Appliances chosen and ordered

After many weeks of researching and price watching, I've ordered my appliances. Just to recap, my townhome comes with three standard kitchen appliances but I have decided to upgrade all of them. Mattamy gives you an appliance voucher to be used at the Brick worth $1372 in my case.

Fridge - I went with a French door style fridge. I really like the design and layout of these. I also decided to go with one that has a water and ice dispenser. I think it will be nice to have that handy and maybe it'll inspire me to drink more water. The model I went with is the LG LFX23965. My price through the Brick was $2225.

Stove - After living with a smooth top stove with convection, I decided to go with something similar. I looked a bunch of different models but the Whirpool models caught my eye because it has two large 9" elements. Many of the other models only had one larger sized element. I went with the YWFE361LVB. I had the Brick pricematch Future Shop who is selling it for $1049.

Dishwasher - I had mentioned before that the key feature I wanted in a dishwasher was quietness. With an open concept main floor, I wanted to minimize the amount of noise from the dishwasher. I decided to go with a Bosch model 45MO6U. My pricing through the Brick was $850.

All of my appliances are black in colour. Interestingly, the offering of appliances is black is a lot less these days. Everything is seemingly stainless steel. Anyway, so in the end, my appliances don't match brand name wise so handles may not be exactly the same. But functionality came first when it came to choosing my appliances. I'm pretty happy with my choices. I also ordered a microwave too through the Brick, a Panasonic NNSD767B.
