Do kitchen appliances need to be same brand?

5 years ago

I’m renovating a kitchen. I love my kitchen aid dishwasher , but I’m considering a different brand for an induction range and fridge. If all stainless steel, does it matter if different brands?

When I remodeled, I got an LG refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, a Whirlpool range, and a GE microwave. All are stainless.

No. Follow your instincts and choose the appliances that work best for you. I have a Frigidaire fridge and range and a Bosch dishwasher. In my old house I had a Siemens (made by Bosch) dishwasher and a Kenmore fridge and range. Sometimes this means the handles will be different which doesn't bother me, but make sure it doesn't bother you.

Nope! Just stay away from Samsung refrigerators. Ours has been an expensive headache and friends have had problems, too.
