Looking for a new fridge, dishwasher and stove. If you got a bundle which brand would you opt for? Alternatively, if you purchased individually, which brands would you recommend for each?

In terms of the oven- curious to see what everyone thinks the best electric range is. (Under 3k)

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.
