Appliances?

Today, D and I began looking at appliances to outfit the new house. We need a refridgerator and washer/dryer. We traveled to Lowes and Home Depot, and listened to some knowledgable and some not so knowledgable sales people. Basically, we realized that we do not know much about appliance brands. Here are some pictures of us trying to learn all we need to know. We would love to have your input - what brand refridgerator and/or washing machine and dryer do you have? Do you like it? What things do you like or dislike? What do you wish you had? Let us know your thoughs, we need all the help we can get. :o)
