[] Hi. My wife and I are moving into a new house in a couple of months and hence we need to buy 4 major appliances (fridge, stove, washer, dryer). We've been looking at Hotpoint and GE stoves (not self cleaning), White-Westinghouse fridges, and we're not sure about the laundry stuff. Does anyone have any experience with these brands in terms of reliability and price/features ratios? Also, if you have another brand you're happy or pissed off about, let me know too. (15-17 cu.ft. fridge w/freezer, regular clean stove, washer with ~6 cycles and hot wash/warm rinse combo available). Thanks for any help.

Our White-Westinghouse fridge (about five years old) has wide temperature fluctuations. Also, it needed a $100 modification to prevent ice build-up in the freezer. The repairer had a kit for the job--it's a known problem-- but "we only install it if people complain." Grrr.
