I just finished design and the one option was GE Profile or credit to get your own.

Save yourself the headache and choose something else. Wish we had 🙁

Live in Monarch Grove and have all Samsung appliances. Love them. We run the dishwasher at night when we are going to bed and once asleep, we hear nothing.

If you have the ice maker on top... beware. I had mine replaced after two years... froze in a solid block. Just get in the habit of emptying it once a week. It won’t freeze up as much

We had a lot of trouble with our Samsung refrigerator. Especially the ice maker. We switched to a Whirlpool fridge 2 years ago and so far no problems.

Nothing local had what we wanted, so I ordered from our go to appliance store in Illinois, Abt. Got a great deal and exactly what I wanted. No one is building like crazy up here! Only problem is I'll have to find a local installer for them.

Abt is also on online retailer. So if you're in the market for appliances (and a lot of high end brands, too)...try, Abt.

ABT is great - free shipping and NO TAXES!

Seven years now in our Designer home we had built. During 'design' we opted out of the standard GE appliances and got a credit. Bought all our appliances at Home Depot. They had a great sale then (bundle) and we got excellent Samsungs for just over $600 more with the TV Credit. A very nice large Samsung refigerator, stove, microwave, washer, dryer. ZERO issues up to now, almosy 8 years, knock wood. We have neighbors who had to replace their GE stuff already, or many problems. so good news here.
