Matching appliances in a rental?

[Bienes Raices]

For lower middle class rental area, do you need to match brands if you're getting new appliances for the kitchen (everything was ripped off by the former owner). Or is just matching the color okay?

I wouldn't worry about it with anything below an upper end rental. All my tenants just want the appliances to work, none have cared that the stove was white while the refrigerator was almond and/or the dishwasher was black.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'll go out of my way to find avocado or something! Whenever replacing appliances, I do try to match color, but that's after all other things being equal, e.g., price, quality, availability, etc.
