old rugged crossNew appliance question
I know this won't be a hard find but not planning a city shopping trip so I thought I would see what your guys thoughts are.
Need a fridge and stove.
White.
Stove can be coil top. does not need to be digital but can be.
Fridge size needs to be 20 cubs or slightly larger.
Prefer fridge on top.
will be plumbed for ice. Ice dispenser not needed No water dispense required.
Would prefer USA made. Good quality.
would like to buy as a pair if possible. Not a requirement.
Price? under $1000 for fridge. $6-700 stove. Cheaper, better. Thoughts.
Thanks guys and gals.

sourdough44I’m of little help, though I did get some things lately. With minimal research I got a G.E, over the stove microwave. My 30 y/o Kenmore went T.U..
The new microwave doesn’t seem as well made.
My neighbor was doing a refurbishing, washer & dryer. They went to a smaller type on a different level. They offered me a not to old Maytag, both.
I took them up on the washer, replaced my 30 y/o Kenmore. I’ll see how this works out.
It may not be in your wheelhouse, but often I take a peek to see what’s on Facebook marketplace. Sometimes people have to move, things get discounted.
If going with the local big box, usually plenty of reviews. I actually went with a mid sized local outfit on my microwave, old fashioned type installation service.

smlsigI’ve had clients score big at the big box stores when they were having their Black Friday sales which they are probably getting ready to start if not already running.
Good luck.

PR64The last oven I bought is a Thermador.
Great oven but not budget friendly…
I got a “free” over the oven microwave. The catch was that I had to get the model oven that was $1K more expensive.

onegeekIf I was buying an electric range I would probably get an induction. It’s faster than gas and much safer (more quickly) to the touch than normal electric. And coils blow.
But we have gas and it works and I’m cranky and old.
Fridge on top is definitely needed. Sooooo much better.

Appliance BradMaytag MRT311FFFH and the icemaker is W11517113
Their top mounts are made in Mexico but they have been solid for us
Range I would go with a Ceran (smooth top) Selection is limited on coil burner models and really not much cheaper.
I would buy Amana range AER6603SFW. It's made in Oklahoma.
Both brands are part of Whirlpool
