  I bought an apartment nearly 5 years ago, and so shortly after that went on the appliance shopping trip. I tried to get what I thought were good quality appliances, and everything is still mostly working ok, but there have been teething problems with everything: - Bosch Fridge Freeze - a couple of the shelves have broken and I have no idea where to get replacements. - Bosch Fan Oven - sometimes cuts off if it is left on above 250c for more than 30 mins. - Bosch Dishwasher - had to take it apart once to clean as some paper got stuck in the impeller. - Bosch Condenser Dryer - no issues so far, other than not RTFM about the drain hose which needs to be elevated above the unit for some reason. - Samsung Washing Machine - One day I came in and there was water all over the floor from the washing machine. Took it apart and I could see signs of leaking, but couldn't see anything wrong, after that it worked fine. Recently it starting making a lot of noise on the spin cycle, turned out the feet needed leveling, now it's good as new. - Electrolux Induction Cooktop - There are some cosmetic issues (stains that won't come off) on the glass.
