On Saturday, the 21st of November, our kitchen appliances were delivered from Best Buy. After extensive research, we choose Whirlpool for their low failure rate; eco-friendly construction; and the fact that they’re made in the USA! They look awesome next to the cabinets! I’ll get in-place pictures added soon!
Electric Range – WFE371LVS
This range has some great features like a hidden bake element. That means no smoke alarm testing for food running over! Plus, it has a steam cleaning feature for the oven.
Refrigerator – ED5FVGXWS
We ended up choosing this refrigerator for several reasons: the gallon door bins, electronic ice/water controls, inline water filtration, and the large wire freezer shelves.
Microwave #1 – WMH1162XVS
This particular microwave is mounted over the range. Oh, and I did say microwave #1 – we have two. Why? It’s great for candy making, chocolate tempering, etc.
Microwave #2 – MT4155SPS
This is a higher power microwave than the over-the-range model. This will definitely come in handy!
Dishwasher – DU1055XTVS
Dare I say this will be my favorite appliance? Some of the features we like include – silverware basket can be placed anywhere, sanitary rinse, and integrated food grinder.

I am looking at the Whirlpool Gold model you purchased. I hope that it’s a quality product. My old range is a Kitchen Aid that lasted for 15 unbelievable years and I paid $1200 for it in 1994. I understand that KitchenAid has fallen out of favor now due to the many,many consumer complaints on their appliances. Some even catching fire! Scary.
Whirlpool owns KitchenAid so…a little worried about quality.
Anyway, could not find anyone who bought that model except you…after 3 days of looking. The newer model GFE461 is in play as well as the GFE471. Wish there were tons of consumers out there to defend these appliances.
