Our last House...builder put in Kenmore Stove and Microwave and Dishwasher. We bought a Maytag Refrigerator.
Year one...Microwave died. Replaced it with another Kenmore to match the stove.
Year 2- Kenmore dishwasher flooded...yeah floor damage to boot!! Replaced with a Maytag Dishwasher.
Year 2.5 Stove element snapped and sparks went everywhere...Bought a GE Stove. Second Kenmore Microwave died shortly after that. Bought a GE Microwave.
So those Kenmores were dead within 2.5 years of home purchase (it was a new home btw). When we left after year 7...all GE & Maytag appliances were working fine...including the 7 year old maytag refrigerator that never gave us one problem.
Now appliances can be a crapshoot. We are going to have all the SS whirlpools in the new home replaced with GE after closing, either through the installer or buy new and sell those. Our GE stove (not profile) was one we absolutely loved. It cooked correctly. The whirlpool in this lease house burns food

Basically when replacing appliances or having them put in ..do your homework..read lots of reviews...I've got the model list of what we will be putting in...no substitutions. And just because Profile is suppose to be better and costs more sadly doesn't make it so. I've seen bad reviews on those and good on regular GE. Just remember everything the builders put in they're getting at package discounts. If nothing else...check out consumer reports for that extra leg up in picking appliances.
