Appliances now have so much technology it doesn't make sense to have same brand, unless it's a store brand (Kenmore) that doesn't actually manufacture the products.
Our range and ovens are Maytag and Amana. Fridge that will not die is Kitchen Aid. LG dishwasher I love.
Matching appliance finishes are no longer a "must", choose finish for each item that works with cabinets and views of rooms.

Fridge and Dishwasher are GE, stove is Whirlpool (so is the washer and dryer) and microwave is a Sharp. As long as the colors match, I think that's okay.

If the finishes are different on our stainless steel appliances, I've never noticed. The dishwasher is the oldest (10 years) and the microwave is newest (year or two old) and even they look the same to me.

We bought all new appliances for our recent re-hab and brand was not a factor. I only wanted them all to be white. Stove top, oven, vent, sink and faucet set, and refer. We did not put in a dishwasher although the space exists for one.

Our dishwasher is a Kenmore. We like it but the next one will be a quieter model/brand and will probably be white. (black) Our refrigerator is a Whirlpool. Never. Again. Took 3 tries to get a working one and Whirlpool has horrendous CS. Thankfully Lowes did treat us right. (white-I didn't want something as big as a fridge to be black since our old kitchen was small and dark) Our stove is a Samsung. I'm very happy with it. (black and ss-that was the only finish it came in) Microwave is a Kenmore and we are happy with it. (black)
We had all black (except for the fridge) in our old house but I think I want a white d/w for this house (when we replace it).

We're looking to replace our refrigerator next month. If dh's bonus is enough we're going to replace all our appliances. I was excited to get matching, but that's not going to happen apparently. The refrigerators we like are LG or Kenmore. Those brands do not make a good stove so that will likely be GE. Looks like the dishwasher and microwave will be Kenmore.

Mine are all Kenmore. I am pretty happy with them.
