    All of it matches though, and should be good until I croak at least. I'm not the biggest fan of stainless, but it sure does look spiffy. I found it odd that the same series of products was more expensive if ordered in plain white. wtf.

    The one that kicked my ass the most was the stove. Had to be 36" and I wanted gas over electric...they only offered one model. It didn't come with lube either...

    My problem appears to be getting the features I want in the same line without breaking the bank.

    We're considering at black stainless for the kitchen redo. It's a complete gut with a pony wall coming out and new layout.

    Trying to stay relatively low key for a decent 4 piece Whirlpool set around 4-5K discounted, I find the fridge (counter depth) doesn't have adjustable (or cantilever) shelves (WTF?). Have them now in our 15 year old Kenmore (Whirlpool). Kenmore often adds lots of nice features to their rebranded whirlpool but they don't have a slide-in range. DW also needs to be available with the third (cutlery) rack.

    Moving up the line to LG and +40% cost, the slide in range (electric) appears to be susceptible to scratching of the surface? Seems sketchy for a $1,400 range.

    Samsung is currently off my list based on my recent experience with the range I bought under duress. POS. There's no "medium" on this thing and the controls are insanely useless.

    All that said, maybe I should start looking at switching over to a gas range as that opens up my options a bit more - but also breaks the bank. Gas line is nearly directly below the range placement.

    You'd like cooking on a gas range, when it's off, it's off. No residual heat while element is cooling down, easy to not only adjust flame, but visual while in use.

    Plus.. If you have a loss of power, you can still cook on the range and oven. Based on average APS monthly electric bill, we couldn't imagine what someone pays who's all electric.

    Went with Kitchen Aid. The fridge was over/under...split fridge doors, counter depth. The damn thing seems alien to me, but I'll get used to it eventually. Aint never had a fridge with more than 2 doors either side by side or horizontal.

    That damn range though was half of the total purchase price. At least everything matches, with the same warranty and all that business.
