Hello All;
I am planning to replace my refrigerator and range within the next month. I have actually been looking around for a seemingly endless time due to the many brands and user reports out there. I was oriignally planning to get a residential commercial range/refrigerator but have since changed my mind to get a high end residential one instead.
My mother tends to like Whirlpool and I like the Samsung refrigerators. What do you think about these two brands ? Samsung may not make Ranges but I know Whirlpool does. I have heard about reliability problems with GE and Maytag.
I want to get the bottom freezer french door model with icemaker.
I have just a few questions ...
1 - What do you think about the brands - Whirlpool and Samsung ?
2 - In a refrigerator, is ice/water through the door more prone to break down when compared to ice/water obtained by opening the door ?
3 - In a range, my mother says that the sides of her current range (Which she bought a few years ago) get very, very hot. Is this normal or should a range provide better insulation to prevent it from getting too hot on the sides ? Is there any way to tell the insulation ability of a range before purchase ?
Thanks for any thoughts/advice you may have.
