We've had a Samsung side-by-side refrigerator for 12 years and it has been fantastic. One minor ice maker problem in that time frame that I fixed for under $100. Highly recommended.

The best stove I ever used is a mid btu commercial stove/oven I ordered online. I now get most stuff via Restaurant Depot. Not that hard to get a membership and if one person in the family does not have self employed status ( small business) find somebody that does. They are under $1500 and are superb weighing in at near 600 lbs. Do not get the high btu model as you will require serious venting. From a dishwasher standpoint I've always found that over the years that those I used that were not built in were quieter and lasted years longer. Of course this is not what most people want in their kitchen. Fortunately both Ms Shootie and I like the idea of a commercial looking kitchen. NFS (National Food Safety) products are superior to big box products and are priced reasonably. Sample: I paid much less 10 years ago. ebay.com Shootie

About 4 years ago I had the kitchen remodeled. I had a Kitchen Aid (Whirlpool) Micro and regular oven combo, a GE Fridge, an Asko (Swedish) dishwasher, and a Bosch inductive cooktop installed. The GE fridge died for the second time last year so I bought an LT to replace it. While the GE was a lower priced "special buy", it still was well over $1000. The first time, the fan in the freezer died causing the whole fridge to stop cooling. While waiting a week for repair (didn't know the fan was dead), I kept the freezer contents cold with dry ice. The repair guy found the fan problem. One look at that fan showed me that GE made refrigerators with toy motor-driven fans. I knew I was in for more trouble and when it conked out again, I just went and bought the LT. The rest of the appliances haven't given me any problems yet. I bought the Asko because I had one before the remodel and it still worked. I figured it wouldn't be worth keeping it and it wouldn't match the other stainless appliances anyway, but it was a good machine so I got another. I decided to try an induction cook top on the new kitchen island. I wasn't sure at the time but now I wouldn't have any other cook top. Water boils very fast, the glass only gets warm to the touch, and it's easy to keep clean. I use cast iron pans and induction-ready pots. I gave away all the aluminum stuff.

I have heard to stay away from Samsung and LG, the electronics go bad earlier than most other brands, We went with Samsung double door for the refrigerator 4 years ago and have been pleased other than a noisy ice maker. The freezer is on the bottom but the ice maker and storage is up in the frig part. Makes no sense to me but it works. I would DEFINITELY get the no fingerprint finish next time. We asked the sales people in each store (Lowes, HomeDepot, etc) which brands came back for the fewest repairs/complaints. Most people seemed pretty honest giving their evaluation Microwave: IMO they are almost disposable now like toasters and coffee pots. Next time I will buy one that shuts off after cooking and not stay on (not cooking) with the fan and constant beeping. Very annoying!
