Our project that we are most happy with has always been the Kitchen remodeling. One way we managed the financial budgeting of that rather expensive undertaking was to retain the old appliances for as long as possible. Well. The time has arrived when we must purchase a new refrigerator, the stove came due two years ago- so this is the last big replacement ( knock on wood ) for awhile. We don't buy new unless the old has totally run its course- seriously flawed in its operation.
The stove was an easy choice. The first new one I had ever bought was a Jenn Air brand and I was very happy with that. I loved the indoor grilling (before the time of George Foreman's popular item), so we simply went with the updated version of the stove I originally had. The refrigerator is not going to be as easy a choice. For one thing they have changed the design quite a bit, I am not sure whether to get a side by side or to choose the French door type. We have looked at Home Depot and Lowes mainly. The last fridge we bought had been from Sears, I think. One thing I don't like is the flimsy plastic that is found on some of the median priced ones, my family needs Fisher Price-toy strong plastics. You have to check little things like the strainer for the in door ice and water server, or the compartments inside the appliance. Of the different brands, LD , GE, and Kitchen Aid are my favorites. We are thinking about a GE Adora ( made for Home Depot).
I am always happiest after the purchasing is over. Refrigerators aren't sexy. At least not the ones I buy.

We have a refrigerator that makes noise but came with the house. I figured it would go out "any day" but that was 7 years ago and it is still running. Darn, I want a new one! One with an ice maker and where you can get cold water without opening up the door. But the house needs other things first.
