Yet many expensive brands arent worth themoney, based on independent reviews, consumer ratings and assessments fromConsumerReports.org.
Samsung
In an assessment from 247WallSt.com, Samsung appliances received poor marks practically across the board.
There isat least one Samsung smart deviceyou can trust, however.
Samsung Smart TVs earn consistently high ratings, most garnering at least 4 stores on Amazon.
LG
Like Samsung, LG made its name primarily as an electronics manufacturer.
The companys foray into home appliances like refrigerators and washing machines hasnt delivered the quality LG fans expect.
Thewebsite 247WallSt.comcalled out the companys washing machines, clothes dryers, ranges/ovens and refrigerators as brands to avoid.
Electrolux
It can be hit-or-miss when you choose an Electrolux kitchen appliance.
For a mid-to-high-end priced brand, not every Electrolux appliance performs as well as you might expect.
CR members said they are not likely to recommend this French door model to friends.
247WallSt.com rated Electrolux microwaves as unreliable.
Amazon reviewers gave thebuilt-in, 2.0-cubic-foot stainless steel Electrolux microwavea mere 2.3 stars.
One reviewer wrote: It takes forever to heat things up.
The repairman says that its working fine.
Well, if this is working fine, Id hate to see broken!
Maytag
Maytag has a longstanding reputation for customer service and quality at affordable prices.
It received poor marks for its cleaning capabilities, noise, and water efficiency.
One ConsumerAffairs.com reviewer called their Maytag refrigerator the poorest quality appliance I have ever purchased.
Overall, ConsumerAffairs.com reviewers gave Maytag refrigerators just one star across 1,071 reviews.
But is the name worth the price?
However, if youre shopping for a new range/oven combination, the HedmanSoto.com website recommended JennAir.
