Bought a townhouse recently and thinking of how to modernize it a bit.
The dishwasher desperately needs to be replaced (pretty sure it's the original one that was installed when the house was built in 81). The oven and fridge are old, but still function. I imagine newer ones would be more energy efficient though.
While the dishwasher is the only thing that NEEDS to be replaced, I figure that while I'm doing that, I may as well replace everything else that's in there. I could also install the microwave over the oven and get some MUCH needed space on the already limited countertop.
Lowes and homedepot have all these manufacturer bundles where you can get like 20% off of everything when you buy em together. I figure I would just do that and get them to install it all. Easy peesy. That being said, while people like bosch dishwashers, is it worth getting a fridge from them as well? I don't really know much about the reliability of these companies in regards to the difference product categories so I don't know if it's a good idea.
if I get difference companies for everything, wouldn't they all look too different in the kitchen? The thing is that I'm not made of money, so would be looking to spend $2000 or so. not much more.
Lowes (and probably home depot too) usually run black friday deals where if you buy 2+ appliances you get a couple hundred off with increasing amounts the more appliances you get. You don't have to match by brand. The extended warranties from Lowes are worth it too imo.
Check your local appliance dealers too. They will usually always beat the big box price.
A lot of the times they have service teams that can save you down the road.

Is it worth getting the appliance packages from Home depot or lowes?

I am looking to purchase new appliances for our kitchen and am wondering how to get the best deals.
I live in the central US and have access to all the usual big box stores, plus a few no name places that show up at the top of random google searches.
Do I Frankenstein it together buying individual pieces as they become available? This seems less than ideal and is a real problem if I have no stove while I am waiting on one to pop up. Also, more work. Looking, finding and coordinating delivery all require time and energy that may not be worth saving $100-200.
The premade packages all seem to have some weak link in them. For example, a Samsung suite that includes a dishwasher, when Samsung dishwashers are rated pretty low on consumer reports. Or a GE side by side fridge, when we want a French door model with a drawer.
Ideally, I’d like to walk into a big box place and get a decent chunk knocked off the combined price. If MSRP is $4500, maybe I pay $2500-3000 instead. Do I just need to buddy up to the day managers and let them know I’m available if they need to close a couple thousand one month.
