So here I am about 6 months after signing the contract about to take delivery of the home. I have been a renter for as long as I have live by myself.
The first thing I need to do is to get appliances (fridge, washer & dryer). What's a good place to get them? Also, I see so many mixed reviews on appliances it makes me a bit uneasy...seems like no matter what you buy, things will go wrong...i.e. they don't build them like they used to. Even expensive ones like Bosch have some negative reviews.
Regarding the washer, I get conflicting reports on front load vs top load. Best Buy sales guy says top load is better because of no issues with mold. Home Depot sales guy says front load is better because of efficiency and mold is not a concern if the door is cracked open. Would appreciate if you can share any experience with this. Right now I'm leaning towards an LG top load.
Regarding the fridge, what are some good brands? From what I understand, all the "Assembled in America" ones -- Maytag, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, etc. -- are made by the same company and they use parts imported from China. For that reason, I'm leaning more towards the Korean brands, perhaps LG. Any insights here? Right now I'm leaning towards a French Door, Counter Depth model from LG.
Thanks.
