    I'll play. I own:

    KA BI fridge, 36"
    Sharp MW drawer, 24"
    KW warming drawer paneled, 30"
    Wolf L double ovens, 30"
    Capital Culinarian rangetop, 36"
    Rangecraft hood, 42"
    Kenmore DW, crappy

    I paid less than retail for every piece.

    I do have a upcoming purchase. My old Kenmore DW was reused my from our old kitchen because it was only two years old at the time. The thing is crappy. It doesn't clean well, even when I've pre-scraped so I have do a lot of rinsing and scrubbing. Plus, the thing is loud. I run it at least twice a day so I hear it a lot. Not sure which brand I'll choose next--KA or Miele. I was considering Bosch, but am so disgusted by their mistreatment and fraudulent use of Julia Child's image that I cannot give my money to Bosch/Thermador. I don't really want to cough up the cash for a Miele, but think it would probably be a better unit. I did like the KA I used in the past.

    Bluestar 36" RCS from Costco

    For our recent (2 years ago) reno, we installed;

    36" Bluestar 6 burner range
    Samsung CD/FD fridge
    KA DW
    Proline 900 CFM hood
    Blanco Super Single sink
    Blanco pulldown faucet

  • wallycat
    11 years ago

    House came with:
    LG fridge/freezer drawer.
    GE microwave (I want to replace with a speed oven).
    GE profile oven.
    Replaced cooktop (they had ge profile with downdraft) with a Bosch induction 500 series.
    Washer/dryer are Kenmore and will probably be replaced in the next year or so.
    Came with a Bosch dishwasher (not sure which model). We bought an Asko when we planned to initially build, so would replace it (and hope it works!).

    There is an exhaust in the ceiling but no real hood. Not sure if we will just leave as is.
    Editing to add:
    We just bought a Ticor sink, which DH plans to install in the next few weeks. Am still debating about the Blanco culina faucet.

    We had a Magic Chef suite from 1988, not sure who makes them, but probably original to the house.

    We have purchased in the last year as they died:
    GE Profile induction range
    GE Profile DW, SS tub
    GE Profile FD bottom freezer fridge, water in door

    To do in May:
    Replace OTR MW with Kobe hood, currently in my living room waiting
    Add 240 V Advantium, probably will buy during Presidents Day sale.

    We've had a lot of GE appliances growing up and had very good luck. I like our GE stuff even though it's not popular here, and I have a relative that works there so I can buy through the friends and family store with great prices. I suppose eventually we'll get a lemon and rethink, but for now it's so much better than what was here we're very happy.

    Here's my eclectic mix:

    GE profile bottom freezer fridge(bought it used-it is the best fridge I have ever owned because the freezer is on the bottom where it belongs !!! Great design because not a lot of space is wasted on the doors.
    Miele Crystal DW(replaced a GE potscrubber)
    KA under counter fridge(not a dedicated beverage/wine fridge ) I use it for food. Very handy.
    Magic Chef 1980's 30" gas range(bought used) and still going strong. I can't decide on a new range...and I can't vent to the outside.

  • texasgal47
    11 years ago

    Dodge59, exactly what motor did you use for your vent?

    I have had all of the following for one yr except the fridge:
    KA CD SxS --love it--4 yrs no problems, v. quiet
    Bosch 500 induction cooktop -- love it
    Bosch 500 single wall oven -- works well
    Bosch 800 dishwasher -- would recommend
    Old Kenmore v. small microwave on counter -- built like a tank -- plan to keep it till it dies.
    Vent hood -- to be determined

    I like this thread! A lot of times we don't hear about appliances unless they are horrible or phenomenal so this a good way to see other experiences.

    We have replaced all our appliances since we bought our house almost 11 years ago. We now have:

    - Jenn-Air dual-fuel slide-in downdraft range. We had no choice as it was one of only two dual-fuel ranges that would work with the existing set-up. It is now 10 years old and for the most part we're happy with it. The downdraft is just OK, not great and the convection oven is quite loud. But it cooks great and we've had no problems with it.

    - Jenn-Air french door refrigerator. Probably 6 years old or so. No problems at all and we love it.

    - Jenn-Air dishwasher. No problems at all. A couple months ago I would have said it was a little louder than I liked but we cleaned it out (finding several tea bags and who knows what else) and it's been super quite since. About 5 years old probably.

    The future:

    Hopefully our appliances will continue to serve us well for many years to come, however we are planning for the future. We are redoing our cabinets and we are installing an overhead vent hood (Kobe insert) so that when it comes to buy a new range we actually have options. And if I were picking a new range today it would probably be a Wolf dual-fuel.
