    Well, I made the decision to go with a plain old agitator Kenmore toploading washer and electric dryer, a Bosch-made Kenmore dishwasher with the better quality racks, a Kenmore induction stove and a top freezer 18.5 cu ft Kenmore fridge. I will pick up a over the range microwave, probably a Panasonic nearer my moving date. Thanks for all the advice. It really helped!

    razz, That's good news. I love my old Kenmore washer and dryer. I've had them since 1998, and they were probably at least five years old when I bought them. I don't use my dryer...just the clothesline.

    Not to be "that guy", awakenedsoul, but you will want to give that washer a good look-over before you put it into service. While it's true that washers can last for years (some for decades), rubber (and there's a lot of it in a washer) ages, especially in atmospheres which are less controlled than inside a house. Then there's the matter of, umm, guests using the washer as a home or a source of building materials. Have you taken any steps to ward off the "squatters"?
