Kitchen appliance recommendations

[maypo52]

Hi All,

We will be re-doing our kitchen soon and need to replace all the appliances(frig, dishwasher, gas cook top). I guess we would like to keep all the appliances the same brand so they all match. What I would like to know is what brands have the best reliability as a family. What brand would you pick? We're not looking to go high end i.e. sub-zero, wolfe, viking but we do want something stylish and functional.

Thanks

I would go with Whirlpool/Kitchenaid myself....best to have serviced if needed also...   and remember simpler is better...

I would also recommend Whirlpool.  I have them now and have had them in the past and they are the most reliable and the most easily serviceable, although I rarely have problems with mine.  Jealous that you are going to redo your kitchen, I would love to redo mine!

I like WP/Kit Aid too.
Allot of people are throwing away good appliances because they are "old".
Old ones can be painted(like a car can) . If done right, can look good.
Believe it or not, many of the "older' appliances are higher quality then new ones in the store.
My  neighbor spent Thou$$$ on a kitchen "upgrade".Pulled out the "old" working appliances. Now is out of money.

What kind of appliances do you have now? What will you do with the "old"ones?

Whirlpool and GE add warranty's to any new items you purchase,they do not last like they used to.Parts have increased in price on many.
