Thanks for the info Daniel.. I have the Extreme Ice Plus (whew!), and like it
very much.. But I've been reading the list for half a year now, and haven't
heard anyone mention anything about Dacor.. 

And I know what you mean about the complexity of servicing.. The service tech
at my shop groans every year I bring it in for an overhaul. <g> Have you had
any problems with trickle leaks from the swivel ports? Thanks again.
