nbr - Tell me about your appliances
The house we bought came with a fridge (no freezer!) And a wall oven from the late 70's and ancient stove top. We need to replace all three since they don't seem to work very well and apparently mh and dog can't live without access to ice cubes in the kitchen.
We are planning on replacing the oven/ stove with a stand alone. What brand/ models do you have? Love it or hate it?
Also do you think it matters to mix brands in the kitchen? We don't care but were told we can't do that. (Three guesses who feels that way)
Re: nbr - Tell me about your appliances
Our dishwasher is also GE, but our fridge is Samsung.
We went with what got good reviews and fit our budget over keeping the same brand.
I honestly wouldn't notice in anybody's house if they mixed brands.

I like that a lot because I try to keep healthy stuff that would ordinarily be kind of hidden in the rest of the fridge in there.
The ice maker is a bit loud, but I've never known an ice maker to not be loud.
No complaints!

I hate glass top stoves; gas all the way for me.

Good to know about Maytag dishwashers... mh promised me one years ago and I am still waiting on one.
We do have GE up here, I will check them out at Lowes.
We do have the Gas option here, but neither of us has had a gas stove before. I think it scares mh a bit, but I am intrigued by the idea.
I am going to a store tomorrow that sells Thermador, I had never heard of it before. I will look at those as well. We both like cooking/baking and want to get something really good but not overkill for price and size.

I don't have any links and I forgot the brand though, so I'm no help whatsoever in this post.

My sweet babies:




The house we bought has Kenmore appliances. A electric flat stop stove, which is okay, easy to clean but hard to regulate the temperature. The fridge has French doors and a bottom freezer. I thought that I would like the bottom freezer but it is kind difficult to keep it organized. That may just be me though.

I would never notice if someone's appliances were all the same brand. I would, however, notice if the colors don't match. I wouldn't necessarily care, but I would notice it.
Yep, looooove it!

However, I have Kenmore in my house (stove, micro and dishwasher) simply because we just needed something that day and couldn't order anything. Someday when we expand our kitchen I'll get more expensive appliances because I'm constantly cooking/baking.
And I do notice different brands, but that's just me
