I would purchase a KitchenAid product (which is made by Whirlpool) hands down over a GE product, especially GE's electronic controlled refrigerators.
Kenmore refrigerators could be made by any number of different manufacturers. There's no way to tell which unless you get the complete model number *right off the appliance's model and serial number identification tag* (see the following link) or the sales person can and is willing to tell you.

The Purchase : Who makes Sears?
The main problem with buying a "kenmore" product is you have to call Sears for service. For just about any other brand, you will probably have a choice of several different service depots to choose from (see the following link) when repair times comes around.
