New refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave.
The stove is nice. It's convection, though, so we have to learn how to use it right. There are three small burners in the back, but one of them is just for warming? There's just an "on" button for it. The two big burners in the front are dual burners. You turn the knob to the right for the small, inner burner, or to the left for both inner and outer. I'm disappointed that the clock is supplanted by the oven temperature, so you can't tell what time it is while the oven is on. Are we going to have to get a clock for the room?
EDIT: When the oven is on, you can hit the "clock" button, and the time reappears.
The fridge is not as nice. I was disappointed to see, when it arrived, that there are no door handles. It has finger slots in the sides of the doors. I wasn't really paying attention when it was chosen. It wasn't quite what we had picked out before going to the store, but it was in stock, and the finish matched the other appliances. Inside it's not as nice as our old one. This is definitely a cheaper design. There's not as much adjustment in the shelves, and I feel like it's missing one rack in the door, and half a shelf (our old one had a half shelf next to the drawer - this one has one shallow drawer that goes all the way across). Less light inside. And it's 33" wide, rather than 30" like our old one, so it has more empty space inside than our old one. So I was a little unhappy, especially about the missing door handles. Cindy, on the other hand said it is "ugly"!
Neither the dishwasher or microwave are installed yet, but I don't foresee any issues. The dishwasher is metal inside, which the salesperson said was more efficient, temperature-wise.

My stove (a much less new model, it must be said) does that -- when I'm preheating the oven, the display shows "pre-h" instead of the time, and once it reaches the right temp, the display will show the oven temp instead of the time. But if I press on the "clock" button, it switches back to showing the time.
