Check out Consumer Reports for all the appliances. Kitchenaid for a
dishwasher, even high end, is not a good idea. Even Kenmore rates higher
than Kitchenaid. Pick out your dream refrigerator now and build a space
for it so that you will have enough room when it gets time to replace the
old fridge. Be sure that the range hood has a good filter that is easily
reached for cleaning. Good choice to replace the wall oven with a range.
