I do know that kenmore, whirlpool, frigedare, and a few others are all made by the same company, in the same plant actually. There was a plant in a town a used to live in. Pretty much all the same product there. We have bought maytag appliances fairly religiously and I recommend them to the homeowners I build for, never had a complaint yet William. They do cost a bit more up front though.
I like the looks of stainless with cherry cabinets also.
