Complete home renovation. What brand kitchen appliances would you choose?

I don't think you can do it just by brand. GE Monogram, for instance, produces appliances in three different locations in the US, which will all have different error and failure rates.

For as much as people bitch about Samsung, I've never had an issue outside of the ice maker in one fridge that I owned for almost a decade. W/D, fine. LG W/D, fine. Bosch dishwasher was better than the Fridgidaire I'm currently using. Fridgiidaire fridge and oven and microwave are fine.

Since you're buying current gen, why not just look at new retail models on Consumer Reports for $60 or whatever the sub fee currently is? It's a tiny price to pay to avoid the "always buy Speed Queen" BS you're going to get out of this board.
