I have new whirlpoolpool fridge, electric stove, dishwasher, microwave in my apt. All nice enough. No issues so far.
Consumer reports votes LG for front loaders. And some European brand for top loaders.Quote:

Will check out LG
Have the LG 5170 model washer/dryer. Like it better than my Samsung front loader, just because it doesnt have the still water issues front loaders do.
Kitchen - GE Cafe. Really like their Dual Fuel oven. Had the Profile equivalent in the last house, and it was also great. Delayed cook and built in temp probe are nice touches.
Really like my GE Profile stuff too (but my microwave just died...)
Thinking of trying LG, especially as some peeps seem to have had good luck. Thanks!
Had to check for myself - we got front load Whirlpool washer/Dryer LOL
Backsplash going in. After tomorrow my two year kitchen reno will be finished!!!!..... Maybe

Sister in laws family is putting in new flooring. Any tips for what may come up? Its pretty simple looking lol just looking for how to start it with a 1/4 gap for the side edging & stuff

You can buy spacers to use to start your first run... or another method is to cut wooden paint stir sticks into small blocks and use them. That looks like click laminate so it's pretty easy to Install. one trick for cutting the last board in each run. turn the board around and then position it where it would sit and mark the cut location. Saves measuring the last board. the only other thing I will say is to measure across the floor and make sure your last run isn't going to be some tiny sliver of a board. better to rip the first run so the floor is close to even on both sides
Went looking for appliances today, and ended up with Jenn-Air. Fancy wall oven w/ microwave/convection oven combo is my favourite. The missus got her giant fridge (28 cu ft).
Looks like no major upgrades for the car this year :)
Just layed 1700 sq feet of laminate the past 2 days make sure the floor is perfectly level or you will have soft spots which will lead to the seems splitting in no timeQuote:

Man, the square footage of a backsplash is so SMALL compared to if you were tiling a floor, wall, etc.... Just get the tile you like the best and don't worry about the price. You'd save like $5 or $10. lol.Quote:

I keep ending up at Peel Tile for that stuffQuote:

LoL truth...but Loki, don't you need a central vac too?
Not gonna lie... when I was a kid, I was absolutely terrified of central vac... the hole in the wall that eats things?!?! It's clearly a ****ing monster.
