Do you have all the same brands for your kitchen appliances? We are building and I'm just curious.
If you have a brand or appliance you particularly love please share!
We are shopping for a gas cook top, double wall over, fridge and dishwasher.

All of my appliances are different brands. It doesn't matter to me one bit. I just care that they're all stainless so they match.

If you're shopping for black or white, then it doesn't make a huge difference, I don't think. If you're looking into stainless you'll want to make sure that the "grain" of the steel looks okay against a different brand. Some of the grains run top to bottom, some from side to side. I find some stainless also looks really silver in colour and others are darker. We have Frigidaire gallery stainless appliances in fingerprint proof stainless steel and I LOVE them. They're 5 years old and so far have been great. I will say though, a friend has a whirlpool stainless fridge that got rust spots after a year.

@NSmama: for a condo we renovated we did get all the same brand appliances (also Frigidaire Gallery like @NSmama: & we loved them too). We have matching ones in our house, and when we renovate here we'll pick matching appliances here, too.

Ours are all Frigidaire but the stove is white while the fridge and dishwasher are stainless.

We are doing a kitchen renovation and plan to get a Thermadore cooktop, double wall over, and dishwasher. Thermadore is running a promotion- the dishwasher is free if you purchase two of their other products. You might want to check it out!
Our fridge will be the KitchenAid counter-depth model.

@NSmama: Thanks for that tip -- it never would have crossed my mind to be honest. I'll look into the Frigidiare!
@QueensBee: We are also doing a gas cook top and double wall oven. I haven't looked into thermador but will now. Thanks!

Fridge, range top and double oven are Wolf/subzero. Dishwasher is Bosch. Love my kitchen appliances!

The house we moved into had all the same brand. But, we recently had a new dishwasher put in and it's a different brand. But, having the same color scheme is important to me

DH's grandparents recently renovated their condo and found a deal with Home Depot where they got all the appliances matching. In their instance, they wanted matching over quality because it is a vacation place.
I'd recommend looking at Consumer Reports for the big appliances. If Kenmore (Sears' house brand) is still in business and decent when we replace ours, I'll be getting my dishwasher from them for sure

We just gutted our kitchen and replaced all of the cabinets, countertops, appliances and backsplash. We went with Bosch for the dishwasher, gas cooktop, wall oven and warming drawers. Bosch had a great rebate program where you get 10% back if you purchase 3 qualifying appliances. I just received my Amex card for almost $400. I recommend shopping at Best Buy or Pacific Sales (owned by Best Buy) - they are great at beating competitor pricing

We slowly upgraded to all stainless LG appliances. I highly recommend a double oven. It heats so fast- like 7 minutes so it's basically a built in toaster oven. And the bottom is great for baking or holiday cooking at separate temperatures. Game changer.

Everything that came with the house is it the same because the builder selected it. I think we had a choice between black and stainless. We chose is stainless. I believe our fridge is in the same family of brands as everything else in the kitchen, but not the same "brand".

Nope; I have no idea how DH decided, but they all matched as SS.

We are building and just picked out all matching appliances - we went with Whirlpool stainless steel after a ton of research.
