Switching out from Samsung appliances I think.

Just had to buy a new oven/range to replace the first Samsung appliance.

Went with GE. Everything on the internet said GE is the best right now for mid-grade appliances.

Just wondering what the board's thoughts are. I figure you guys do a lot more research than I did.

I switched from GE to whirlpool for several things at least five years ago. The fact that I can’t remember exactly how long ago we did that is a good sign.

Depends on the specific appliance.

Got a Hisense fridge with a 5y Lowe's warranty (during covid supply problems). With the warranty it was still cheaper than the GE/maytag by a lot!

It had good features, works well, but started beeping randomly 3 years in.
After a call out or two, they sent a full refund for the fridge amount. I bought the same thing with the same warranty and moved the old one to my garage where I don't care if it beeps.

Not saying that's always the way to go, but I basically got a free extra fridge

I got the the basic model Bosch (500 or something like that) a few years ago, and it’s fantastic

It really doesn't matter. They are all disposable items and won't last forever. Just make sure you don't waste your money on the extended warranty

I have been replacing my GE appliances one by one. Got a Bosch dishwater and a Jenn Air fridge (whirlpool). I did not have good experiences with GE

I'm not a fan of GE other than that are easy to diagnose if you pay $55 a month for ThinkQ software. Lots of control board issues. Washer breaks = control board. Ditto for dishwasher and fridge. Seems with GE I'm changing a board. But They are all bad now. Even speed queen ain't what it was.

I've told this story before but had an independent repair shop out to repair a couple of our Samsung kitchen appliances under warranty. Two different service shops in two different cities, both told me that if Samsung made decent appliances, their repair shop would go out of business. Both told me GE, Whirlpool, and Bosch in no particular order were what they see the least often.
