Appliance shopping and overwhelmed.

Reading along on CR now.

Thanks for the input. We have a side beside that is staying here when we move. For sure going with a French Door style fridge. Just trying to decide if it's going to be a water in the door type or what.

Washer and Dryer's are totally overwhelming.

I have Frigidaire appliances that have the look of stainless but have some sort of finish that doesn't show fingerprints. The range and the fridge have been great, the dishwasher sucks.

I live in an older house that did not have a w/d originally, so when i ripped out the kitchen I added connections. Since they were to be in the kitchen I built a custom cabinet that housed the w/d and the fridge. The w/d were pricey but the are AWESOME. They are the LG Tromm front loading. We have been here almost four years and no problems and they wash incredible.

I have also had good luck with Kenmore.

Also, make sure you buy at the right place. Sometimes you get bad stuff (no matter what brand) and you will need a decent store to make things right. In this regard, I would stay far away from HH Gregg (if they are in your area) as they have the worst customer service and return policy in the business.

While not experts, places like Costco have great return policies and super customer service.

Good luck with the shopping, its overwhelming, yet surprisingly satisfying when it all comes together.
