5. If I was remodeling my kitchen the #1 thing I'd like is a fume hood that ventilates OUTSIDE

my house. So many things I just won't make (at least, not inside) cause I don't want my house smelled up.

I already have gas stove but I'd buy a nicer one with at least one burner suitable for serious wok'ing, one that kicks like a damn flamethrower.

Gas vs. Electric Oven ... meh. I have a gas oven/stove, I don't hate the oven. I use the toaster oven way more anyway. I'd think one could find a range with a gas top and electric oven but I've never actually looked, so

Gas stove top though is a must in my book.

I also haven't been happy with most Samsung large appliances I've owned.

And think twice before buying a fridge where the ice-maker is in a small side-unit inside the fridge itself unless you REALLY research that nobody has problems with the icemaker in that particular model. In my experience, fridges with that setup almost always suck.
