opinions on kitchen appliances
my kitchen has white cabinets and black and white granite countertops/backsplash. walls are an off white. i guess the cabinets are a lil off white, too now that i think about it.
i live in a co op so my washer dryer ( stackable) is in there, too. every appliance is white.
my fridge started leaking and my washing machine broke. I will be gettting all new appliances including an oven and a microwave that goes above the oven..
I will be selling my apartment in the next few months or so..
White LOOKS better, but should I get stainless steel appliances?? resale would be better, no?

Re: opinions on kitchen appliances
I'd get what looks nicer. New appliances are still new appliances. IMO, I don't think you'd get substantially more for your apt with SS appliances.

SS appliances always sounds better. We have a few rental properties and when we replace kitchen appliances we always get SS. Many real estate agents have told us this is a huge thing renters look for. However, since you said you will be selling it then maybe just go with whatever is cheaper.

Re: opinions on kitchen appliances
its not cheap by much.
only issue is the washer dryer. it comes in white and SLATE. slate is like 600$ more so I might just get that in white..
also SS fridge has a black side.. that will clash with white cabinets :-0(

opinions on kitchen appliances
I would stick to what looks better. I know they say SS appliances are better for sale but not everyone wants SS and if the white looks better, stick with that. I would rather have an upgraded model than SS. And if you know you are selling a few months, I would get the appliances from the clearance center or buy floor models. There is usually very little wear/tear or damage and you can save major $.

I think there's a Sears outlet by me! I'm hoping to be out of here soon but it could be a year. By the time I find a house and update it, it might be a while. We put an offer on a house 11k above ask and got outbid by another 20k.all cash of course. Anyway God has a plan for us... I'll keep looking.

Re: opinions on kitchen appliances
SS appliances for sure
When we sold our last house, every. Single. Person. Who walked through mentioned the SS appliances.
People love it.
And a white kicthen w black granite & SS looks very nice.
I agree w PP - white W&D should be fine
I think it's best to blend that in w the cabinets somewhat.

Without a doubt, I'd get stainless. They will look nicer with the white and look more modern than black or white appliances.

Not cheap, but look into Fisher Paykel brand refrigerator - it's from New Zealand and made to fit European homes - which are generally smaller. I got a FP fridge when I re-did the kitchen in my co-op and loved that thing!

Ive seen it but 2k for a fridge would be OK if I wasnt planning on selling my place in a few months. I might have to just do it :-\
