My Roper washer (cheapest option at the time, I had never heard of them) died last week. This time, GE was the cheapest option. In a few years I expect to have a Samsung that will require a subscription to run heavier loads.
- buescher 4y agoHaier bought GE appliances a while back. They are just using the name under license.
- seren 4y agoGE appliances is not owned by GE anymore (since 2016), it is now a subsidiary of Haier, a Chinese company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Appliances https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Appliances
- zdragnar 4y agoI can't speak to their washers, but I've been pleasantly surprised with my Haier refrigerator. I needed a very specific width to fit my kitchen, and theirs was pretty much the only not-obscenely-expensive option due to being a non-standard size. It has gone without any need for repair far longer than other new refrigerators my extended family has bought, but it also doesn't have an ice maker or water filter- just a really dumb refrigerator and freezer that (knock on wood) Just Works.
- TMWNN 4y agoRefrigerators may be the one market in which the Chinese (Haier, at least) have a better reputation than the Koreans. The consensus (based both on what I've seen online, and a refrigerator repairman I consulted) is that Samsung and LG refrigerators are trouble-prone.
- bombcar 4y agoIf you're willing to go a step above cheapest, Speed Queen should last few years longer, and be repairable. (judge the quality of appliances by how much BROKEN ones sell for on the various sites)
- moistly 4y agoAvoid the Samsung dishwasher. I own one and it is crap. Buy a Bosch instead. There have been a few HN threads about appliances; Samsung is generally regarded as being crap.
