It really depends on the space requirement. So let’s say you’re talking about a counter-depth fridge. They are designed to take up a smaller footprint in the kitchen than the Whirlpool french door model#WRF954CIHZ use just a 36 wide 72 tall opening and is 24 cubic feet. One of the largest counter depths on the market.

I’m not a huge fan of the brand in select categories. They make a great range, and that’s about it. Their refrigerators notoriously ice up. Their dishwashers don’t last more than 3-5 years. It’s just not a brand I could recommend at the moment until they get their act together. They let quality go-to pump out production. If you follow my Facebook group, it is the biggest complaint about the brand for service. If you like that type of look then I would push you more towards LG.

They are good, but you need to make sure it’s the new linear compressor with the newer Freon as the older models had a design flaw going back 3-7 years where they would crap out so fast. This is not the case with the newer design. Try to stick with simple features. The simpler, the better. I do like them now vs. in the past when it was a servicing headache.

The fact that you asked tells me you are on the right track, as so many people don’t maintain. I would pick one appliance a month to clean with a washer twice a month. The manual will give you monthly cleaning tips as well.

Dishwasher and washer: run affresh cleaning tabs in it. Washers also wipe the gasket of a front loader.

Range: clean it out once a month to avoid long self-cleaning cycles.

Fridge: clean it out and vacuum the coils.

Hood: wash the grease filters.
