Every sales guy I talked to said to avoid Samsung. Apparently if they ever need service, it's a total PITA.

we just replaced ours. LG.
it was 3 or 4 years old. so I agree don't buy one of those. one before that was a samsung. Also only lasted 3 or 4 years. LG had us because of the size, biggest fridge you could get without going to comercial or the expensive one, forget the name. But having to buy one every 4 years is a bit much. Whirlpool now. was told they have the least issue, but that everyone has icemaker issues, so expect that. but it should die like the other. Worst thing is they push a 10 year warranty for their compressor. But it leaked freon instead. So it wasn't covered as part of the warranty. |

All my Frigidaire appliances were garbage. Fridge died after 3 years (compressor), stove needed 2 circuit boards under warranty and you can't boil water on the back burner. The steam causes the electronics to shut the whole stove off.
The dishwasher is the only thing that hasn't failed, but it doesn't work all that well either. |

We buy larger side by sides as we have a large family.
In our experience GE has been crap, we had two and they both crapped out in around five years, had issues with water on one, with temp control on the other. Problems always start right after warranty is out, or course. Our current Frigidaire isn't making me want to buy another one either. Some connector where the water filter attaches broke, so now the water/ice system is down because all the water goes through the filter. Two of the drawers have broken too, seems like cheaper plastic is the problem throughout. I could probably fix it, but that requires emptying/defrosting, etc.... PITA. Easier to buy the occasional bag of ice and get a glass of water from the tap, there's a filter there too. Also, the control panel on the front broke earlier, but I was able to fix it pretty easily. Once you start working on things you realize just how cheaply they're made. Now the thirty plus year old Kenmore out in the unheated garage? It's great... Of course it's your typical stack design, no ice maker, etc... but it just chugs right along. |

I recently put in a Whirlpool microwave, it would be nice if all the appliances matched. I don't use ice for anything, so I doubt the icemaker will ever be turned on. |

But I always couch that with "...I've only had it since May 2020". There just isn't much in the way of long term reliability data out there, even anecdotally - Both because it's a newer design, and the fact that it's like ~$3,300. There just aren't that many of them out there, and if there are, their owners aren't sharing their experiences on the Internet. Design-wise, it seems well thought out. I don't expect any problems, but...I can't really know. |

I'd recommend General Motors.
 I picked up a 'dead' 1948 model today for $40 to make into a smoker, but on a whim I repaired the cord end and plugged it in. Immediately it ran almost silently and got COLD fast.  Attached File |

They are all shit compared to how they used to be.
Had a GE side by side for 8 years. It was never great but everything worked. Had a recall early on that was fixed. Replaced that with a Samsung. Ice maker issues at 13 months that were not possible to resolve. It leaked green shit out of the shell and into the fridge so Samsung bought it back. Dropped 3k on a KitchenAid. We’re on the second set of door seals that are tearing through, second air diverter, and it still freezes milk and drips water from the dispenser. It had four service calls in the first 3 months. KitchenAid has bought this one back. Kinda wish I had that GE again Don’t know what to get next, but I have a credit waiting at the appliance place when I decide. |

We've had good luck with LG for washers and dryers.
Sumsung was nothing but 100% pain. Our Samsung washers and dryers had to be replaced within two years after purchase despite multiple warrantied repairs. We gave away our Samsung frige bc the icemaker froze over again and again and we finally replaced it with something that worked. Lesson learned. Caveat emptor. |

FPNI thing struck again.
LG is booty!!!! I'm on my fourth one. The first three went out within the first two weeks of ownership. LOL...I wanted to return it after the first one, but my wife was stuck on the stupid drawer system. Anyhow, the third one leaked and caused some damage to my wood floor. Suffice to say, we ended up getting the fridge for free and 2000.00 for the fucked up floor. Moral of the story: LG might be good for phones, but definitely not fridges. |

Samsung seems to have issues with condensers icing up but mine is going on 2 years now with no problems. Also have a LP Samsung stove thats been flawless too.
Washer and dryer are whirlpool iirc. I've only had to replace the water pump so far. Was like $30 and 10 mins to install |

Avoid Maytag. Our house came with all Maytag appliances in the kitchen. I think every appliance but the microwave has required some sort of attention. The fridge had two capacitors fail which caused the front display to flash and the ice dispenser door to flap open and closed repeatedly. Thankfully, it was easy enough to desolder and resolder some new caps (less than $10 fix), but most people either don't have troubleshooting skills or wouldn't bother to fix their own fridge. Also, the ice dispenser constantly jams. You have to reach in and get ice out of the bin nearly every time you want ice.
