Looking for feedback on overall performance and durability for ge appliances.
Building a new dwelling and have the oppurtunity for good rebates on these.
Water is fine don't even need softener or anything. They have been around for long time, just making sure I'm not buying scrap metal !!

I'm not sold on GE! Our 30 cu. ft. GE fridge has had a number of service issues in the ten years it has been working. But beyond that, as I understand, GE is a big pusher of the "Cap & Trade" fiasco that is being foisted upon us by our 'gummint' and 'Fat Albert' Gore as they stand to benefit to a large extent if it gets passed. Global warming is a hoax as has been proven by many scientists. Politicians are NOT scientists!

That's enough reason for me to avoid GE!

Consumer Reports generally likes their stuff. Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE and Whirlpool (Maytag taking a poo right now) rate decent for reliability but each brand will have poor performers and good performers and a top brand for microwave reliability may make unreliable stoves.. If I was going to buy a whole kitchen suite I would at least get an online membership and check out the scores. I'm also buying a house and the seller offers OK stuff but I am finding I can do better taking some time to watch sales, haggling and searching for closeouts and floor models.

Also, Kenmore and Kenmore Elite. GE profile and Frigidaire Gallery or Pro rate decent. I'm probably going with Frigidaire Pro because there is a store nearby with deals and they seem a tad cheaper than Kenmore and co. and still perform well. Also I like the look of the stainless.

The August 09 edition of Consumer Reports rated all large appliances...I would check this out before purchasing any high ticket items. Your local library will carry CR......just ask!

A friend of mine works for Whirlpool Corp. They make numerous brands - whirlpool, jenn-air, kitchenaid, I think roper, & some others I don't remember. He basically told me that many times they are selling the exact same unit, but labeled as 2 different brands. Because some brands are perceived as better, they may actually be at different price points. Do your research so you don't end up paying too much.

BTW, I haven't actually ordered anything from this site, but it seems to have decent reviews, and good prices on major appliances - www.ajmadison.com
