Sympathy!
When I remodeled the kitchen 6 years ago, I decided to
upgrade all the appliances at the same time: Stove,
dishwasher and refrigerator, all in stainless steel. $$$$!
On the recommendation of a friend I selected a Frigidaire
glass-top stove, and then decided to go with Frigidaire for
the other two as well so the exterior trim would match.
Worst decision I have made in a **long** time. I LOATHED
and HATED the stove. I finally replaced it with a SS
Kitchenaid dual-fuel (sold the glass-top turkey to the
neighbor across the street, I don't think she actually
"cooks"). The DW is a POC (flooded the floors a while back
and has to be run on the pots-and pans cycle to get anything
clean, plus the rack arrangement wastes space), and an
expensive part in the refrigerator gave up just before I was
leaving on a trip, thankfully while still under extended
warrantee.
All things considered, I would have been better off keeping
the old white GE appliances, and just replacing each one as
it gave out.

I remember the tale of the stove. Meanwhile, I got a 24" glass-top
Kenmore range and I love it. My dishwasher is an 18" Kenmore and it
works very well. I had a relatively new Maytag fridge - about 8 years
old, I think. But it was getting harder and harder to hunt inside it,
and I kept standing up under the freezer door, leaving me with ugly
swellings on the top of my head. I ended up getting an LG French door
with bottom freezer, and it's only 30" wide, which is the space I have
to put it in. My kitchen is not exactly roomy. All appliances are
white. I insist on it.

That's my other knock on the Frigidaire refrigerator with
top freezer: It has a lovely curved front surface on both
doors, and I can't count how many times I have taken
something from the fridge section, stood up and whacked the
back of my head on the bottom of the freezer door. One
would think after a few times one would learn not to do
that. But nooooooo......

I love the idea of a French door fridge, but I didn't need
it for my space, and the price is quite a bit higher. I
probably should have looked more closely at the bottom
freezer option, I'm sure it's more energy efficient. And
one uses the fridge section much more often, so having it at
eye level makes a lot of sense.
Next!

It actually wasn't that much more expensive than the others I was
looking at. Maybe because they really want to make sales right now. We
could have done without the French doors, but it's sure making it easier
for one person to get past the other person getting something out of
the refrigerator - we really don't have a lot of room, and the kitchen
functions as the passageway between the living room and the stairs to
the basement where DH's office is.

I'm in favor of getting tools which work for the workspace
and intended purpose, so ya' done good.
