    Do no buy GE. Super trash all of their appliances.

    As for recommendations - LG seems to be ok so far.

      If there’s one brand I’m not buying again it’s LG.

      I know of two LG dishwashers (mine and my parents) that have… issues.

      My fridge from them is okay but I’m fairly confident there have been a few times that freeze portion had gone significantly above its set temperature because some popsicles melted. I’ve also had issues with the ice maker design not actually knocking down the ice so I have to open up the door and bang on it to break it loose, at which point a few pieces of ice fly onto the floor.

      My oven/electric range from them well … so far so good on that one. I do wish there were actual knobs/buttons instead of the weird “touch” buttons but that just seems to be the trend these days.

      We’ve replaced our Samsung washer, dryer and dishwasher with LG. Which has been pretty rock solid so far, our Samsung range finally died recently and all the LG ranges we looked at were absolute trash using the cheapest metal imaginable. We ordered a whirlpool this time, not sure how well it’ll work out… Find out tomorrow I guess
