Reply to: Remember that the interior pullout construction will take up room, reducing the actual shelf space. A metal wire pullout will perhaps have more usable shelf space than a wooden one. In my small kitchen any size of storage is good storage. I would love to have a tall narrow pullout for my broom and dustpan. My lower cabinet pullout in a 9" space is made of wood and has only 5" wide shelf space. I use it for spices, but my flat pans could go there, and also could have boxed or canned goods. So, again, which do you need more? Do you have a very large family that needs lots of refrigerator room?

Reply to: I love my one level oils pullout but it is 12 inches wide in a 16 inch cabinet. First I was dismayed by the loss of width with the pullout, but it functions so well and makes all my Oils and vinegars so easy to find. The top pullout shelf has more than enough room for all my cooking utensils. There about 13 inches height allowed for the oils and vinegars. The pullouts are adjustable in height so that I can change them if I need to. My cabinets are 26 inches deep, so that the pullout drawer is 24 inches deep.

Reply to: I have two 6" filler pullouts flanking my cooktop. If it's a filler pullout, then unless you have large bottles of oil, I think a 6" will be fine. Note that mine are filler pullouts, not cabinets. Filler pullouts have more space than cabinets b/c they don't have walls - they attach to the cabinets on either side. However, if you have a range, not a cooktop, then you will probably have to use a cabinet. I don't know if a 6" cabinet will have enough room - measure your bottles and then check with your KD about what the usable shelf width is in the cabinet pullout. The usable shelf width of my filler pullouts is 4.75" - the actual interior space b/w the "rails" on each side of the pullout shelf. So, any bottle that's 4.75" wide or less should fit. Regardless of which you get, get one that has adjustable shelves. My KD company cheaped out on me and did not get me the one with adjustable shelves. My filler pullouts: .

Reply to: LOVE love love my pullout. It is one of my favorite kitchen features and the only thing I can say is wish I had done more of them. This one was just squeezed in to utilize otherwise empty space. Had I known how amazingly efficient it is I would have put 3 more 12" wide ones in the pantry. I love that nothing can ever get lost on these shelves. You can access from both sides - perfect. Ours is 12" wide so doesn't get too heavy, tupperware modular mates fit it perfectly although I am ashamed to admit I didn't think of that, it just worked out that way. Our cabinet maker attached one of those toe kick openers so it stays closed and "locked" when shut. It's in my baking center so when I need something, just pop the door, get what I need -put it back, get next ingredient - put it back, etc. No doors in the way, no opening and closing inner drawers.

Reply to: I was between GE and Jenn-Air and ultimately chose Jenn-Air. I’m very happy with everything. The obsidian fridge is amazing and the gas range is very tech savvy, I love it. I got the Sharp micro drawer instead of the Jenn-Air one though.
