HELP PLEASE!!! Home appliances? stainless steel or not? fridge side by side?

I want to buy a whole set of appliances what would be the best choise of material white or stainless steel or??? And should I pick a side by side or the traditional type? I think the only benifit the side by side has is the ice maker???but is it worth the extra cost? and what is the best brand for the stove, fridge, oven , microwave and washer machine???? Please any advise would help…THANX
How is LG and Samsung for a fridge or should I go with bosch for all appliances??

Stainless: Pain in the neck for upkeep, and stay away from stainless sinks. When they scratch, they don’t look all that good. You can buff the scratches out, but they just come right back with use.

I personally prefer black appliances, they just have a much more sleek look to them and are a little easier to clean. Side by side fridge is a great way to go for ease of use for freezer storage, and now you may want to even consider the side by side with the freezer drawer down below. Sliding shelves in both the freezer and the fridge are handy for oversize items. That way you don’t have to pop out shelves, or readjust anything, they just slide back on themselves (about half way).

Best brands – look at consumer reports to see how they all rate, but Whirlpool and Kenmore do quite well for the price. Bosch, Viking and Thermador are a little more high end, but definately worth the extra cost. Natural gas is easier to cook with in my opinion…it’s just easier to control the heat. Bosch is a great dishwasher…silent and really nice. Rather than a microwave, you might want to take a look at convection ovens that double as a microwave. You can bake cookies in a fraction of the time, and then turn around and heat something else up with the microwave function.

LG front load washer and dryer…one of the best investments I made. Front load washers are making a really strong come back now because they are easier to access, and they will save you some money on water and power. They don’t take hardly anything to run.
