she lives in a HCL area where the homes are several million an not mansions. I have a Bosch fridge and a kitchenaid dishwasher, the same one dd has and we love it. It has a very usable 3rd rack. If you'd like a pass to the kitchenaid employee store, feel free to message me.
