I am about to purchase a new gas range and microwave oven for my kitchen. I, torn between a GE and Kenmore. I’ve read hours of reviews. Would the problems Sears has been having push you towards another brand? Just thought i would come to the green screen to see what you guys thought.

Like said above, Kemnore was good, but not so much today. I purchased a washer/dryer, fridge and freezer in 1973. Still have the freezer sitting and working in my garage and the others lasted over 30 years before being replaced. Now with most appliances not so much. I would go with GE if it were me.

We had GE appliances in PA and loved them. A friend worked there and we got a great discount. This house had a Kenmore range and dishwasher in it when we bought it last year. Both were new and both are junk. Half the time the dishwasher doesn't open the soap dispenser or runs twice as long as it should. The oven takes a LONG time to heat up and the temps are way off. It's hard to bake something when you don't know if the oven will be 350 or 325 that day lol. We verified this with an oven thermometer. They are getting replaced sooner rather than later. We have a Frigidaire refrigerator and surprisingly it has been great, considering they make a lot of Kenmore stuff. So I think it's hit or miss with them.

Call your local appliance repair guy and ask him which ones they are always working on and then stay away from them.
As stated above, Kenmore now does not equal Kenmore back in the day. On a side note, the wife purchased a Frigidaire fridge and that dang thing is very loud, plus I cant get cold water from it.
