I should add that this is for a very small kitchen with standard size appliances. 24 inch dishwasher, 30 in range with micro over range, 20.6 cu fridge(top freezer).

I'm in a similar situation where I need to buy new appliances but don't need the best (I'm also moving in 2-3 years). I've been considering Frigidaire due to cost and size limitations but am also getting worried due to the many bad reviews of the brand. Looking forward to hearing everyone's feedback.

Maybe check GE Profile for range? In our last home we had one that did a good job and didn't have one problem in the 8 years.

We had a Frigidaire refrig that seemed OK...Much better than the higher priced Maytag we bought at the same time. Maybe check Samsung to see if they make a fridge in your price range. I've read only positive comments about them.

We had a mid-range Frigidaire tall-tub dishwasher that was loud and not that great at cleaning.

I haven't had any KitchenAid, but it seems to be well thought of here.

Best wishes.

If you are moving in 2 to 3 years and this stuff is cheap to buy I don't think I would worry.

Thanks for the help. I went back and upgraded a bit. Kitchenaid dishwasher and fridge and GE range. It was only $800 more and I feel well worth it.

Phew...I feel for you. Isn't it nice to breathe that sigh of relief and feel good about what you've bought? That's worth a lot in itself. Sometimes those doubts in our gut are trying to tell us something helpful. Enjoy your new appliances. I hope they do everything you want them to, and do it well!

I couldn't agree with you more!! Well put Rhome410. Thank you.
