New kitchen appliance recs

[MrsAggie]

There are some Labor Day sales and our dishwasher is broken. Our appliances are original to the house, 13 years old, and black (in a white kitchen). I figure I'll take advantage of the sales and replace everything.

Wants:
The fingerprint-less stainless steel
Side-by-side refrigerator
Dishwasher
Gas stove/oven
Built-in microwave over stove

Don't do a side by side fridge. Get the French door. You will love it much, much more.

Ditto to the French door fridge. I never know I could love a fridge so much. The amount of space in that thing is ridiculous. We have this one. I didn't want the one with the third drawer because we knew the kids would constantly be opening it.

I think this is the dishwasher we have or very close to it. It's so quiet that we don't even know it's on.

We have a range very similar to this and love it. The split feature makes it so easy to quickly cook something in the top oven and is great on holidays.

I also adore my french door fridge. All of my appliances are Samsung, they've worked great and I love them.

I admit my initial thoughts were because of my parents's older French door fridge. The freezer is a giant drawer that everything just stacks in and you have to dick through it to find anything. It looks like they've go them organized better now.

I can't speak for all brands but this one is more organized than my side-by-side freezer was. It has two, pull-out drawers and a bottom bin that's divided into two compartments. There's also storage inside the door itself for some small items.

I went with GE Profile in our kitchen (built in 2008). They are ok - the best thing about them is they look beautiful. The performance on all of them are just "ok" - the oven and micro both cook "slow," the dishwasher is nice and quiet, but you still have to pretty much clean all the specks off before using, etc. If I did it again, I would go with something else.

I would try NOT to buy an Energy Star dishwasher. I hate our dishwasher so much. It's GE and it suuuuuuuucks.

Our fridge is getting old and is nothing special, so I won't recommend it, but I ditto everyone else on a french door style. Haven't done much research on brands.

LOVE my Viking gas stove.
LOVE my Bosch diswasher.

I have a Samsung french door fridge which I love. The bottom drawer freezer has an extra drawer inside so it's super easy to keep it organized.

I also really love my GE Cafe stove.

Hate my Bosch dishwasher, it doesn't get things clean. At all.

I have 6 year old GE profile. I like my stove and fridge, but if I had to pick things out again, I think I'd pick differently.
