GE washing machines and dishwashers are solid and the distributor service network still backs them. Haier (the company that owns GE Appliance) sells Haier-branded appliances that aren't bad for the money, too. Commercial appliances are the way to go for reliability. They are 3-4x the cost but for some appliance categories that's palatable. E.g., we were able to buy a Speed Queen but haven't found a commercial fridge we're comfortable buying. Commercial isn't all upsides, either, since you are committing to owning the same unit for longer and paying for a series of repairs over time (or DIY if you have time and expertise.) The bulk of the retail market would rather put that money into a new unit every 8-10 years. We're with the crowd in some appliance categories, not all.
