$250 to fix a thermostat?! You probably could've done it yourself for way less. | ||

It's hard to guess about quality these days...I think almost all American brands are about equal. We moved into a brand new house five years ago with top of the line Whirlpool Gold appliances in the kitchen. We bought a $2100 Whirlpool Conquest refrigerator at the same time. The Whirlpool Gold stove had three service calls the first year. The refrigerator went out at about 18 months to the tune of $450. If it hadn't been so expensive to begin with I wouldn't have repaired it. But I did and it has worked OK since. The Whirlpool dishwasher has had no problems. In the laundry there is a Kenmore front loader by Frigidaire and its matching dryer. No problems with those after 5 years. Funny, I was talking to the guy who bought my old condo and the cheap $395 White-Westinghouse refrigerator is still there going strong and is about 10 years old now. It's a crap shoot...I would buy on the features you like. I don't think any appliance manufacturer has better overall quality anymore. JMHO

I'm thinking that a control for a Roper 'fridge could be had for less than a hundred retail...... Now,on the Frig vs WP debate,we bought a new refrigerator about 6 months ago,when the new secondhand GE side by side took a dive.I didn't even consider Frigidaire,my dad serviced them his whole working life.Quality was poor with the WCI merge,came up a tiny bit with Electrolux,but I still wouldn't bite.We went to Lowes to compare Maytag VS Whirlpool,found one we liked,and then went to the local dealer,and bought a Whirlpool side by side.I like to keep my money local whenever possible. My advice is always free,value it accordingly..... kennyGF | ||

Wow, psycho Steve, my experience with Frigidaire has been entirely different than yours! Granted, I'd only buy a TOL Frigidaire dishwasher (I agree that the other models aren't good), but my FL washer, the dryer, 2 convection ranges (one gas, one electric), 2 refrigerators and the chest freezer have all been great. Granted, they're only 2-4 years old, (except for the DW, which is only 1) but I've had no problems with any of them. I'd recommend Frigidaire any day! | ||

Lucky you!
I've had 4 delivery guys from Lowe's over the years, and not a one was worth a second look. Mom still gets swoony about Paulo, who delivered a stove from a different store. Naturally, I was at work at the time... As for my 2 cents on the WP/Frigidaire debate, I'd probably have gone by either features or price, all other things being equal. I have a Roper fridge and DW (made by Whirlpool) and they're both great. Whirlpool always gets good grades repair-wise in Consumer Reports. I'm hoping that extends to Roper as well. My "Paulo" stove and washer in my old place were both Frigidaire and never had a problem with either. The washer had to be 10 years old when we moved and never a repair. My current laundry duo is Frigidaire. Only brand I'd recommend against is GE. Other than air conditioners, I think their stuff is basically crap. Ice recipe: just remember, the Thoughtful Hostess always makes ice with hot water so the cubes are nice and clear. veg | ||

WP ranges It would be nice if WP would offer that night light on their gas ranges like they do on their TOL electric models. | ||
