Not a show piece but a museum exibit!
Appliances are a crap shoot these days. I bought a bunch of Kitchen Aide stuff 15 years ago and it has all been pretty good. When you do go to replace your range, a 36" professional style will require between 300-600 cfm of exhaust from a range hood. With the higher cfms, you will have to start thinking about make up air to replace the air exhausted from the hood.
My Fridge is a Jenn Air/Maytag and I have been inside it twice to replace defrost timer printed circuit boards. Once to replace the defrost termination stat and heaters. Now the ice will not come out as a power outage last year browned one of the control boards.
Still works though...
I think the Craigslist idea would be the best way to go until you are ready to rip and tear into that kitchen reno.
