Appliance Recommendations?
I will be in the market for all new appliances including Stove, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Clothes Washer & Dryer. Does anyone recommend a particular brand or features?

I have had excellent luck with Kenmore products, YMMV.

Are these appliances required for a home here in TV? We went with the appliances supplied by TV when our home was built, and eight years out we have no complaints.

I agree with the Kenmore advice. We've had good luck with the washer, dryer, and fridge. One exception would be the dishwasher. We went with Bosch. It's the nicest and quietest there is. Hardly know it's on. This month's Consumer Report (feb '13) has ratings on dishwashers and washers and dryers. Just got mine in the mail last week. Bosch dishwashers had 4 of the top 6 in the ratings. |

I have been told that TV no longer supplies appliances or, for that matter, window blinds, ceiling fans, etc. etc. Between this and the much bigger bonds that are not represented as part of the purchase price of new homes, it can appear that these are cheaper than resales. They are not when considering what a resale usually comes with, including appliances! I too am happy with the appliances that came with the house, and over the years I have had to do exactly one repair (to the tune of about $150). Sorry, have no suggestions where to go for appliances or what brands to buy. Agree with the poster who says to check them out on Consumer Reports.

Anothe rvote for consumer reports. I rather buy a product that will perform well over a long period of time and never had any problems with the suggestions on Consumer Reports.
Well worth to check into to.

Samsung
We went with Samsung appliances when we recently had our IRIS built.
Purchased online from Best Buy and delivered locally. Did quite a bit of research and happy with our choice.

Regarding dishwasher
In most of our OPEN floor plans, I would suggest a QUIET dishwasher, we have a Bosch but Kitchen Aid is also know for being quiet! Most of our appliances are LG (Washer, Dryer, Refrig)....Stove (GE Cafe)...Happy with all

Before I retired 4 years ago,( I am an electrical engineer.) I was in charge of US Standards for Safety of major appliances at Underwriters Laboratories (UL). I worked with the design engineers at all the major appliance manufacturers in the world. In my opinion the best appliances are Kenmore Elite. They are made for Sears by Whirlpool. Whirlpool manufacturers the Kitchen Aid dishwashers and the dishwashers are very quiet.
