    Thanks for the tip. Does David have a store where I could view the merchandise before I purchase? I would like to see and compare the various models available before I buy.

    Thanks, David.
    I am not looking for the ridiculously high-end refrigerators and ranges like Kitchenaid and Jennaire etc. Rather, I was thinking about stainless steel or at least the smooth surface silver fridges and stoves that LG/Samsung market in the USA. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the “mass market” models of major US brands have that finger-print proof crinkled surface that looks insultingly cheap and low quality. Is it too much to ask for gringos to clean the finger prints off their appliances once in a while?
    Sorry about the rant, but my kitchen is important to me, and I appreciate quality as much as value. A convection oven might be nice for baking.
    As for the gas/lp range, I was thinking of having an outdoor gas grill/side burner for the high heat features of a gas stove so a nice electric range in the kitchen would be fine.
    For many of you who visit this forum I assume that you have walked into a Sears in the USA and seen the kinds of inventory of major appliances they have. Although they have economy models, they also carry moderately priced stainless steel refrigerators,
    ranges,dishwashers that don’t generally exceed $1,000-1500 each.

    Thanks Editer, Scott and Gringo Tico for the great tips. Aside from the energy conservation side of using public transportation (which I value), I really enjoy the people watching experience so that the journey is often as rewarding as the destination. Bob in DC
