Plumberry,

I'm afraid your request for guidance is so broad that no one will be able to help you. Perhaps you could give us some assistance by indicating a budget for each appliance, the size (width, depth, height, etc.) available for fitting the appliances into your kitchen, your color/finish preferences, your feature preferences, etc. Without that information it is unlikely you'll get any helpful suggestions.

Why not start by asking about one item, and describing your initial preferences?

thanks mr timewise. i'll start a new thread with a different approach :)
