Appliance Help
This isn't really the appropriate forum to ask this since I'm not 'doing it myself' but I figured people who look at this may have some decent insight.
My wife and I are building a home in the hill country and are at the selection phase of the process. We have to pick out a gas stove top, refrigerator, double oven and dish washer. Just curious if any of you have any thoughts on brand names to either get or stay away from. We cook a pretty good amount, but aren't looking for the top of the line/professional type appliances. Kind of looking for the best bang for our buck. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks |

I have been happy with my GE profile set up I got.. Gas stove and double oven (I like to cook). I bought the store displays at 50% off

we have good luck with whirlpool. i'd stay away from kenmore and bosch. don't know if its possible, but consider buying your appliances from costco. each will come with a lifetime warranty. that way, there is no need for an "extended warranty".

Most of the Kenmores are now made by Whirlpool. Parents always bought Sears/Kenmore back in the day. In 94 I had top of the line Kenmore installed in my house & was pleased. Don't think same quality exists 20 yrs later. House I bought a couple years ago had Frigidaire appliances. I will not ever buy another Frigidaire frig. I also will not have another Amana washer/dryer, can't comment on other amana applicances.
Long story short, had an independent appliance repairman say that right now the best appliances are GEs. |

GE are generally good, but if you look up Consumer Reports on appliances Kenmore is a pretty good buy also. Bosch just recently came out with one of the best dishwasher line-ups ever and deserves a look...

The July 2013 issue of Consumer Reports was their kitchen issue. It might help:
